II. Bible Synthesis The Srn theti c method of Bible study aims to provide the student with the following : - First : A comprehensiYe g rasp of the general content s of the entire B;ble so that the ma in features of its revelat ion may be seen and ur.cl erstoocl . Second: A bring ing together and summing up of the general contents so that the mutual relat ionships and ha rmony of the component parts are r ecognized . Third: A recognition of the progress iYe character and development of the d ivine re\·elat ion as set fo rth in the1 Scrip tures .
