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?

I am increasing interested in historical question. I love how NT has so many personal applications, but I am gain so much insight when I learn about the historical context of each book. Just finishing the overview of Revelations, I realized how wrong I have interpreted that book due to my lack of historical context.
-
Historical stands out to me the most. I have definately spent my time in the Word and theology and application. However, I would like to better understand the time period and context, and be able to use history to explain the Truth of the Bible.
-
Historical background stands out most to me. I want to understand the scriptures in a deeper way. I believe we can find application to our modern lives, but I’m so intrigued by the historical aspect of the writers lives at the time. History repeat itself, after all!
-
Historical questions are interesting to me. Because of their different culture, language, and experiences, people in the first century would have a different way of understanding certain parts of the New Testament than we do in our modern times. Although the Bible is written for all of us, the New Testament writers were writing *to* their contemporaries. It opens up a new dimension of understanding when I think of how they would have received the message.
-
I think a combination of theology and contemporary application will be of the most help to me. To understand the major doctrines of Christianity and then apply them to life now.
