Process is where Wilkin gets most practical — outlining specific tools and steps for actually digging into a biblical text. As you read, think about which of these tools you already use and which ones are new to you.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Wilkin outlines a process for Bible study built around three movements: comprehension, interpretation, and application. In your own words, what is each step asking you to do, and why does the order matter?
2.She argues that most Bible study skips straight to application — asking 'What does this mean for my life?' — before doing the work of comprehension and interpretation. What are the risks of that shortcut?
3.The comprehension stage involves asking basic observational questions of the text: Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? Take a short, familiar passage (for example, John 3:16 or Psalm 23:1) and spend five minutes just asking those questions. What did you notice that you hadn't noticed before?
