ChristianBibleStudies.com: How to Lead a Good Discussion

Byhenry

I’m adding a couple of links from Christianity Today to this site, and I want to call particular attention to them. I try to keep the links, especially those near the top, as useful as possible. One of my key suggestions for Bible study is to look at different views in order to fill out your understanding of a passage. You don’t have to agree with all those views, but you will be better off for testing your own view against those other views.

There is an excellent artile on ChristianBibleStudies.com, that can help a small group with this approach. How do you generate discussion and get the members of your group profitably (to them and to all) involved in discussion? How can each individual grow. JoHannah Reardon makes some excellent suggestions in an article titled How To Lead a Good Discussion. I recommend it to all small group discussion leaders.
