Steps in Mining a Biblical Passage

The Christian Bible, with its 66 books, is a little library, encased within one book. Each book of the Bible have chapters, verses, a theme, meaning, and a message. How does one mine these books, chapters, and verses without misrepresenting the author's message to the original audience and secure the message for our time and make present-day applications? Other than figures of speech (see Wolfgang's latest thread), which is only a fraction of the process, what steps should be taken to glean meaning and understanding to "rightly divide the Word"? Any suggestions and/or resources? CM
