I am so excited to hear that there is someone else out there who types up notes of what he or she has highlighted in the books they read! Thank you for validating me this way haha. I love typing up notes and quotes after I read a book. It helps me remember better, I enjoy it, and it's such a great reference for later!
I've been listening through the Bible with the Through the Word app and I love it. There is a lot of explanation and they connect things that I wouldn't.
Haha, i got really nervous at first when you were talking about reading the text and asking "what does this text mean to me?" That can be very dangerous and leaves the text to an unlimited interpretation. It's really learning about Hermanuetics and reading from what the authors intended to convey to the reader. So im glad you mentioned reading commentaries in your studies.
I always read scripture asking the question, "what is God doing to save?"
The scriptures are about Christ and not about us. Once i got that, man, it changed everything on how i read the bible. Whatever you do, and it's tempting to do but don't read yourself into the text. Show me the Law and show me the Gospel.
Good topic on study. We'll never mine all the gold but it sure is awesome to chop away at it.
Thanks for watching!
There’s such a beautiful grace to your videos. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on studying the Bible.
That means a lot, Alex. Thank you very much.
@@timwildsmithiiii
I'm a Bible nerd too and appreciate you sharing some of your pro tips for studying the Bible. My process for Bible Study is very similar for getting the most out of Scripture by including personal reading, commentaries, typing up notes/thoughts, and how this practically applies to our lives. I have to look into the NT Wright commentaries you shared. Thank you, Tim, and have a great week!
You’re welcome, Paula!
Thanks for all the great ideas!
Thanks for sharing this Tim.
You’re welcome, J D!!
Love it, thanks for sharing your study process.
You bet, Phil... thanks for watching!
What a great process!!!!
Tim, I'm grateful that you are able to distill your process into such a clear series of steps. This is very useful! Thank you. 💛
You are very welcome!!
@@timwildsmith After telling my DH what you outlined, it seems we may follow your lead.
This is hugely encouraging! Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Thanks for this, Tim!
You’re welcome, Dean!
This was so informative and the video notes with all of the links was fantastic, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I enjoyed this, thanks for sharing
You’re welcome, Ronda!
Great review, Tim .. as always! Love your videos. 💕
Thank you, Sheryl!!
this is so helpful!! thank you!
You're so welcome!
Thank you. You inspire to dig deep into the word. That you take the time to include links for viewers is definitely going the whole mile. Much thanks.
You’re welcome, Carol!!
Tim thanks once again! I agree with all the other comments here, this makes me want to try this now.
You're welcome, Brad... I hope it helps!
Love this!
Hope it's helpful!
Your channel just gets better and better!
Thank you, Burns! I’m trying!
Fantastic and informative. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Really insightful video. I struggle to know where to start with a deep meaningful study and this has been a great help. Thanks Tim.
You're very welcome!
I will say I have added this video to my Bible Stuff playlist. So welcome to my life Brother Tim, see you when we pass over.
Tim, thank you very much for the inspiration and info to get into Bible study from a different perspective. I own a set of Clarke’s commentaries that were left to me by my grandfather. I’m definitely going to look into those that you showed us.
You're welcome!
Loved this. I never even thought about reading commentaries in full book by book. I’ve always just used them for quick reference. I’m going to try your method
Let me know how it goes!
Wonderful your videos! Thank you for your suggestions and truly inspiration about your process of studying the Word of Our Lord! 🙏🏼
You’re welcome, Diana!
Good simple methodology
Great video! Thanks from Brazil!!
Thanks for watching!
I like the way you work here Mr.Wildsmith
😀 Thanks!
Thank you Tim! You are a great encouragement to me. Your 3 Step Study guide is a great way to dig into God’s Word.
You’re welcome! ❤️
I never thought of an introduction book, all the things I am learning, I will put that on my logos wish list.
Nice!
It seems really nice. Gonna try on this too 😇
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
thank you this will be helpful
👍🏼
Cool method. I do something similar except the idea of creating a finished document after the second step . That’s worth considering .
Thanks!
Blessings
You're welcome, Bill!
Thanx, Tim🌹🌹🌹🔥
You're welcome 😊
I love this…thank you! I own Wright’s complete Everyone Commentary Series!
Nice!!
Dope!!
I have watched many of your videos and his has to be one of your best for me anyway because I am embarking on a new study of the Bible. My goal is to complete a one year reading plan which I think I can do in 6 months of my new ESV Study Bible from Crossway that you and so many others have recommend. Also, I am looking at several bible apps to see how those can add to my study journey. In the past I relied on our service bible readings, but since our Paster stays with only one lectionary, the readings are repeated each year. I will look at l one of the New Testament commentaries that you recommended, adding them to my Amazon wish list for future reference. Thanks again for your always thoughtful and encouraging youtube videos.
Thanks, Glenn! Glad Yano’s was helpful!
I have just discovered the ‘for Everyone’ series extends to the OT and not just the NT (written by N T Wright’s co-author John Goldingay) and have started buying some to help me.
I have the OT set, too. So great!
Great approach and resources. Thanks for sharing. Maybe publish your word doc summaries online, useful resources
Thanks, Jake. That’s a great idea.
ESV Bible Atlas might be a good reference too. Thanks for your video. I'm going to try it, but using resources I've already got on Logos; might make the big notebook quicker to accumulate. Great ideas - thanks.
Thanks for sharing!
The first thing I do when I am studying a chunk of text is take a look at all the footnotes and read what they say. I learn a lot by comparing scripture to scripture.
Great idea.
Amen!!
Learned from the best!
Tim, thanks for sharing this. I really appreciate your big picture concept. For example, after reading the Hebrew Scriptures, my big take-aways were that God selects flawed people to work through, that the greatest commandments are to love God, your neighbor, and take care of the most vulnerable in society; and it really offends God to hurt those most vulnerable and to raise idols to false gods. Cherry-picking scripture inevitably leads to false assumptions about God or getting hung up on tangents. The Bible is best read and understood in its entirety. I hope you can continue your studies with Tom Wright. Mike
You’re welcome, Mike. And thanks for sharing... I agree with you!
I watched a few minutes and had to subscribe.
How do you balance deep theological and analytical study with a simple quiet time for communion with God? And How do you go about that?
Great question. Personally, I tend to use practices like Lectio Divina, prayer, and meditation/reflection when I want to connect with God in a meaningful way.
This was really excellent, thanks for sharing! I've been trying to read large sections of scripture each year, but I think it would be good to take more time to really focus on specific book(s) and this offers some great ideas on how to go about that.
You’re welcome! I think both methods are good for different reasons. Perhaps a mixture of the two would be cool!
I find listening to the book or section that I'm focusing on in the Word of Promise Audio Bible. It is NKJV which I'm quite familiar with but hearing it with different voices for each person seems to help in some way.
It is going to take about a month to get through romans. I like going slow . Sometimes the hard part is wrestling with am i going slow for the sake of going slow or am i going over stuff i already have a handle on and im a wasting yime. I have found skim reading large commentaries and bringing questions yo different passages
Great video! Do you have suggestion for a first book to study in this manner?
I think one of the Gospels is a great place to start!
I use logos, with other commentaries and my three study bibles than after the chapter I write a bible study, and my own devotional.
That's a great method.
💛
❤️
I love this idea, I need to get books like these, do you know any good books for the Old Testament?
Thank you for this it gave me some idea how to enhance my Bible study. Do you ever use bible software, I have an older version of Logos 7, that I am just now getting used to?
You’re welcome, Clark! I use Logos a little bit, and I like it!
I enjoy your videos and want to try out this on the gospel of John. I will see if my options of when Jesus call his mother women changes God bless Ted
Go for it!
Hi Tim, can you please recommend a modern commentary written by a scholar (new testament) for beginners please?
The N.T. Wright books I suggested in this video are a good place to start.
@@timwildsmith Thank you. I got them a few days ago.
the gospel accordding to the luke
Hello! How do I know what Christian books to read and if the authors are true ministers of the Word? Please advise. There are many wolves in sheeps clothing who wrote books and are in the "Christian" section in books store. I'd love to know how you choose your books as a reformed baptist. Please let me know your tips, or if you have a list of reputed authors and such etc. Thank you so much! I'd love to become an avid reader this year 2022. Btw, happy new year!
Happy New Year… I think we all need to be thoughtful about what we read and from who. I tend to trust the work of those published by established publishers… and those with a well known reputation. But I also like to read the work of people I disagree with from time to time… always trying to be wide and thoughtful as I interact with someone else’s perspective.
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing your passion and practice in the study of God’s Word. I do have a book recommendation for you to check out. “Dig Deeper: Tool’s for Understanding God’s Word” by Nigel Beynon & Andrew Sach, offers the reader tools to help discover something new and relevant. I’m currently reading and discovering literary tools to use in God’s Word. Blessings❣️
Thanks, Marcell. I’ll check it out!
you may add english subtitle
do you have any recommendations like the ones in the big picture but for the old testament?
I like the John J. Collins book (amzn.to/3Jp3kio) and it's shorter counterpart (amzn.to/3rJZtX5)
come eith me to share the gospel pray for this woman god bless
Great video. how long would it take you to study that one book like Matthew or any of the gospels?
Last year I have myself 3 months for each Gospel, which was a fairly relaxed pace where I used multiple commentaries.
@@timwildsmith I think im going to try this out. thank you.
I know this is old but I don't see links to the products u mention
They’re all in the video description.
What do you recommend as one of the Best Study Bibles.
My favorites are the ESV Study Bible and NIV Study Bible... I also like the NET Full Notes Edition for something a bit different.
@@timwildsmith are those for New beginners ? What about the life applications ? Or the NLT study Bible ? Hard to choose can’t buy them all . Lol.
Hi sir, what is your prefered translation for reading?
Lately I've been bouncing back and forth between NRSV, NASB, and NLT.
@@timwildsmith ah nice, I've seen a few people rate the NLT I may have to give that a go. What are your thoughts on the NIV these days? Seems the 2011 got some flack for the gender inclusive language, but it still seems okay to me!
@@rodgermilner7800 I like the NIV a lot.
"how I study a book of the bible.
Step 1- Get an idea of the big-picture, by reading the whole book in 1 sitting."
how to study the books of the bible,thank your lessons,come from china
You are very welcome.
Which Bible is most recommended?
They one you will enjoy the most!
You read it in English but old testament was written in Hebrew and New testament was written in Greek. The Hebrew Bible and Greek new testament scriptures are separate books .
You think everybody in the world has a bible app?
Not everyone... but the number of global smartphone users is estimated at 6.8 billion.
@@timwildsmith you do know the bible app isnt standard on every smartphone right?
@@Yesica1993I was just being very nitpicky about him saying ”that I think everybody in the world has on their phone”
Is it me or the bible just getting pricier?
