A Simple Study Guide

by | Feb 17, 2010 | Backstage Pass, Bible | 2 comments

Last Sunday, I talked about the incredibly simple & effective study guide I create for every text I'm going to teach.  Whenever I'm studying a passage in detail, I…

  1. Type it out — Or copy/paste it into a document
  2. Create a new line every punctuation mark — After every period, comma, semicolon, etc.
  3. Indent a phrase — If it appears to modify the previous phrase

That’s IT! The document becomes my study guide & helps me see the flow of the arguments being made.  It’s just a GREAT study technique.  (P.S. I learned this technique from Dr. Jeff.)

Here are the actual study guides I created & used last weekend.  Enjoy!

    Tim,
    Thank you for sharing your study habits. I have been desiring something like that for a while; from anyone. I was so glad to hear you do that. It made me feel good. I’m a reader and writer studying most every day for 2 hours and to see your way is something I’ve desired to know. I will try your way and see how it feels compared to what I’m doing now.
    Thanks again. Doug Neyens

    Thanks for the credit, Tim. It’s always a good experience for a teacher to see that a student actually learns something and is still doing it years later. Now, I’m learning from you!! Keep up the good work.
