Title: great resource, just remember it's abbreviated
Review: This is a must have reference book for anyone interested in getting more out of their Bible reading. It's a great resource to give you some background information without commentary, allowing you to come to your own conclusions. However, it is an abbreviated version of the Halley's Bible Handbook so it reads more like lecture notes or an outline. If you're looking for complete sentences and completed thoughts, get the revised and expanded edition, not this one.This book small enough that it's not too bad to carry around, but it's still about the size of 3 paperback books sandwiched together so it's definitely bigger than pocket-sized. My friend has the revised and expanded edition and it isn't that much bigger, so again, if you're looking for more than lecture notes, go ahead and get that one instead. You aren't saving much space or weight by getting the abbreviated version over the expanded version.
