A GROUP STUDY GUIDE FOR SEARCHING FOR THE PATTERN BY JOHN MARK HICKS Searching for the Pattern describes John Mark Hicks's journey from reading the Bible through the lens of a blueprint hermeneutic to reading the Bible with a theological hermeneutic. This book provides a guide for studying and discussing John Mark's book in a Bible class, small group, or another group setting. There are eight lessons (easily expandable to twelve), each one including a key biblical text, a focus for the lesson, a teaching outline, discussion questions, and handouts for the class. This guide is designed for Bible class teachers and small group leaders to use as a way to facilitate discussion of the key ideas and biblical texts that mark the difference between a blueprint and a theological way of reading the Bible. Leaders will need to read Searching for the Pattern and use its presentation of the material to ground the discussion.
