Lectio divina is latin for divine reading or like holy reading. It's a way the christians prayed.

'Lectio divina'

Lectio Divina is the ancient monastic art of praying with the Bible. You start reading slowly and meditatively, and talk to God about what you're reading. In doing this, you are trying to draw out of the reading the meaning, and how it applies to your life. It is the very opposite of speed-reading. I know people who have been using a book of the Bible for Lectio, and they may be in the same book for months. Bottom line? It is used to pray to God. See links below.

Lectio Divina is a traditional Benedictine practice of scriptural reading, meditation and prayer intended to promote communion with God and to increase the knowledge of God's Word.

Studying the Bible may involve meditation and prayer but generally Bible study involves some helps such as a concordance, a commentary or dictionary or possibly other people.
