yfisaqt Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I think there are a hundred effective ways to study the scriptures. While I don't think there's anything wrong with your plan, here are some other ideas (hope they help). "Study" typically means you're after something. Pick subjects you want to know about, and use the topical guide or index to find references. Something else I've done is critical analysis of verses in the scriptures. I always start with prayer, read the verse, and write up my critical analysis of what I think it means--whether it's right or wrong, I'm just writing what I think. Good luck.

Yekcidmij Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 i fuigerd i would go through pmg and read those passages and the script mastery is that a pretty decent study plan I pick a theme or a book and approach it that way. (not sure what "pmg" is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayhale Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 PMG= Preach My Gospel I feel that different ways to study is good, I know since I’ve read the scriptures different ways, I’ve read it all the way though, I’ve read the institute manuals, then read the sections of the scriptures that they described, then I also listened to the scriptures while reading them. I’ve also read the scriptures looking for something; topic; the ‘bigger pitcher’ (which I mean the long story arc, like the ‘pride cycles’ in the Book of Mormon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveler Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I find that study with a particular point of view is also interesting. For example as you read the scriptures use the point of view of what the particular scripture you are reading has to do with the time and era in which you live. Another example is to use the view of what your are reading related to covenants. The Traveler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayhale Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 You can go to: GospeLink.com - Search the Deseret Book Online LDS Library to find a lot of books of commentaries of scripture, you have to pay $50 per year, but I think with all the information on the site, it's well worth it.

TruthSeekerToo Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Key word searches are also very helpful. You can use the search function on lds.org (under scriptures) to make it fast and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applepansy Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Someone suggested to me that getting an unmarked (inexpensive- paperback) set of scriptures and using a red pencil marking only those passages that are obviously the words of Heavenly Father or Christ. I'm gong to do this. applepansy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
