half of the Gospel of Mark in an inductive way. Inductive study is

reading the passage in context and asking questions of the text

with the purpose of deriving the meaning and significance from

the text itself. We do this automatically every day when we read

the newspaper, blogs, or even recipes. When we study the Bible

inductively we are after the author's original intent; i.e., what the

author meant when he wrote the passage to his original audience. In this workbook, you will figure out the meaning by answering a series of questions about the text, paying close attention to the words and context of the passage. After figuring out the meaning of the text, there will be questions to help you apply it to your life.
