In "Tools for Biblical Studies," Steve Gregg emphasizes the importance of applying principles of interpretation when studying the Bible.

When considering which version of the Bible to study, it is important to consider textual considerations and translational philosophy. Resources such as commentaries and Bible encyclopedias can provide additional context and understanding.
