The Halley's Bible is so perfect for me that want to understand more about my study Bible class. All the details of every book of the Bible has a clear explanation and all the characters of the Bible are well introduced.

I have been using Halley's for most of my Christian life and highly recommend it. I especially like this updated version. I wish it opened a little flatter- my old hands have a hard time keeping it open.I bought my first Halley's in the 1950's. Next to the Bible my favorite book!
