About this ebook

This book is a demonstration of how to do in-depth bible study. Not the regular type of bible study, where you read a few verses and chat about them over tea and biscuits, but the type of study you would do if you wanted to write a commentary on a book of the bible. The best way to learn is to do. For that reason, we will be using an actual book of the bible, the book of Job, as a concrete example. We will go through it together; I will explain each step as we go, you will complete the step, then compare your notes to what I got. This will require parsing the book multiple times, and at 42 chapters, that is not trivial. As I said, this type of bible study is quite different to what is commonly understand by that term; it is also the only way to really penetrate a text. My first chapter is a general discussion on reading the bible, we will think on questions such as: Is there a right way? Is there a wrong way? What are we responsible for? What is God responsible for? With regards to the book of Job itself; I will say things that can be found in any orthodox commentary and things unusual, unique and controversial. Because you will be reading and dissecting the text along with me, so you will come to your own conclusions; the most important principle - that you should see these things for yourself.
