This one's a guide to the Old Testament--or Hebrew Scriptures, or Tanakh, or however you prefer to title it--with a conservative Lutheran bent. It's more in depth than Halley's Bible Handbook and a lot slicker with more charts and pictures. However, that added content also makes it a lot bigger. It definitely wasn't designed to be snatched off the shelf for a quick consultation while you have three other volumes sitting open on your desk. (I wonder if that description qualifies me for membership in the Society for Creative Anachronism...)
