The NIV Verse Mapping Bible will help you mine every verse of God's Word for the truth, direction and meaning that will guide you into a richer relationship with Christ. Using a study method that is unique to the NIV Verse Mapping Bible series, you will learn to compare specific verses to other translations and even explore the individual words of the original biblical languages.
In the NIV Verse Mapping Bible, author Kristy Cambron expands her verse mapping curriculum series to include verses from the entire Bible, showing you how to compare Bible translations, pick out meaningful words, and delve into the true meaning of each verse using starter verse maps and prompts. Verse mapping will help you study the historical context, transliteration, translation, connotation, and theological framework of a verse. This unique study technique includes exploring Hebrew and Greek word studies, finding connections in Scripture, comparing Bible translations, and learning as much as you can from your time in God's Word.
Verse mapping involves five steps:
Choose: Select a verse and write it out. Compare: Record this verse in two or three other Bible translations and underline key words that are the same or different between translations. Research: Look up the Hebrew or Greek meaning for the underlined words and record it. Consider: Ask questions of the verse. Imagine what it would be like to have experienced what's happening. Read the verses surrounding this verse and use other study tools to dig even deeper, if you prefer. Apply: What is God saying to you? How does this verse relate to your life today?
