Holman Illustrated Bible Handbook (Hardcover)

The Holman Illustrated Bible Handbook, CSB Edition is designed with an awareness of the obstacles people have to understanding the Bible, beginning 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.

Many people would love to search for truth in the Bible but are intimidated by its size, or the length of time its story spans, or the distance between our day and the cultural settings of the biblical authors, or certain questions about the historical reliability and contemporary relevance of Scripture.

The Holman Illustrated Bible Handbook is designed to overcome the obstacles people have to understanding the Bible. It begins with an essay on “How to Read and Study the Bible” and then provides a brief and basic overview of each of the Bible’s 66 books: each book’s author, main message, 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.
