<aside> 👨🏻‍🏫 Below are some aids to understanding the meaning of the Bible as you study it with intent.

</aside>

The first two documents: (one a paper by John Piper and the other a chapter from a book by Tom Schreiner) address Biblical exegesis with a graphical depiction of the argument in a discourse or other text.  Both are based upon Dan Fuller’s method from an unpublished document he used at Fuller Seminary many years ago.  Visit http://biblearc.com/ for a tool to perform this type of graphical depiction.  Not necessary but an option if you are into it.

Then there are a couple of cheat sheets that provide help with understanding and spotting the logical relationships between statements.

Then you will find a chapter from Robert Stein's great book on hermeneutics that covers the important topics of meaning, implications, and significance.

Finally, here is a link to a great message by John Piper followed by talk on education at BCS and what I call the learning model.
