FOUNDATION WORK

As one of the first essentials in Bible study, the memorizing of the books of the Bible in their order, will be found the greatest help. I would also learn the number of chapters in each book, especially in the New Testament. In locating passages, a knowledge of these will be found invaluable, enabling one to turn instantly to the chapter and verse desired. As the next aid, I would suggest learning some of the key chapters of the Bible, so that when ready help is wanted on some important topic, one can immediately turn to a chapter dealing specifically with that subject.
