Bible Study Questions on the Book of Zechariah
Introduction:
This workbook was designed for Bible class study, family study, or personal study. The class
book is suitable for teens and up. The questions contain minimal human commentary, but instead
urge students to study to understand Scripture.
Enough questions are included for teachers to assign as many questions as they want for each
study session. Studies may proceed at whatever speed and depth will best accomplish the needs
of the students.
Questions labeled "think" are intended to encourage students to apply what they have learned.
When questions refer to a map, students should consult maps in a Bible dictionary or similar
reference work or in the back of their Bibles. (Note: My abbreviation "b/c/v" means "book,
chapter, and verse.")
For class instruction, I urge teachers to assign the questions as homework so students come
to class prepared. Then let class time consist of discussion that focuses on the Scriptures
themselves. Let the teacher use other Scriptures, questions, applications, and comments to
promote productive discussion, not just reading the questions to see whether they were answered
“correctly.” Please, do not let the class period consist primarily of the following: "Joe, will you
answer number 1?” “Sue, what about number 2?" Etc.
I also urge students to emphasize the Bible teaching. Please, do not become bogged down
over "What did the author mean by question #5?" My meaning is relatively unimportant. The issue
is what the Bible says. Concentrate on the meaning and applications of Scripture. If a question
helps promote Bible understanding, stay with it. If it becomes unproductive, move on.
The questions are not intended just to help students understand the Scriptures. They are also
designed to help students learn good principles of Bible study. Good Bible study requires defining
the meaning of keywords, studying parallel passages, explaining the meaning of the text clearly,
making applications, and defending the truth as well as exposing religious error. I have included
questions to encourage students to practice all these study principles.
Finally, I encourage plain applications of the principles studied. God's word is written so souls
may please God and have eternal life. Please study it with the respect and devotion it deserves!
For whatever good this material achieves, to God be the glory.
