What is the single most important practical skill Greg Koukl has ever learned as a Christian? Never read a Bible verse. That’s right, never read a Bible verse. Instead, always read a paragraph (at least) if you want to unlock the meaning of a passage.

Greg even goes so far to say that this is “the single most important thing I could ever teach you.” His goal is to rescue believers from a superstitious way of reading their Bibles that causes silliness, confusion, and sometimes even disaster.

In this popular and thought-provoking resource, Greg challenges the practice of looking for secret, personal messages in the text and gives four biblical reasons why this is not a proper approach to Scripture. He then offers specific benefits of reading passages in context, using a handful of iconic texts as prime examples of verses taken out of context.
