From the Back Cover
Halley's Bible Handbook was born out of the conviction of Henry H. Halley that everyone ought to read the Bible daily. From its first edition, a small give-away booklet of 16 pages, it has grown into an 864-page "almanac" of biblical information, used regularly by hundreds of thousands of laymen, teachers, and ministers. Halley's Bible Handbook contains more biblical information than any other book of its size. It has been a continuous best-seller through the years and has sold more than five million copies in many languages.

About the Author
Dr. Henry H. Halley was a well-respected author, minister, and Bible lecturer, dedicating his life to spreading his passion for Bible study and memorization. The original "Halley's Bible Handbook" grew from small pamphlets about the Bible that he gave away to encourage churches and individuals in Bible study.

Essential Starting Point for Serious Biblical Students
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.
