Summary: Great Resource
Comment: This book provides a great background for both the Bible in its entirety and for each book of the Bible. It gives a brief introduction with details such as the probable writer for the book, its theme, and important notes to keep in mind while reading the book. Each book summary is then broken down into individual chapter summaries. The book also contains some basic Bible study techniques and maps of locations talked about (i.e.- the location of the seven churches in Revelation). In response to the criticism other reviews have given this book: This book is intended to encourage and supplement Bible reading. It is not intended to provide what the Bible provides nor is it intended as a commentary. Everything is based on facts as opposed to theory/opinion unless otherwise stated. The intention is to point the reader to the Bible. The second important thing to remember is that Halley originally published this book in 1924. It is natural that some of the new criticisms and ideas may not be mentioned. This does not make the author a liar or the book false; it simply means that every criticism and idea mentioned since that time is not worthwhile considering the purpose of this book. One final note: Henry Halley devoted his life to helping others get into God's word, and was known for the large portions of the Bible he had memorized. There is no questioning that he had the credentials to write such a handbook.

Summary: Halley's Bible handbook
Comment: This is a wonderful book. Every Christian should have one in their library. It is very helpful when studying the Bible. I have now ordered the CD-Rom version of this book. I am so glad it has come out in CD-Rom because I am now legalally blind and cannot use it in book form anymore.

Rating: 3
Summary: Less than half of this book should be used.
Comment: I am a free-thinking seeker; i.e. I study the Bible and try to follow Jesus' teachings but am not "officially" a Christian. As such, I am appalled by the narrow-mindedness of the author Halley. He obviously loved the Bible up to a fault. I don't hate him for it, but I sincerely hope that readers will not be influenced by his attitude towards modern scholarship and research. Criticism is important and will not hurt your faith at all, if it is really strong. Welcome it and your understanding of the Bible for what it really is can only deepen.

This book is for beginners, and yet I wouldn't want it to be the first companion-volume to the Bible that you use. If it must be, then just refer to it for its introduction to the Bible and each of its books, the overviews, and the tips on Bible-study. These things are what compel me to give it 3 stars. Ignore most of his comments, especially his harsh condemnation of modern research. This guy was a fundmentalist if not a fanatic, out of touch with modern times.
