Glossary Definition of word.
analyze
To carefully and systematically examine primary and secondary parts of a writing by various study techniques, including but not limited to word studies, diagraming, background research, probing considerations from various angles, and comparisons to other related passages or similar writings. Before analyzing a book or chapter of Scripture in detail, begin with attentively reading through the entire section. The purpose of analyzing is to form an accurate analysis.
Every person is called to carefully analyze the Scripture. Paul instructed Timothy to develop a skillful analysis of Holy Writ when the apostle Paul wrote, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2Ti. 2:15). Balancing the Sword includes almost 54,000 cross references to aid readers in analyzing the Bible with fair and broad consideration of how each biblical book corresponds to other passages. |
