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?
-
For me, Contemporary Application stood out the most. As a high school teacher, students are looking for what the Gospel means for them in their lives, right now. The history and interpretation are “okay” in their eyes, but they long for real life meaning that they can apply and use on an everyday basis. My desire is to be able to better help them see and make those applications so that Christ is more real for them.
-
I believe Interpretation stood out to me because as a studying Minister I believe the correct interpretation not only helps me with sermons and teaching but I believe it would personally strengthen my faith in the word of God.
-
I think the most interesting topic question is the contemporary application, or how it impacts individual’s lives. The statement that the application could very well be different for every reader strikes me as true and complicates the issue as a teacher. Whenever I look at a text subconsciously interpret it and especially when reading the Bible look for its application and relevance in my life. I think it is essential to go through this process as the Bible cannot only be read; it must be practiced.
-
Historical, exegesis, theological and contemporary application are the 4 types of questions. Theology stood out the most which would be to develop and advance the studies of the central lessons and the major doctrines of the Bible. Focusing on theology can bring about deeper spiritual understanding of the New Testament along with any bible studies.
