About The Bible: Introduction and Interpretation
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
This unit brings together material on reading and understanding the Bible. Much of it is about the Old Testament. The mind map The Old Testament looks at why these books matter, noting that they make up more than half of the Christian Bible and help readers interpret prophecies about the messiah. Other maps follow people and stories, such as Moses, Joshua and The Story of Jacob and Esau.
Interpretation and method
A second strand deals with how to read a passage. The flashcard deck Global University: Intro to Hermeneutics asks what we must consider before basing a decision on scripture. The quiz Introduction to Bible Interpretation tests the three literary types: narrative, discourse and poetry. For more advanced study there are resources on source criticism, redaction criticism, the historical critical method and typology.
Where to start
- Open The Old Testament mind map for the big picture.
- Take the Introduction to the Bible quiz to see what you already know.
- Move to Introduction to Bible Interpretation and the hermeneutics flashcards.
- Finish with a story-based quiz such as How Much Do You Know About King David? or the Joseph Bible Quiz.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first, then close it and take a quiz on the same topic. Wrong answers show which branch to revisit. The quiz Declaration of Faith, for example, asks about inspiration meaning "breathed by God", which pairs well with the map Meaning of Inspired scriptures. Flashcards then help fix vocabulary such as covenant and canon. Some resources mention GCSE Religious Studies, so school students will find revision-friendly sets too.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to the Bible strand within Religion and theology. Every resource was made by GoConqr users, so styles vary. Pick one that suits your level, try it, and then make a set of your own.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map The Old Testament. It gives a quick overview of why the books matter and how they connect to the wider Bible. Then try the Introduction to the Bible quiz to check what stuck, and move on to interpretation material once the basics feel familiar.
What do the mind maps cover?
There are over 180 mind maps. Many cover Old Testament stories and figures, including Moses, Joshua, Jacob and Esau, and the covenants. Others deal with ideas such as the biblical canon, hermeneutics, redaction criticism, inspired scriptures and the historical critical method.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. If you create a free account, your quiz scores are saved and you can make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Who made these resources?
They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. Over 370 contributors have added material, so you will see different styles, from class revision sets to lecture-based flashcards and notes. Check that a set matches your course before relying on it.
Which levels and exams do they suit?
The mix leans towards school students, with university students and professional candidates also catered for. Some resources mention GCSE Religious Studies. Others are lecture-based, covering topics like hermeneutics and source criticism, so they suit more advanced study.
What if I can't find my topic?
Try a nearby resource first. For example, the notes on Biblical Miracles or the Key Stories and Themes notes may cover what you need. You can also build your own quiz, map or flashcards on the missing topic with a free account.
