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?

I think doing the macro helps better understand it. Some of the books in the Bible is not actually written by the book’s title. So knowing who wrote it, why they wrote it, etc., gives me a better understanding of it. I am more of the type of reader that I have to picture the story in my head with the looks of the characters. I also think that I was already use to this growing up, my schooling was based on this. We had to do this to understand it but then did it to also write.

It forces us to slow down and understand the context and time of the story and how it applies and what everything means. If we did not understand context, the meaning of whole books could be misunderstood.

Every question that is asked and answered gives you a better understanding of what you are reading. If an individual gets the overall picture first, it is easier for them to understand the finer details with a more in-depth review.
