The Old Testament and the Gospels have three levels of interpretation: historical, Christological, and prophetic.

These study guides, part of a set from noted Bible scholar, John MacArthur, take readers on a journey through biblical texts to discover what lies beneath the surface, focusing on meaning and context, and then reflecting on the explored passage or concept. With probing questions that guide the reader toward application, as well as ample space for journaling, The MacArthur Bible Studies are invaluable tools for Bible students of all ages. This work on Second Timothy is part of a New Testament commentary series which has as its objective explaining and applying Scripture, focusing on the major doctrines, and how they relate to the whole of the Bible. This passage-by-passage study of the Epistle of 2 Timothy follows John MacArthur's orientation toward explanation and exposition rather than overly-academic concentration on linguistics, theology, or homiletics.

Another would be to let the church you like tell you what the Scriptures mean without question and assume all the others must be wrong.
