The New Unger's Bible Handbook is a wonderful resource tool. It is user friendly but also gives the more experienced Bible scholar indepth information and stimulating insights.
I am more than pleased with my purchase and will probably add this to my gift giving list for Christmas.

The UBH is fairly informative, and I found the info on the early church and canon formation very helpful. However the theological beliefs of the author creep in a lot. In Revelation, for instance, he only treats the futurist view of interpretation as worthwhile, while dismissing the other views without any real evidence against them. I have found this book was very useful when I was a younger Christian, but now it basically sits on the shelf. I think the NIV Study Bible's notes and package are the better way to go.

Bought one of these for my Father for Father's day(He is a Pastor) he loved it. I bought one for myself also and it is a good study book.

My mom had been talking about this Handbook ever since someone recommended it to her. She asked me to find it online since in the store they wanted almost $40. The price was great on Amazon so i brought it for her and she loves it. Everyone she shows it to loves it and wants it for themselves. She finds it to be extremely helpful.

While I have not personally had the chance to examine the book myself, I gave this to my father, a retired minister, to review and he and my mom now wish to purchase a new one for themselves as well. He has been relying on his old, outdated Unger's handbook for many years now.

For a guided journey through the greatest Book ever compiled,the BIBLE, "The New Unger's Bible Handbok is your choice. Learning about the history of the lands, lives, and times reflected on the pages in Unger's Handbook will provide greater insight into "thinking about these things" and discovering where the the good way is, to walk in it.

The New Ungers Bible Handbook is an easy to use resource book for Bible study. It has commentary on all 66 books of the Bible along with maps, photographs, diagrams and historical information. This book has helped me to grow in my knowledge and understanding of God's Word. It is a great all in one reference book.

I used the old Unger's Bible Handbook for many years, in fact it was falling apart, bought this as a replacement, it is an improvement on an excellent fast resource for Bible study.

This is the best example of the type of reference work that I could locate. I purchased it at retail price because it was readily available at that time. It has proven somewhat valuable in my research of the scriptures by its coverage of the archaeology and culture of its time.

I have been looking for a good bible handbook since I picked up the bible. New Unger's is for the person that wants the history side and archaeological side of the text. I personally wasn't aware that it would go into such detail. The book goes through each book of the bible almost verse by verse. Mr. Unger describes the meaning of the verse or the archaeological side of it. It is full of pictures, maps, and graphs. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because if you have a study bible like the Quest Study Bible which I recommend it goes through it enough for me. But if you like graphs, maps, and pictures this is for you. I think that I wont pick it up off my shelf once I'm done with it unless I want to see some picture of the place I'm reading about or if I want to lend it to a friend that is into the archaeological side of the bible.
