II. Bible Synthesis
The Synthetic method of Bible study aims to provide the student with the following: First: A comprehensive grasp of the general contents of the entire Bible so that the main features of its revelation may be seen and understood. Second: A bringing together and summing up of the general contents so that the mutual relationships and harmony of the component parts are recognized. Third: A recognition of the progressive character and development of the divine revelation as set forth in the Scrip tures. Fourth: A knowledge of the clispensational teaching of the Word of Goel. The Synthetic method pursued by the class in this study is the reading beforehand of an appointed number of chapters in a book of the Bible; indeed, at times, a whole book is read at one sitting. The main sections of the book are then taken up and considered, and finally the teaching of the book is presented in unified form.
