This
study is written by Emily Khong a second-year computing student. She attended a
Bible camp over the summer and was inspired by the book of Philippians. With
very little help, she wrote up 4 studies based on Philippians. We will use the
studies in Hamilton International Christian Fellowship this Semester.
If
particular books of the bible have challenged or inspired you, approach someone
who could shadow you as you write studies for other students on campus so that
they too will be blessed. Or txt me...love being part of the whole process of
writing studies.

Because Emily is a student in university at the moment, the focus of her study is specific, she is writing for her friends and others in the same position as her--this process is called contextualisation.
Another method of study is called manuscript bible study.
I have a copy of the resource material for a manuscript bible study of the book of Philippians taken from Intervarsity Ministry Exchange, the American body of IFES. It may be interesting contrast the two techniques of doing bible study. Allowing the bible to speak for itself is an important part of any bible study....to read into the text in order to use the bible to justify ideas is called proof-texting. Proof texting uses the authority of the bible to justify actions instead of allowing the bible to change our lives. It is important to be able to identify when speakers and studies are proof texting and avoid doing proof texting ourselves when writing and doing bible study. Let me know if you would like to chat more.
