		<description><![CDATA[General Introduction: Why Study the Word of God? When we honestly ask the question, &#8220;How should we study the word of God?&#8221;, we are, in effect, admitting two things: first, that we have a fundamental need which we are unable to provide for ourselves. If we had no need in ourselves, it would be an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Centrality of Christ The scriptures, written as they were by many human authors, over many thousands of years, are nevertheless fully united in one glorious theme: the Christ. There is no testament, genre, book, paragraph, sentence, or word in the Bible that does not have its final reference point in Christ. This is what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Agency of Faith It is one of the most fundamental truths of Christianity that faith is essential for anyone to come to God and please him Eph.2:8,9; Heb.11:6. It is equally clear in scripture that faith is necessary for anyone to benefit by God&#8217;s word. Hebrews 4:2 explains to us that the Israelites had [...]]]></description>

In this lesson we will focus on the third element: studying contextually.
