The truth is that there is a 'How' to study the bible. The different types of study helps you with the 'how'. The type of study i like most is the word/phrase study. Understanding some words helps us so much when we are studying the bible. These key words helps us understand the whole concept. Also topical study is a very key one for example you can study on topics like Faith, Love, righteousness and many more. So dig and get to study.
