Is Women of the Word by Jen Wilkin a reliable guide for learning how to study the Bible?
With more than 250,000 copies sold, Women of the Word has become one of the most widely recommended books on Bible study for Christian women. But does it offer a biblically sound approach to interpreting Scripture?
In this episode, I take an in-depth look at Jen Wilkin's bestselling book, examining its central claims, evaluating its approach to hermeneutics, and comparing its teaching with biblical principles for handling God's Word.
Along the way, we'll discuss:
Why it's important to ask what a passage meant before asking what it means for us.
The relationship between the mind, the heart, and spiritual transformation.
Common mistakes Christians make when studying the Bible.
Why context matters—and why Scripture must interpret Scripture.
The difference between description and prescription in biblical narratives.
How our view of the Bible shapes the way we read it.
Practical principles that can help you grow in biblical literacy.
I'll also share several of my own Bible study tips, recommend additional resources for going deeper, and explain why sound Bible study matters for every Christian.
Whether you're just beginning to study the Bible or you've been reading it for years, this episode will challenge you to think more carefully about how we approach God's Word.
