A student uses several passages about healing but never reads their surrounding chapters or other biblical topics. Which concern from the source most directly applies?

### Why this is right The source allows focused studies but cautions that spending all one’s study time on favorite subjects can neglect other parts of Scripture. It also instructs readers to examine passages rather than collect isolated verses. ### The concept A topic may appear in passages that do not use the topic’s familiar English word, so research must be broad and contextual. A student should examine how each text uses its language and how the wider biblical witness bears on the theme. This prevents a chain of references from becoming a substitute for interpretation. ### The other options - **A. The student is using too many translations**: The source recommends comparing translations as one possible aid. - **C. The student has confused the New Testament with the Old Testament**: Nothing in the scenario indicates that error. - **D. The student has used a biographical method**: That method studies a biblical person’s life, not a theme such as healing. ### Remember A topic list is a research aid, not a complete interpretation.
