The collaboration of David S. Dockery (President of Union University, Jackson, Tennessee) and George H. Guthrie (Benjamin W. Perry Professor of Bible and Chairman of the Department of Christian Studies, Union University, Jackson, Tennessee), The Holman Guide To Interpreting The Bible sets forth the basics of interpreting, applying, and communication the Word of God in teaching and preaching. Enhanced with a mentoring session with the authors, the reader is shown the steps to interpretation, applying it to Philippians 2:5-1. Utilizing the format of a chart, the authors have summarized the steps to interpretation and presentation that will prove a useful and practical template for preparing any biblically based lesson or sermon. The Holman Guide To Interpreting The Bible is a welcome and highly recommended "how to" reading -- especially for anyone charged with the responsibility for instructing a Sunday School class or addressing a Christian congregation.

This book has been a tremendous help in learning more on how to study and prepare for teaching. We also used it as a resource for teaching a class on this exact subject matter, and saving money to purchase 10 books is always a plus..
