Christian author and editor Bart Tesoriero offers three editing best practice tips for Christian and faith-based writing. First, when quoting scripture it's important to understand which version is being used, as this can impact how it's treated and cited. Second, be consistent with your treatment of pronouns. This may be dictated by the specific denomination associated with the work. Third, when citing a book of the Bible do not italicize the copy. Tesoriero also points out that extra approval steps in the editing process may be necessary, such as an imprimatur, which is an official authorization from the Roman Catholic Church to publish a book.
Thank you for the tips. It's good to keep in mind, as both MS Word and Grammarly often flag my capitalization when referring to the Lord. I'm curious—do you write "The Lord" or "the Lord" in your work? Additionally, I capitalize "Scripture" but do not usually capitalize the article when referring to "The Scripture."
Thank You for your advice on how the Catholic church accepts books. I was brought up Catholic and now speak in tongues.
Thank you for sharing that advice.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the book writing
Thank you for your concise reference to the capitalization of pronouns giving honor and distinguishing reference. In addition, thank you for clarification of referencing particular versions of particular Bibles; I have many Bible versions, my favorite go to Bible is the New American Standard Bible. I attended Catholic School from 1st through 6th grade and Catechism until 12th grade. Much of my writing style is a reflection of my early Catholic education.
