How to Study the Bible, a beginner’s guide by Frederick Perry Sr.

Inside the guide

A clear place to start.
A method you can keep using.

Move from wondering where to begin to studying one passage with purpose. Each lesson builds toward a response you can practice.

  1. Find your bearings

    Understand Bible references, different kinds of writing, and why the surrounding verses matter.

  2. Learn a simple study method

    Pray, observe, understand, and respond. Use four clear steps without turning your study into a rigid checklist.

  3. See the method in practice

    Follow a worked example from Luke 10:38–42, then practice with John 15:1–8.

  4. Build a steady habit

    Follow a seven-day reading plan and use three printable worksheets for study notes, questions, and weekly reflection.

For your next faithful step

Bring an open Bible
and a willing heart.

Written for beginners and anyone who wants a clearer approach to personal Bible study. Work at your own pace, with your Bible beside you.
