  2. HOW TO STUDY THE BIBLE

  3. Exegesis or Eisegesis Exegesis - is a critical explanation or interpretation of a text, especially a religious text. Eisegesis - is the process of misinterpreting a text in such a way that it introduces one's own ideas, reading into the text.

  4. Why Inductive Bible Study? Inductive simply means to use ”logic induction” i.e. (reasoning = faith + reason) by examining the particulars, facts and essence of a text first before making any conclusions. Inductive Bible Study enhances the exegesis (Bible Study) process by enabling us to read the Bible for all its impact, value and significance.
