The Lion Handbook to the Bible Fifth Edition: Still the Best Book to Have Next to the Bible

What we expected

I received "The Lion Handbook to the Bible right on time and I absolutely love it. I will cherish it forever... thank for this book

Ok

gives a hoy of history and context - highly recomend

I bought this to replace an older edition having found the previous one a very valuable resource. This edition contains much new information and is very well written and easy to follow. It is easier to use as it is not a hard back. Strongly recommended as a fabulous resource.

A beautiful, most informative and helpful book.

日本語版がほしいと思いましたが、この分量でフルカラーなので、無理だろうなぁと思いました。写真が豊富なのが楽しい。ただ、デザイン重視なので、聖書のどの章についての記述なのかがわかりにくいのが残念。

Great companion to the best book in the world.

If you enjoy a bit of scripture and want a bit more background information this book is for you. I have the quest Bible which already contains side notes and maps but the handbook compliments it beautifully. I wanted a book with a bit more on the history and geography of the time and wasn't disappointed with the contents. The book is in full colour and has lots of fascinating tit bits of info to throw into conversation to amaze people (or bore them depending on their interests). If anyone manages to memorize both I'm pretty sure they will know everything there is to know on the subject and pass biblical scholarships....well perhaps not, but I would think they would be close.
