Talk:Bible study (Christianity)

message: "Christian" is a misnomer in this case.  The term refers to very specific groups of Christians called Protestants.  Protestants cannot claim to represent all Christians.  Do the references in this article apply to Oriental Orthodox Churches? Clearly not.
I am proposing that this artilce be moved to some other title such as Devotion (Evangelicalism)  or Devotion (Christian fundamentalism).  Pick one.

replies: text: If I understand correctly, this article is for the concept of "bible study". This concept is a Christian concept, not a evangelical or fundamentalist only concept. In fact, I did a search and found a book The Catholic Women’s Devotional Bible, that says "A Bible designed to make Scripture more accessible to Catholic women, focusing on deepening their spirituality by nurturing a love for God and his Word and teaching them how to use Scripture in prayer and daily life." Sounds like the description in this article. I personally think those two naming proposals are too narrow for the scope of this article. Any more ideas?--Andrew c 04:28, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

text: In all honesty, I think this article needs some work. Parts of the article read like an ad (and what's up with the redlinks?) I also think this article should be renamed either Christian bible study or Bible study (Christianity). I do not think there is anything specifically about this article (except the parts I call "ads") that is specifically evangelical. Like I said, the idea of 'bible study' or 'devotion' isn't unique to one sect, and is actually found in the RCC as well. By changing the name of the article, we a) use a term that I feel is more common b) avoid confusion with an identical term that has a specifically catholic meaning (devotions, such as the Sacred Heart and c) use a term that still fits the content of this article, but also a term that is clearly used in a vast number of sects (including Mormons and JWs). So what do you think? Am I missing something? Is this article describing something that is unique to evangelical churches?--Andrew c 18:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Ok, thats good information on the book I found. Sorry I didn't look deeper into it. That said, you said "in Catholic circles... we just call a Bible study". And I proposed renaming the article to Bible study (Christianity). I also proposed re-writing the article to cover bible study among all denominations, and to remove the "ads". Are any of these suggestions inappropriate? I am not trying to argue or debate. I'm trying to make this article better. Sorry for goofing on the Catholic Bible study book, but can we focus on improving this article? Or is there a concept of "bible study" that is strictly protestant that I am missing. If so, can you define this form of "bible study" that Catholics do not use.--Andrew c 22:50, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
