Other than your Bible reading this book will unearth worlds of knowledge

Wonderful Book!!!!

Bought one of these for my Father for Father's day(He is a Pastor) he loved it. I bought one for myself also and it is a good study book.

The New Unger's Bible Handbook

While I have not personally had the chance to examine the book myself, I gave this to my father, a retired minister, to review and he and my mom now wish to purchase a new one for themselves as well. He has been relying on his old, outdated Unger's handbook for many years now.

Every Shelf Needs this book!

The New Unger's Bible Handbook is a wonderful resource tool. It is user friendly but also gives the more experienced Bible scholar indepth information and stimulating insights. I am more than pleased with my purchase and will probably add this to my gift giving list for Christmas.

A not too bad reference tool....

The UBH is fairly informative, and I found the info on the early church and canon formation very helpful. However the theological beliefs of the author creep in a lot. In Revelation, for instance, he only treats the futurist view of interpretation as worthwhile, while dismissing the other views without any real evidence against them. I have found this book was very useful when I was a younger Christian, but now it basically sits on the shelf. I think the NIV Study Bible's notes and package are the better way to go.

The best Bible commentary I've come across.

What I like most about Mr. Unger's commentary is that he shows Christ throughout. He highlights where Christ is prefigured or foreshadowed and how Christ fulfilled all that was to be fullfilled. The commentary is written from the perspective of Christianity's Herbraic roots. A great study reference.
