1001 Inductive Bible study methods ... but not with a couple of features I want

While I consider the "inductive" in the name "inductive Bible study" to be misleading -- don't bother to try to convince me that it is accurate, I will admit that it is a reaction to an abuse of the "deductive" method starting with things other than scripture. I will also agree that what goes by the name of "inductive Bible study" is a foundational method of reading scripture although I tend to use it under the name of "close reading" as it is called in literary criticism. OIA, SOAP, WORD, DISCOVERY, GRASPS, ACTS, FOCUS, WISE-UP, SPECK, PRAY, REAP, SOAPS, CROSS, COAT, GROW, SPACE, FIRE, SPACE, PEACE, FLAME ... yes, I have been looking ...

Do you know of a version that specifically works on teaching you to broaden what you observe?
Do you know of a version that specifically works on identifying what you read into the text that is not actually there? (This is the most common exegetical error I see.)

And just for fun, do you know any additional inductive Bible study methods known by an acronym? I was just starting to have fun.

Not sure if this is really what you are looking for. But I studied Inductive Bible at Asbury Theological Seminary under Dr David Bauer and he was phenomenal at seeing things in the text that I didn't see, but which I could see after he pointed them out. https://www.logos.com/product/37665/inductive-bible-study-a-comprehensive-guide-to-the-practice-of-hermeneutics I highly recommend this resource (I have the paper version).

This book Inductive Bible Study: Observation, Interpretation, and Application through the Lenses of History, Literature, and Theology by Richard Fuhr and Andreas Kostenberger is good. https://www.amazon.com/Inductive-Bible-Study-Observation-Interpretation/dp/1433684144 The authors wrote this timely book to provide an academically sound Bible study method that incorporates proper and fundamentally grounded hermeneutics. The foundation of this method is the hermeneutic triad presented in Kostenberger’s book, Invitation to Biblical Interpretation: Exploring the Hermeneutical Triad of History, Literature, and Theology.https://www.amazon.com/Invitation-Biblical-Interpretation-Hermeneutical-Theological/dp/082543047X

Thank you, Paul and Christian. Those are exactly the sort of thing I am looking for. And thanks KS4J for the Logos links.
