-
This lesson introduced four types of questions that students can ask as they study each New Testament book. Which of these four types stood out to you most? Why? How do you think this type of question will help your study of the New Testament?
-
Historical background is important to understand who the author is and what are the worldly circumstances that he lives under. This is important when studying the book of Revelation for sure.
-
The question of historical background. I believe these type of questions will allow me to better understand where the writer is coming from and will help me understand the scripture better. i don’t want to misinterpret scripture.
-
It is difficult to pick just one of the four types because I think they are all equally important, but I will focus mostly on contemporary application. This type of question will, perhaps, be most relevant to myself and my students. I teach English, but as I work to integrate the Bible into my lessons, I often find myself wondering if the information is relevant and applicable to my students in this day and age. I believe God’s truth is relevant to all cultures and time periods, but I want to learn more about how to approach this with students who are nearing adulthood.
-
Contemporary application stands out to me the most. I want to know how it applies to me.
-
Contemporary application is the most important question to me. Asking: “How does this apply to me?” helps my study of the New Testament by striving to the apply the New Testament in every aspect of my life.
