Reading and Studying the Bible

Anyone who’s read the Bible knows that it’s an endless fascinating and supremely rich book. Whether you’re devout, questioning, or a total atheist, there’s something in there for everyone, and everyone should pick up a Bible at some point in their life.

But if you never have, you’re probably wondering where to start. It’s a huge book, the pages are super thin, and the text is tiny! There’s so much to explore, and it can be a little daunting if you’re someone who wants to see it all, or even just wants to read the highlights. Have no fear! We’re here to help. Take a look at these simple tips for reading and studying the Bible:

Start at the beginning.
After all, that’s where God started when he made the universe, and God making the universe is exactly where the Bible begins. Not a bad way to kick off a book, huh? By starting at the beginning, you’ll get some vital context for the rest of the book, including its histories, philosophies, and the series of events that cascades all the way through. Start with Genesis, then keep reading (at least through Exodus).

Mark passages that interest you.
And there will probably be a lot! Don’t be afraid to highlight, dog-ear, or even write in your Bible. It’s a holy book, sure, but it’s holiest when you’re engaging and pondering it. Marking verses that capture your interest will let you go back and study them, ask questions, and appreciate them all the more.

Don’t be afraid to get a little lost.
Again, it’s a big book! Some of the language can be confusing, and it can sometimes take seemingly strange detours. But every part of the Bible is important, and if you can’t see why just yet, you probably just have to read a little more! Don’t be ashamed if you don’t understand something. There are loads of study tools online, or you could phone your local church and ask questions. Clergy are always happy to answer, no matter who you are.
