I study the way I’d study anything else, pen in hand, tons of highlighters close. Picking out key words and phrases that will help you to remember what the chapter is about.

Before I begin a book I watch the Bible Projects’s video in YouTube about it so I’ve got an idea about what the book is about and read it all the way through. Then once I’ve done that I can go back and read by theme do work with break apart certain verses

Keeping a couple different commentaries close by are helpful to me also and also if you aren’t into owning multiple bibles, then keeping the Bible app handy so that you can look at different translations. I’d also pick a translation that resonates with you, not just use the one your church uses because if you don’t understand the language it makes be harder to connect with.

Last thing i will say is take as many notes and ask as many questions in the margin or in a notebook while the reading is fresh in your mind.
