4.0 out of 5 stars A solid Bible reference for the casual Bible student., March 4, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Eerdmans Handbook to the Bible (Paperback)
This volume is a fine resource for the reader who wishes to delve a bit deeper into Biblical study, but feels intimidated by the commentaries published specifically for use by pastors and theologians. It's an easy read--two words one seldom associates with a reference book--beautifully illustrated, with plenty of background information to give the biblically challenged a flavor for the times in which the Bible was written. I have recommended this volume and its companion, Eerdmans Handbook to the History of Christianity, since their initial release. I continue to do so, especially with this more affordable paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great reference tool!, March 9, 2002
By Michael Freeman (Blanchard, OK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great tool to any serious or even casual student of the Bible. It is full of full-color photos of myriad items of interest, maps, charts, and historical excerpts of Biblical figures.

The contents include photos of sites in modern day Israel, photos of archaelogical sites such as digs at Ur, a reconstruction of what the Tabernacle might have looked like, a diagram of Jerusalem, and much, much more. With over 600 pages, it is a very interesting book, whether you're reading it in detail, or just thumbing through it!
