A Bible Handbook provides a short Bible commentary, maps, historical backgrounds,
archaeological background, tables of weights and measures, lists of kings
and geneologies and much more information. Much of the information found
in Bible Handbooks can now be found in modern study Bibles. Handbooks are
particularly good for those with limited budgets, or those who travel and
do not want to bring a more comprehensive library with them. Without a
doubt, the classic Bible Handbook is "Halley's Bible Handbook". As of 1986,
over 4.6 million copies of "Halley's Bible Handbook" have been sold. It
has also been published in a number of other languages. Please note that
Halley's takes a very anti-Catholic position in it's discussion of Church
history. Other handbooks include "Holman Bible Handbook", "Eerdmans Handbook
to the Bible" and "New Unger's Bible Handbook" (although I have not personally
seen any of these books yet).
