Title: Scholarly without being dry
Review: I found this book to be fascinating and highly readable. It is both scholarly and well-balanced. The book does not seem to push either a fundamentalist or liberal theology. It is well organized, giving the reader a helpful overview of each book of the Bible, chapter by chapter. It also pulls together interesting historical information aided by graphs, maps, and wonderful photographs. I consider The Handbook to the Bible an invaluable aid to anyone wishing to increase their understanding of and appreciation for the Bible.
