Description: Ever since they were toddlers, most Christian high school students have been told why they should study the Bible. However, judging by the frustration common among them, it seems that few have heard how they should study the Bible. The Way of the Word seeks to remedy this problem by teaching teens not only how to study the Bible but also how to apply and obey it. Designed for 11th and 12th grade students, this course recognizes that the most helpful insights for successful Bible study are often not the simplest ones to understand. Therefore if students will excel in this study, they must exert themselves mentally and spiritually. Although some may view such labor as "dry" and detrimental to zeal, one must never forget that man's noblest and most thrilling pursuit is the pursuit of God. The Scripture is the only entirely reliable source for seeking God. Therefore the greater a believer's skill in studying the Word, the greater will be his reasons for lasting joy and zeal. This course provides a teach-by-discussion approach to instructing students. This teacher's edition suggests that regular reading assignments should be the primary means of introducing the students to the material. To keep the students accountable for reading responsibly, the teacher should plan to give quizzes over each reading assignment. After introducing the material, the teacher should reinforce the course's facts and skills by using the in-class activities and discussions. Rather than presenting lecture material, this book offers the instructor outlines of suggested discussions. - To the teacher.
