Summary: A must for any Bible Library
Comment: 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.

Summary: Halley's Bible Handbook
Comment: 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.

Summary: A Good Place to Begin
Comment: 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).
