Halley's Bible Handbook contains more biblical information than any other book of its size. It has been a continuous best-seller through the years and has sold more than five million copies in many languages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Starting Point for Serious Biblical Students, December 22, 1999

By	Jamie Jeffords (South Carolina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, Concise, Very Understandable, January 7, 1999

By A Customer

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.
