About Inductive Bible Study

Inductive Bible Study is a method of studying the Bible by carefully observing the text to discover its meaning and then applying it to one's life, following a three-step process of Observation (what the text says), Interpretation (what the text means to the original audience), and Application (how to respond to the text today).
 

About the Intensive

This Intensive is designed to operate in a workshop format with hands-on training in studying the Scriptures. All participants will receive a 100-page IBS workbook and will be asked to complete work assignments individually, in small groups, and in class discussions with the Teacher. Lessons from different Bible book types — narratives, poetry, epistles, prophecy, and Jesus' parables — make each participant comfortable throughout the entire Bible.

​

What you will learn

The inductive training system teaches how accurate observation of a text clarifies Scriptures and makes the Word come alive!

• How to develop study tools for effective interpretation and application.

• How to make simple outlines of entire books of the Bible for easier learning and teaching.

• How to chart a text once it is outlined to further break the text apart and see its depth.

• How to teach the Bible in a way that others can follow.
   

The Instructor: Pastor Dan Finfrock, Intensive Care Ministries

Pastor Dan Finfrock has been teaching the Inductive Bible Study method to pastors and churches around the world for over 40 years. Pastor Dan founded Intensive Care Ministries in 1984 before he moved his family to the Philippines, where he saw the need to train national pastors how to study the Bible inductively, with an emphasis on becoming expositors of the Word. Since Intensive Care Ministries' beginning, thousands of pastors and Christian workers have been taught the Inductive Study Method, and many churches flourish because of this ministry. Staff are now located in the United States, the Philippines, Russia and Africa.
