9 Levels of Bible Knowledge

  1. The books and their names; the storyline
  2. Knowledge of all the major characters and stories—Who are these people and what did they do? Moses, Hosea, Silas, Epaphroditus, Keturah, Onesimus.
  3. A definition of major terms: Father, Son, God, believe, repent, sin, law, guilt, redeem, justify,
  4. Attention to repeated words and themes in different sections (what is repeated in Psalms or Pro. or Isa. or Matt. or Gal.)
  5. A summary statement for each book
  6. Attention to what is said about God in each passage rather than merely looking for how something applies to “me.”
  7. Finding in each verse other verses that explain, repeat, and clarify.
  8. Ability to title each chapter in a book or throughout the Bible.
  9. In every verse and chapter: Finding wonder and joy at the wisdom of God in Christ.
