Here’s a great but brief video from Michael Horton and the White Horse Inn with some basic principles for Bible reading.
- Engage the text.
 - Don’t assume you know what it means.
 - Look for the original meaning to the original audience.
 - Learn from how other Christians have read this passage around the world and in different times.
 - Remember the big picture is about Jesus Christ.
