Frequently asked questions
What should I include in a Bible character study?
Use the passages about the person, their words and actions, relationships, choices, outcomes, and the story's wider point.
Should I infer a Bible character's motives?
Only when the text gives evidence. Mark uncertainty instead of treating an imagined motive as a biblical fact.
