What do you think each of the six macro-observation questions of “Who, What, How, Where, When and Why” contribute to understanding a book of the Bible?

[Austin]

Gives the Bible student all necessary information to understand the book

[Austin]

These questions, when answered, give us a broad overview of the Bible book being studied. They prepare the reader to better understand when it’s time to do micro-observation.

[Austin]

Each of the six observation questions bring a clearer focus of the book being observed. Each answer brings together a better and more clear understanding and if one does not answer them all then there may be something missing that may skew the understanding of a specific text. (i.e., If the reader did not understand Ezekiel was in Babylon when he received his prophecies one may believe he was seeing these things first hand.)

[Austin]

Knowing and answering each macro-observation questions helps us understand the book in context and helps to limit mis-interpretation of its passages.

[Austin]

You need to answer all these questions to accurately interpret the meaning of the scripture as it was written in its original form and the message being conveyed.
