Holman Illustrated Bible Handbook
Ebooks Online

Many who would be willing to search for truth in the Bible are intimidated by its size, the length of time it spans, the different languages and cultures within, or questions about the historical reliability and contemporary relevance of Scripture.The Holman Illustrated Bible Handbook is designed with an awareness of the obstacles people have to understanding the Bible. It begins with an essay on “How to Read and Study the Bible” before proceeding to chapters that provide a thorough overview of each of the Bible’s 66 books, summarizing each one’s content, author, evidences of authenticity, and historical context.In addition to the full-color maps, photographs, reconstructions, and charts that equip readers throughout the volume, a smartphone-accessible QR code is included for each chapter that leads to related online teaching from noted Bible scholar Gene Getz. There’s also an article by Jeremy Howard (general editor of the award-winning HCSB Study Bible) explaining how each book of the Old and New Testaments was accepted into the Bible.

It is a rather small handbook, quite different than the original Holman Bible Handbook. Because of that and the fact that the information is greatly reduced for a Bible handbook, I would only give it three stars. However, there is some technology in this handbook that earns it an additional star. One of its selling points is the use of technology to increase your learning. There is a code at the end of each book of the Bible that, if scanned on a smartphone or tablet, will open to a video on a topic within the book. It is interesting, to say the least. I can see using this book over time to enhance my studies.

Bought several copies for my students and their feedback has all been positive. Very condense and to the point as a handbook should be. The QRcodes within each chapter are a lot of fun and very informative. I like the section within each book of the Bible that discusses how Jesus is depicted, particularly helpful in the OT books.

Exactly as described, quick. For God so loved the world that He sent His only Son (Jesus Christ) that whoever would believe on Him would not perish (Hell) but have eternal life (Heaven) John 3:16 & 14:6.

Very easy to understand and concise. Lots of pictures. I like the article on how to read and study the Scriptures! I would definitely recommend it!

This piece offers an excellent tour through God’s Word as it leads us through the Bible’s most relevant points. In our very fast past society most of us will encounter difficulty finding our way around the history line and content of the Bible; this one-of-a-kind handbook will greatly facilitate this experience. God’s mandate is to take the gospel to the world; that Jesus our Lord and Redeemer has made it possible for us, the sons and daughters of men, to become His sons and daughters (Alleluia!) This piece of art gives away the entire bible in a nutshell and is richly and exquisitely illustrated; a must have for the learned and unlearned alike.

This is a great Bible handbook. It seems like an alternative add-on to the HCSB Study Bible. That said, it's very aesthetically pleasing with its top-notch photos and although it's not perfect; really solid.

Very enjoyable read. I love the illustrations and study cross references. Takes you to a deeper level. I highly recommend this handbook.

Handy reference with glossy paper, high quality graphics and QR codes. Likely to appeal to younger generation that is comfortable with short books and modern technology.
