Participatory Study Series

Geoffrey Lentz and Henry Neufeld, a pastor and a teacher team up in Learning and Living Scripture to present the Participatory Bible Study Method, an approach to Bible study that is rooted in the conviction that God can and will speak to us in scripture.

They bring together their different experiences and perspectives to present this method of study in a practical, usable way.

There are three key elements to this study:

1. The integration of prayer and study
2. Serious questioning and research that is nonetheless within reach of the non-scholar
3. Study in community with both witness and accountability through sharing

In this guide you will learn to integrate prayer and scripture reading while also being faithful to the historical meaning of the text and its use throughout history by the community of faith. This method is not just about study and learning facts; it's about letting the God who gave scripture live in and through you, as you learn and share.

Lentz, Geoffrey D

Geoffrey D. Lentz is a native of Pensacola, Florida and serves as the pastor of First United Methodist Church of Port St Joe in Port St. Joe, FL. With a B.A. degree in Psychology from the University of West Florida and a Master of Divinity from Duke University, Rev. Lentz combined his knowledge of ancient church history with creative and innovative worship during his appointment at First United Methodist in Pensacola, FL. to create the church's fourth Sunday morning service called ICON. This cutting edge, tradition rich, and Christ centered style of worship is rapidly becoming the example for the future of Christian worship.

Geoffrey and his wife, Elizabeth (Liz) live in Florida with their two children, Luke and Eliza. Geoffrey enjoys the outdoors, reading, music, and Duke University Basketball.
