In this updated edition of a trusted classic, two Christian education specialists provide readers with the knowledge and methods needed to effectively communicate the message of the Bible. The book offers concrete guidance for mastering a biblical text, interpreting it, and applying its relevance to life. Its methods, which have been field-tested for twenty-five years, help pastors, teachers, and ministry students improve their classroom skills. Readers will learn how to develop the "big idea" of a passage and allow the text itself to suggest creative teaching methods. This new edition has been updated throughout and explores the changed landscape of Bible study over the past two decades. Readable and interdisciplinary in approach, this book will help a new generation of Bible students teach in a purposeful and unified way.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>In this updated edition of a trusted classic, two specialists in Bible teaching provide readers with the knowledge and methods needed to effectively communicate Scripture's message. Now updated throughout, this accessible, interdisciplinary work will help a new generation teach the Bible in a purposeful and unified way.<br/><br/>"For a quarter of a century, Wilhoit and Ryken's <i>Effective Bible Teaching</i> has been a great resource for helping lay Bible teachers better understand how to study and teach God's Word in order to foster increased understanding, spiritual growth, and wholehearted obedience. In light of evidence pointing at the limited impact of the Bible in the lives of those who claim to love and follow Christ today, this update is a much-needed and welcomed resource. It should be read widely and used to shape and deepen the teaching of the Bible in a variety of settings including small groups and Sunday schools."<br/>--<b>Kevin E. Lawson</b>, director of graduate programs in Christian education studies, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University; editor, <i>Christian Education Journal<br/></i><br/><b><i>Praise for the first edition<br/></i></b><br/>"From cover to cover, this book is packed full with spot-on analyses of what makes poor teaching and concrete action steps to successful teaching each time at bat. Watch out! This book will make 'The Yawner' an extinct species in your classroom."<br/>--<b>Howard G. Hendricks</b>, Dallas Theological Seminary<br/><br/>"What a clever idea! Here is a book on Bible teaching combining the efforts of an outstanding Christian educator and a professor of English who has written several books on Bible study. . . . This book will find its way into many college and seminary classes as well as serving a strategic role in the hands of Sunday school teachers and Bible study leaders."<br/>--<b>Kenneth O. Gangel</b>, <i>Bibliotheca Sacra<br/></i><br/>"Wilhoit and Ryken have written in a lively style which is easy to read. . . . A very helpful work, and I think it likely that I shall refer to it in my own seminary teaching."<br/>--<b>Donald E.
