EQUIPPING THE SAINTS : A Method of Self-Directed Bible Study for Lay Groups
Dozier, Verna J.
Alban Institute, 1981
45 pages

Dozier declares, “The point of lay Bible study is to help lay people reclaim their authority as the people of God” (Celia Hahn in the preface). Hahn adds, “Laity are raised in a culture of dependence on authorities. We are taught to sit at the feet of experts, and not to trust the validity of our own wrestling.” Dozier wants to help laypeople discover their call through Scripture. She provides guidelines for personal or small group Bible study and presents a dramatic narrative of her group wrestling with Scripture and its application. This is very helpful for beginners in Bible study not led by an expert.
