Listening to the Language of the Bible Companion Bible Study

This Bible study is intended to be a helpful expansion of Listening to the Language of the Bible (above). It will allow you to explore each concept more fully in additional texts, and let you ponder how it changes the way you read the scriptures. The study guide often discusses even more nuances of meaning than were mentioned in the corresponding LLB chapter, so you have an even deeper knowledge by the end of the lesson. This study asks you to employ your new grasp of the Bible’s cultural perspective to examine your own life, to see what the scriptures are saying about how you should live. This book will work very well for a group Bible study. Just like many translations will expand your understanding of a passage, so will many ideas from your discussion together. The last question of each lesson is written especially to stimulate discussion, and you will be greatly blessed by hearing how others have found modern meaning and personal application.
