Basic Principles for Bible Reading

May 4, 2016 By Peter Krol

Here’s a great but brief video from Michael Horton and the White Horse Inn with some basic principles for Bible reading.

  4. Learn from how other Christians have read this passage around the world and in different times.
  5. Remember the big picture is about Jesus Christ.
