This is so great!!! Now I can spend more time studying rather than trying to create key word symbols.
Need help printing on one page. It is cutting off at the bottom and I can’t figure out how to do it. I did change my bottom margin. by the way these are great!!
Thank you so much for posting this. This helped me immensely!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Thank you for making this available. It was taking us too much time to come up with symbols–this is a blessing.
Hi Kari: Thank you so much for doing this it will make my life so much easier. I also need help with printing…cutting off at the top & bottom
This obviously took a lot of time and thought. Thanks for sharing!!
For those with printing challenges, the originals appear to be on legal size paper so you can try changing your print settings and use that size paper.
An option for regular 8X11 paper, go to “print preview” on the file menu. Click on “shrink to fit”. From that drop down menu, I chose “custom” which gave me another box where I could fill in a percentage. I used “47″ and “48″. Press enter. You can drag to adjust the margins from here if you wish. Click on the printer icon to print the page you see in the preview window. The font was still large enough to be easily legible. Hope this helps.
I struggle with filling in the Inductive Bible Study At a Glance Charts. Can anyone who has experience with filling in the Segment Divisions assist me. I have bought nearly all of Kay Arthur’s Inductive Study Series( only have Ezekiel and Romans still to purchase) yet cannot find any lessons in any of her books written on how to approach and complete segment divisions. How does she fill in the segment divisions on the chart? I am currently busy with the book of 1 john.

If printing is a problem, try going to print preview, changing the size from (scale to fit) to (custom) and make it either 40 or 45%. Worked for me. These look very helpful!
I do get stuck, thank you very much for the effort and blessing!
Mike, I’m sorry for not responding sooner to your question about segment divisions. For some reason, I have not been getting notice about comments to this page so I just saw all of these! Segment divisions baffle a lot of people so don’t feel like it’s just you. It took me years to really understand segment divisions. Most of my students wrestle with doing them. First, let me recommend “How to Study Your Bible” by Kay Arthur (can be found in Precept Camden’s store by clicking on PRECEPT CAMDEN STORE in the right sidebar). There should be a section on segment divisions in that book. Second, you have inspired me to write a post on this process of coming up with segment divisions – so be looking for that in the near future!
Thank you very much! I am slightly visually impaired, so in addition to a print out, I wanted to get the pages into PDF format. I used a freeware converter (BullZip) that allows me to “print” to PDF file format from my MS Word. When I’m working in Logos instead of on paper, I can open the PDF file and increase the size so they mark-ups are easier for me to see.
Your work is greatly appreciated! See you in “Behold, Jesus is Coming” in a week or so, Lord willing!
Hi, I’m still having issues with printing. When I choose ‘custom’ it defaults to 100%. I’ve changed it to 48, but of course that makes it smaller. Is it possible to get a copy of the actual document?
Thanks,
Jennifer
Jennifer, I’m not sure why you are having problems. It must be a setting on your computer or printer. Could you try asking a friend to print them out for you? If that doesn’t work, then email me at preceptcamden@gmail.com and send me your snail mail address and I will mail hard copies to you.
This is great. Thank you so much for posting this. I am just getting started with the inductive method and having the symbols makes it much easier. I appreciate you helping others in their study of God’s Word.
Wow! I am so thankful to have run across this site! I begin teaching my first inductive study tonight. I was looking for examples of symbols to give my students, and WAHLAH! Thank you so much. I will be back over & over again.
i knew there was something out there that had more keywords i can use and understand thanks again
I can’t tell you how much this means to me to have consistency with my markings. Just finished my first Precept (now starting second)…I have been overwhelmed but immensly blessed. I love having this to get me past my own limitations. Bless you for sharing!!!!
Right in the middle of my first precept, and I decided to google “precept key word symbols” because I got to “decree” – you were first on the list! These are awesome! Just wish I would’ve thought to search BEFORE I started…because now I want to go back and change some but it’s too late:( Thanks for doing this!
Does anyone have a symbol for Father, as in God the Father?
When referring to God, I mark all synonyms, including Father, the same: with a purple triangle colored in yellow.
I am fairly new to Precepts. Thank you for posting the symbols!
I had no problem printing most of the pages, but the pages for C-D, E-G, H-K came out
very blurry and totally illegible. I tried copying the images both to Publisher and to Word but neither worked. All the other pages printed out very clearly and are very helpful.
Is there anything you can suggest?
Thank you!
Carol Borreson
Hey Precept Camden – where have you been all my life? LOL! This is totally great. I even suggested to Precept that they need to do something like this!
I am doing a Bible study workshop and would like to provide my participants copies of these. Of course I will show them your website and give credit. I am not charging for this workshop.
Thanks,

Shelly, So glad you found helpful resources at preceptcamden.com! Feel free to share the Key Word Symbol pages with your class. And thank you for giving credit. That’s all I ask in return for the use of them. God bless!
A question for other posters on this site…has anyone given much thought to doing an A-Z pocket guide book on Inductive Bible Study Symbols like what is on this site( it could be like an A-Z book of Inductive Bible Study Symbols published and distributed through Precept International to students worldwide, with links to websites that provide ideas and handdrawn symbols as well as software that is provided for designing one’s own symbols…it could also include a section on interpreting difficult segment divisions with sample pages from actual classes)
Mike Dellar
No, and that is way beyond my expertise but I would applaud and USE such an animal if it existed. Thanks for the thought, I hope someone takes it and runs with it. Marie
Does anyone have anything like this for key words in the Leviticus study?
Refering to my earlier post on Segment Divisions in the Inductive Study Process….This is not a critisism, just an observation… I have Kay’s Books on How to Study the Bible as well as her workbook… Now for my questions:
1. Why is only one sample given (i.e The Book of John)?
2. Where can I find a useful on- line line link to help me with transcribing Segment Divisions to my Inductive Study Bible
3. When is Kay Arthur going to publish a workbook on Interpreting and Filling in Segment Divisions( please do not include her current The New How to Study Your Bible Workbook- I already have it and whilst it is helpful, not enough sample examples are given on Segment Division, other than the book of John if I am correct)
4.Why are there rectangular blocks next to the chapter themes( what is entered here?) and then further down longer rectangular blocks below?( what is entered here?)
Can someone who has experience or even Kay Arthur please post some filled in and fully completed AT A GLANCE Segment Division Charts to Sample here on this site… I am sure all would benefit and a follow up workbook published on this difficult to do section of The At A GLANCE Worksheet would greatly help
Mike Dellar
The answer to my prayers(read my post above):
Just found a very useful book on doing Inductive Bible Study Segment Divisions, whilst searching the web.It is entitled : Anaylitical Bible Study Charts by Jentzen L. Irving. It can be bought from Amazon.com at $34.95. I would also look out for Independant Bible Study by the same author. Both books come highly recommended.
Mike Dellar
P.S. Keep up the good work Precept Camden. You are blessing others with this site
Thanks to whoever published this. Now I can focus more time in the Word rather than getting bogged down coming up with a symbol. I wish I had had this years ago when I first started Inductive Bible Study.
Suzanne, you are very welcome! I’m glad that you found the Key Word Symbol sheets helpful. Creating them was quite tedious since I did all of the symbols by hand, but people from all over the world have accessed them so it was worth it!
Thanks for this! One question: How do you mark references to predestination and the elect?
I don’t believe I have a symbol yet for “elect.” If I come up with one, I’ll let you know!
No problem, thanks for the reply! I’m doing the Kay Arthur Ephesians study at the moment, and she said that I can mark predestination and the elect (or “chosen”) if I want, but she didn’t say how to mark them. I might just leave them unmarked for now.
This is so helpful!! Thanks so much!
Mike, I’m glad you found the book by Irving L. Jensen. I’m pretty sure that is who inspired Kay Arthur to start studying inductively. I have heard her mention him on more than one occasion. Let me know if you find that book helpful. I have many students struggle with segment divisions and I’d like to be able to recommend it if it would help them understand. Blessings!
Bless you for doing this and for sharing. Can’t wait to start a new study with these tools.
This is fantastic…I am going to share this website with others that I know that want to do inductive study but cannot because of child care timing or whatever the reason….Online willl be awesome for them…..Thanks for your obedience…And most assuredly thanks for your posting of the key word symbols….May you be blessed in allll that you do….
I wanted to know if it is okay to post you on my facebook Bblessed Freddye page?

My life verse: Phillipians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
I am always glad for people to use and share my Key Word Symbol pages as long as you link back to preceptcamden.com and don’t post the pages without proper credit. Thank you and enjoy!
THANK YOU!! I can’t tell you what a relief it is to come across your key word symbols. I am just now going to start studying the bible through the Inductive bible study approach. I am really excited about it. When I went to start, I was stumped as to how I would make my symbols. You have saved me countless hours of laboring over making my own Key Word Symbols. Again, I must say thank you!! I look forward to joining your online bible studies through the Inductive Bible Study method. I wish I could have found your site when you started the book of Philippians. It is my favorite book in the bible. OK, I am starting to ramble…
Thank you so much, key word symbols are a blessing. It is great you are still online as we have newbies to our Precept class.
Awesome! Thanks so much for this resource!!!
Hi- the watermarks obscure a half dozen or so of the symbols unless there is a different way to print without the watermarks? I bet that the target audience (people studying the Bible) are generally honest enough not to remove your attribution if you put it in a header or footer, or position the watermark so that it does not spoil your otherwise very nice artwork.
Chas, I wish you were right. However, I’ve had MANY instances where people have taken my hard work and put it on their own website without linking back here. Someone even cropped every single symbol and put it on her site. Most of the time, people just aren’t aware of “blog etiquette” which says to always link back to the source. I apologize if the watermarks are inconvenient. I did look at each page and it looks to me like you can see through the mark to every symbol. I didn’t see any that were obscured so that they couldn’t be seen. However, I will definitely take your comments into consideration and see if perhaps the watermark could be lightened even more. Thank you for visiting Precept Camden!
Thanks for sharing this list. It has been very helpful! And, you have put a lot a work into relieving me from having to skip this part of the homework!
Thanks again.
Antonette, I’m so glad you’ve found them helpful. And it’s a blessing to know that the Key Word Symbol sheets have helped you complete your homework! Just remember – what symbol you use isn’t as important as digging out the truth found in God’s Word. Blessings!
I love your Key Word Symbol chart and I am afraid you are right about having to mark it in such a way to show that ii is in fact, your own creative work. You do offer your chart free of charge which is a huge blessing to so many of us who need the symbols and lack the time, creativity, and organization to put one together for ourselves. I believe if you took all markings away, your Key Word Symbol chart would go viral on the net in 2 hours. lol All I know, is that when tasked with having to make symbols for my bible study I spent more time worrying about making the symbols than studying The Word! So thankful I am to be allowed to use your Key Word Symbols with or without watermark, I mean no offense to any person by the posting of my comments.
You have no idea how often I refer back to these pages, thank you!
Thank you so much!!!
One of the ladies in the 1 Peter class I led found this site! What was so cool was she was brand new to Precept and she was able to find these! She used to work for Microsoft so she knew her way around computers!
Thank you for making marking just a little easier. For I know I want to spend most of my time studying, not figuring out what color or color combination do I use this time.
Thank you, kindly! I am so happy to find this! God bless you all!
perfect for those that are not creative. Lots of hard work put in by those from Camden!
Kudos to Kari on this key word list. I am awed by the labor of love you put forth on this amazing list. As a leader of Precepts I had been helping my students with colors and symbols but now this will make it so much easier on me in helping them. Thank you so much Kari.
I have been enjoying using your symbols for a few weeks now, and I had downloaded them onto my iPad as a single pdf. After backing up, they were not save, so I went to download them again. I don’t seem to have the option of downloading them together, but only as separate pages. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks
RBC Scotland, sorry that you have to download as separate pages, but that is how they were created. Clicking on each picture should allow you to download each page. I apologize if that’s inconvenient for you, but because of the way I created the pages themselves, there isn’t really another way to do it. Hope you can use them anyway. Blessings.
Well, that’s disappointing. I had enjoyed using your symbols, but eight separate pdfs would not be very user friendly. Do you mind if I ask why you made the change?
I haven’t made any changes. This is the way they have always been. It seems that perhaps it could be an issue on your end. I have other iPad users who say when they click on one, they all download. Would it help you if I emailed them to you? If so, send me your email address at preceptcamden@gmail.com.
Thank you so much for this. I was worried the watermark would obscure too much but was able to make out what I needed to. I’m looking for two symbols: 1) a symbol to use for “spirit,” as in a person’s spirit, not the Holy Spirit (there is a verse where I’d like to differentiate the two); and 2) a symbol for “man” used as “mankind;” there is a symbol for “man,” as in when the gender indicates a male person – but “mankind” is a different concept.
I love this! Thank you. I do have one to add. I needed one for Unity. So, like wedding rings that are overlapped, much like you would see on wedding invitations resembling the bridegroom and his brides rings. I used purple. I also love to have everything with me when I go to church, so I took the symbols from your listing and created a small, single page that fits into my bible. So many people have asked me where I got this. I told them to go to your website and print off the symbols pages and use those to create one. I also told them to always redirect this back to Camden Precepts. Thank you for doing this for your fellow believers in Christ.
This has been a tremendous help to me. I started making a list this morning of symbols so all of my Precept Studies would have the same symbols and also I wanted to transfer all of my studies with symbols to my Precept Bible. I have been doing Precepts for approximately 20 years so I have quite a task ahead of me. Thank you so much and God bless Gloria Wheeler
