Halley's Bible Handbook is a comprehensive reference guide and concise commentary designed to help laypeople, teachers, and ministers understand the Bible by providing historical, geographical, and archaeological context.  Written by Henry H. Halley, a minister and Bible lecturer, the book was born from his conviction that every Christian should be a constant and devoted reader of the Bible to foster a personal relationship with God. 

The handbook is structured to cover the Old Testament, the period Between the Testaments, and the New Testament, offering a brief summary and main thought for each book. It is distinguished by its inclusion of maps, charts, photographs, and illustrations that clarify cultural and religious settings, as well as sections on church history and the development of the biblical canon.
