 Gets Mt. Ararat wrong May 8, 2006
3 out of 16 found this review helpful
Halley uses 17,000 ft. high Mt. Ararat in eastern Turkey as Noah's Ark's final resting place when the Bible says mountains of ararat in the book of Genesis. Also, old traditions attribute the Ararat range to a different area than where Mt. Ararat (formerly Mt. Masis) is located.
On other points he talks about humankind seemingly only 6,000 years old (as most Biblical versions claim if generations are taken literally in Genesis). Well, like another book written in the early 1960's (The Genesis Flood) this book is out of date badly on the age of humankind as DNA studies have since totally proven human life is much older than the few thousand years these books claim. Unlike the Genesis Flood this book seems to reflect the author's real genuine beliefs.

 Essential for Bible Study, although Dated February 7, 2006

First, the few critiques- the historic quotes from famous men on the significance of the Bible contain several which have been shown to be spurious (esp the one attributed to George Washington); the archaeological supports for the Bible are debatable & dated; and the sections on Church History & The Book of Revelation are heavily Protestant, mildly anti-Catholic
(not at Chick or Hislop level) & totally neglects Eastern Orthodoxy.
That said, I prefer it to the NIV updating because an honest Church History has to take a few whacks at Roman Catholicism, and the Revelation commentary blends historical, idealist and futurist views, which I regard as a much fuller perspective than the heavily futurist one in the NIV version. I may get the NIV one to supplement my original Halley's, but I'll always go to the original Halley's in my Bible studies.
Btw, I totally don't know what the racism charge is about.
