Biblical Clarity!
I find this Bible handbook indispensable in enhancing my overall understanding of scriptures. The book is well organized in helping locate scripture passages for specific study and the information greatly clarifies each Biblical passage!

A must for your study time
As you grow in your discipleship then this is a must. Dive in and know the difference of that scripture, the culture and people that are involved. It will open your eyes to another world.

Great for any Bible reader!
This gets down to break the Bible up and explains what’s going on with each book. It’s very handy and I highly recommend it

Great update to a classic bible reference and study book. Much better paper, and updated images with color illustrations.
From the description, I really could not tell how this was different from the “classic” edition of the book. It seemed the content was the same, but this had “color” illustrations. I was not sure what that would look like. The “classic” version that I already have has fairly crude drawings of maps, and some of the black and white photos were printed with such high contrast, that it was hard to make out the details of the images. This deluxe edition is really much better than the classic version. The paper is much more substantial and the photos are mostly new, and the color and exposure are really quite good. The maps have been updated, and a lot of the photos have been replaced with updated versions. Although it is hard to tell from the photo, this book is about an inch larger in the long axis and about 3/4″ longer from side to side. It is also thicker, most likely from the better paper. I have only glanced through to text, and it seems to be mostly about the same (which is fine – this was always a very good reference book). The price difference between the “classic” and the “deluxe” is not prohibitive, and so I would recommend the deluxe version for anyone considering this book. I bought this as a gift, and in the future, would probably only buy the deluxe version.

Halley’s Bible Handbook
I own a 1960’s version of this handbook, but I saw that it has been updated, so I decided to see how it has changed. Wow! I’m in love with this newer version! Color photos, charts, maps, explanations, etc…I am really enjoying reading through it. This book makes a great gift for those who love reading their Bibles, as well as, those new to reading the Bible. ❤️

Improvement Of The Original
Just what I expected: a comprehensive update of the original. More text, pictures, and references. Book itself is attractive, and its size allows it to remain open when in use. A great study reference.

Great resource
This is a very useful resource.

Exceeds all expectations
This is an enormous book, to be absorbed slowly. The beginning explains how this reference book is set up. After a great deal of information on the general history of the Bible it begins with the old testament books. There is a detailed account of what is felt to be 400 years before the new testament begins. At the end there is information on church histories , thoughts on how to use it as a study guide, maps, pictures, a wealth of information. I think my own plan is to read one of the 66 books of the Bible, go back and read the reference chapter on that book. This book is just over one thousand pages and it is likely to take me a year to absorb its information. Beautiful maps, pictures, very impressive. I will warn you it is a big heavy book for serious study. Don’t think you can slip it in your pocket or purse. It is textbook in size.

I really do like this bible handbook so only reducing to 4 stars because of the quality.Ideally I would like a replacement from the publisher as this isn’t going to last at all but as I purchased in 2019 I don’t think I have a chance.
