 Good but not deep enough October 12, 2005
No real complaints, this is a handy reference as other reviewers have pointed out. However I can't give it five stars because for me it just isn't deep enough. I find using a study Bible more useful for this type of overview, and there is a plethora of reference material available for deeper studies. Well done and useful, but just does not fill a need for me personally.

Great Bible Study Help!!!!! August 26, 2005
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I love the way Halley's Bible Hand book starts off with a wonderful quote "The Bible is the most priceless possession of the human race," and I would whole heartily agree. Halley also has great quotes from D. L. moody, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Patrick Henry, and many many others, all great stuff.
Halley called his hand book "a handy brief manual...for the average Bible reader," and it is also just as handy for the theologian. The hand book is easy to read it is not burdened down with difficult nomenclature, so anyone can get a lot from it.
The handbook contains a bible chapter by chapter notes for the whole text, sometimes its verse by verse and sometimes chapter's on the same subject are group, but it overall is pretty comprehensive and can help one understand any difficulties they are having with the biblical text. There are also very good sections on archeological discoveries that have reference to the Bible and also a great section on Church History, that is worth the price alone.
I highly recommend this as a great bible study help.
A Good Place to Begin April 14, 2004

This was one of the first books I obtained when I became a Christian as a teen-ager many years ago. It was the only real "hand-book" that was available. It is a great place to start.It has its short-comings like every work, but it also has a wealth of information. The positive aspects of the work far outweigh the negative (unless you have your own ax to grind).
A must for any Bible Library March 9, 2004

Halley's Bible Handbook is a great starting place to build your Bible Library. This book, though not concise, is fairly comprehensive and gives a good overview of the various areas of scripture.It is simply a handbook, not an encyclopedia or dictionary. Keep it handy as you study the scriptures for the first time or if you want a clue of the issues behind certain times and happenings. The good point of this work it is not influenced much by Halley's beliefs and tends to be straightforward information that will help you build a broadbased foundation to your studies.
