Bible Study Methods

Inductive Bible Study

The Inductive Bible Study method is the one that Joe introduced at kinship in May 2007. It's also the method described in the old, two-page handout Mike passed around. Mike's version was from Campus Crusade for Christ and is still available online at the God Squad site and as a PDF document.
