Handling the Word of God : Interpreting Scripture for Preaching
Handling the Word of God: Interpreting Scripture for Preaching by Monique Ross is a practical, theologically grounded resource for ministers, teachers, and students of Scripture who want to preach with greater accuracy and integrity.
The book begins with the inner life of the preacher — covering spiritual formation, the holistic development of spirit, soul, and body, and why emotional health and private devotion matter before any public ministry begins. From there, it moves into the interpretive tools: how to read a biblical text in its historical and literary context, how to identify timeless theological principles, how to understand biblical genres, and how to apply Scripture faithfully to contemporary life.
It's designed to equip, not just inspire — for anyone serious about handling the Word of God responsibly.
