Big Picture Section Summary / Application Form

As an additional Big Picture of the Bible study tool, Ms. Nichols has designed a Section Summary/Application Form to help readers reinforce understanding and personal application of Scripture. After reading each section of Big Picture of the Bible, use the first side of the form to identify the context of Scripture by answering the questions: Who, Where, When, What, Why, and How. Use the second side to document lessons learned and personal application. Bible study teachers and group leaders can then step through each section of the form to facilitate group discussions.
