Begin by choosing a literary unit
A guided study begins with a complete thought unit, not a loose verse. Choose a passage below, then the workspace will guide you through Beginner, Standard, or Advanced study.
2. Observe before interpreting
Underline repeated words, box connectors, circle subjects and verbs, and mark commands, promises, warnings, contrasts, and questions.
Write down: at least 8-12 observations.
3. Interpret and apply
Ask what the author said, what he meant, how the first hearers would respond, and how this unit fits the book.
Write down: then-and-there meaning, timeless principle, and one action this week.
Choose your passage
Pick a literary unit to begin
Select a book and chapter, or search by passage, title, or unit ID. When you find the unit you want, choose Start Guided Study.
Choose the right level
- Beginner: use this first if the student is learning the method.
- Standard: use this when the student is ready for fuller structure, grammar, resources, and application.
- Advanced: use this for school-level or capstone work, teaching preparation, and serious research.
