Publisher's Synopsis
This book offers the student of Scripture a practical step-by-step method of Bible study based on sound principles of interpretation. The author, G. Michael Cocoris, was introduced to inductive Bible study at Dallas Seminary in a course taught by Dr. Howard Hendricks. The textbook was a Methodical Bible Study by Robert A. Traina. After teaching others how to study the Bible based on Traina's book and exploring additional material on Bible study, Cocoris developed the step-by-step method presented in this volume. Using this method, he wrote a commentary on and preached through every book of the Bible.
