ANTHROPOLOGICAL METHOD:
Anthropology is the study of man, his language, culture, physical development, and history. The history of man is often studied through archaeology which examines the remains of past civilizations. An example of language study would be a comparison of languages at the tower of Babel (Genesis 11) with the gift of tongues on the day of Pentecost (Acts 4). A study of Biblical culture would be studies of the religion, art, music, science, and literature of Bible times. For example, you might study the music of Israel and the instruments mentioned in the Bible.
BIBLE STUDY FILES
It is important to organize your Bible study notes. You may want to study the same topic, book, or passage again at a later time. You will also want to share what you have learned with others.
The easiest way to organize your notes is to create Bible study files. This can be done in one of two ways:
1. You can use file folders in which you can place your notes. You can also add articles from newspapers or magazines which relate to the subject as well as notes you take as you listen to others teach on the topic. Store your folders in proper order. If you cannot purchase a filing cabinet then obtain wood or cardboard boxes in which to organize your files.
2. If you have a computer, you can make data files for each book of the Bible and topic in which you can keep your notes.
There are three main types of files which you should create and organize:
1. Books Of The Bible: Make a folder for each book of the Bible. Place in these folders the notes from your study of that book, its chapters, paragraphs, verses, and words. Organize these folders in your file box in the same order as the books are organized in the Bible, starting with Genesis and ending with Revelation. You will make one folder for each book of the Bible.
2. Topics: As you study various topics, create folders by subject name. For example, you might study prayer, the parables of Jesus, or the names of God. Make a folder for each subject and place your study notes in it. Organize these folders in your file box alphabetically by subject name.
3. Personalities: These files will contain biographical studies. Label them by name, i.e., "Moses," "David," "Joseph," etc. Organize these folders in your file box in alphabetical order by name.
