Contextual Bible Studies:

The basic idea of this type of bible study is to really analyze a specific portion of scripture within its given context. An example would be if a study took a specific book of the bible and went through a chapter a week. The participants should read through the section and try to pick out what it is saying. Often they will find that some verse that they have heard before means something slightly different than they thought when it is put in the context of the rest of the passage. Also, as in the case mentioned earlier, the participants get to see the common threads that go through each book and, in time, even through the whole bible.

This type of bible study is geared toward one who wants to get a lot of exposure to scripture. It is a great way to really dig into what is going on in a passage. Some recommended books of the bible to start with include Galatians and James.
