There are a lot of Bible study methods available online and in print but it isn't so easy to find a simple Bible study method that does not require extra materials and access to resources beyond your Bible. This Bible study method was born out of necessity - how to help someone with no background or preexisting knowledge of the Bible, study it in a meaningful way without access to additional resources and materials.
When choosing a method for studying your Bible, your goal or motivation is important to consider. You can always read the Bible just to know what it says, which is often what happens when people tackle intense Bible-reading plans that require you to read multiple chapters a day. However, at some point in your faith journey, the goal should shift and be to go deeper than just "head knowledge" and, instead, chew on it and take it into yourself and digest it, like food.
That is why this Bible study method is organized around the acrostic E.A.T. It is meant to encourage every believer to learn how to EAT their Bible because, as Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4)
