Summary: A Resource for Teaching Bible Study
Review: Murray presents ten teaching methods for Bible study. Some of his ideas are quite good including theological Bible study, all senses Bible study, depth Bible study, and shared praxis Bible study. In these four methods, Murray helps us move past the written words to personalization and deeper understanding on both the part of student and teacher. However, in comparing all ten teaching methods Murray tends to be redundant, as there is a good deal of overlap in the ten methods. Additionally, some of the more current methods are not included in this book, which could be due in part to the fact that the material is somewhat dated, i.e. no material is presented which covers learning stations and/or cooperative learning groups. This book would be a good starting point for a novice Bible study teacher; but, for someone with any teaching experience, this book is not recommended.

Summary: Effective Bible Studies
Review: This book provided explicit procedures for implementing various Bible study methods. Each of the methods outlined gave detailed approaches to develop meaningful studies. Being non-technical, the methods used were very student oriented. Evaluations were also given of different prepared Bible studies, although these were somewhat outdated. Several of these methods were used in a class setting and most were very effective. This book is highly recommended for anyone interesting in beginning a Bible study, since it gives a wide variety of ideas for getting started.

Summary: Practical Approaches to Teaching the Bible
Review: This is an excellent book with many solid suggestions for new pastors or laypersons as well as those with many years of teaching under their belts. It is simple to read yet detailed with many ideas. There are concrete examples and it is broken down into adult and youth studies, however, most if not all examples can be used across all age brackets. It is a must read for all interested in enlivening any Bible study!
