Customer Reviews
Good introductory overview, easy to follow
This book is a good general help for those interested in learning more about the bible. It is full of colorful illustrations and charts and hits the highlights of the bible without overwhelming the reader. The handbook has been created by a wide scope of scholars and is therefore even handed in its representations and information, though admittantly sometimes a bit dry. It provides background information on the bible, historical information, and commentary on each section of the bible. Overall, a solid overview and a good reference for the beginner or intermediate student of the bible.
Excellent Resource
This book is a great resource for getting a "bigger picture" understanding of GOD's word. I used this book when I taught a Bible study. The only reason I gave it four stars is because it is, at times, brief. However, it is great to new believers who want to gain a bigger understanding of the Bible.
Solid information in simple,clear and straight way!
The handbook is clearly evanglism scholar's standpoint.
Easy to read!
Solid information but not dry!
like a little libaray (introdution, commentary, explanation, bible background...etc.)
All everythings here are short but good enough and readable for beginner.
The references in here is the best books of evanglism scholar, they provide very good further study if the user want deeper information.
Compare other exist handbooks this sure are one of best of them.
