 A Book That's Helped Millions Discover The Creator! May 10, 2000
20 out of 23 found this review helpful
I encourage all of you that have heard about Halley's Bible Handbook to check out the new 25th edition - Halley's Bible Handbook with the New International Version (also available on Amazon.com). I am the great granddaughter of the author, Henry H. Halley, and the current president of Halley's Bible Handbook, Inc. The new edition has updated archaeology as well as all new maps, photographs and illustrations. My husband and I, both born-again believers, had the blessed opportunity to be involved in the revision process. We have tried to addressed areas of concern in the prior edition and we encourage you to check out the completely revised commentary on Revelation.
 Halley's Bible Handbook January 27, 2000
0 out of 26 found this review helpful
A good beginning handbook for the novice, Halley will give all students of Christianity a good, basic overview of the Bible's sixty-six books. His synopsis of what each book is about are especially useful. The only reason I don't rate the book higher is Halley's fundamentalist position permeates much of the book, leaving no doubt about his stance on every position. Halley is a traditionalist of the first order who maintains each book was written by the person whom it is credited to, and he attacks "modern scholars", whom he accuses of trying to destroy the Bible through modern criticism, at every turn. In this respect, much of his "scholarship" suffers from a lack of objectivity or, apparently, historical and archeological fact. Of course, Halley is a product of the 1920's (when he first began writing the book) and his world outlook reflects that. He is also vehemently anti-Catholic and anti-Muslim, considering both belief systems a part of the curses poured forth in the Book of Revelations. Like I said, Halley is a good place to start, but not a very good place to finish. I would recommend it only as a first step.
Essential Starting Point for Serious Biblical Students December 22, 1999

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.

Clear, Concise, Very Understandable January 7, 1999

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.
