If any book is indispensable for Bible study, this is it! Here in one book is a treasury of biblical truth, a companion to Bible study, an encyclopedia of information, and a comprehensive guide to understanding the Scriptures.
Unger's Bible Handbook contains a literal library of pertinent biblical data, based on recent archaeological discoveries and the latest evangelical scholarship—a mountain of facts at your fingertips. Scholarly yet readily understood, its format is attractive and the type easy to read.
This is not a random collection of miscellaneous facts. It is carefully organized to form a commentary on God's Word, with an introduction, outline, and discussion of each book and its relationship to the complete biblical revelation. It gives a comprehensive yet concise introduction to the Bible, including its historical and archaeological background. It provides a history of the formation and preservation of the Bible, an outline of the intertestamental period, pertinent statistics, a synopsis of church history, and a survey of other religions.
Rarely has so much been compressed into a single volume. Truly a handbook, it contains a wealth of charts, maps, photographic illustrations, drawings, outlines and indexes. It will prove valuable to students, ministers, teachers, writers, and to every Christian layman. Merrill F. Unger, Th.D., Ph.D. –Inside dust jacket
