Halley's Bible Handbook [Large Print] [Hardcover]

Henry H. Halley (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 24, 1993

Halley's Bible Handbook was born out of Henry H. Halley's conviction that everyone ought to read the Bible daily. From its first edition, a small give-away booklet of 16 pages, it has grown into a 864-page 'almanac' of biblical information, used regularly by hundreds of thousands of laymen, teachers, and ministers. Halley's Bible handbook contains more biblical information than any other book its size. It has been a continuous best-seller through the years and has sold more than five million copies in many languages. On April 28, 1961, the GUTENBERG AWARD was presented to Dr. Henry H. Halley by the Chicago Bible Society. The award reads in part: 'Throughout the years, Halley's Bible Handbook, in one edition after another, has aided the sincere Bible student to find his way more deeply into the blessed and saving knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.'

This review is from: Halley's Bible Handbook: An Abbreviated Bible Commentary (Bible Handbook Series) (Hardcover)

I have spent alot of time reading Halley's Bible Handbook. It has helped me get an overview of any book of the Bible I am reading. If you want to know the following about any book of the Bible ie... who wrote it, why was it written, to whom was it written, when it was written, the times and circumstances surrounding the writing and a general summary of the book then Halley's Bible Handbook is the one for you.

This review is from: Halley's Bible Handbook: An Abbreviated Bible Commentary (Bible Handbook Series) (Hardcover)

Halley's Bible Handbook is the essential starting point for any Christian desiring to understand Scripture in its cultural context. Halley has done a superb study of maps and archeological findings to complement the deep analysis of theology.

This is essential reading for any Christian apologist and is a perfect introduction to further studies into apologetics.
