Vern S. Poythress, Reading the Word of God in the Presence of God (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2016).Every time we read the Bible, we’re reading in the presence of God. How should this incredible truth shape how we read?

This handbook outlines distinct steps for practicing faithful biblical interpretation by focusing on our fellowship with the God who speaks to us through his Word.Author
