This book offers a lot to someone wanting to know any background of a book of the Bible - and a little more! Great wording and the organization of the information makes it easier to look things up. Loved it!

The only Bible hand book you'll ever need. I'd recommend this to anyone who seriouly wants to learn Biblical History, or any one who loves study in depth God's Word. This book will help you really learn and study the Holy Bible. Combine this with a Chorndance and a Study Bible and you'll be studying until the cows come home. Once you start reading and useing this Handbook you WILL NOT STOP, it is that Good!
Best companion Bible Study guide April 2, 2002
17 out of 18 found this review helpful
A friend gave me this book for the first time 30 years ago when I was starting my Biblical quest for truth. I found it to be the most helpful, concise and comprehensive guide I have ever used. Definitely fundamentalist, it is not for those who do not accept that the Bible was written under God's instructions. I have given many copies of this book to Christian friends and relatives and will continue to do so.
 More on Halley's views in this book. January 3, 2002

Yes, Mr. Halley was something of a white Christian supremacist (but back in the 1920's so were a lot of Americans). He does appear in his handbook to use the good book to advocate the view of Japhetites (Aryans) being meant to conquer the earth and rule over Hamites (blacks) and Semites (Jewish people).Mr. Halley was very wrong to do this but then again a lot of people used to feel this very same way. And he was a young earth creationist. This was rare for a 1920's Christian, as in the 1920's Old Earth Creationsm was the way of the day for people who took the Bible so literally. However, in his handbook Mr. Halley shows that, while indeed an advocate for young humankind, he believed in a regional flood of Noah rather a worldwide one (unlike most YEC's). This is a sanity saving grace (no pun intended) on the author's part. Mr. Halley also discusses the possibility of the six day creation period being 6 long geogical eras of time. In short, his racial views are more offensive than his creationist ones (though the latter are sometimes still a bit ridiculuos looking too).
 A difficult to read load of bias October 21, 2001
2 out of 13 found this review helpful
Although the information presented in the book is very good, I found the author's religious bias a bit wearing and the layout of the book difficult to follow. It seemed a bit unorganized and haphazardly thrown together. I would be glad to trade it for something else.
