Description: The NEW BIBLE HANDBOOK Inter-Varsity Fellowship Hardback Book edited by THE REV. G.T. MANLEY, M.A. First Edition March 1947 Reprinted Febraury 1948 Second Edition January 1949 Third Edition December 1950 Reprinted September 1952 Reprinted August 1953 " For some years past, students of the Bible have felt the need for a new and up-to-date Handbook which would combine a belief in its plenary inspiration with sound scholarship. Important additions have been made to our knowledge of the language, history and religion of Palestine and the surrounding nations; and linguistic and archaeological discoveries have seriously modified the views of the former generation, causing a reaction in favour of a more constructive criticism. The purpose of this Handbook is to help those who read the Bible to enter into a fuller understanding of its meaning, and thus to learn the will of God and to experience a closer sense of communion with Christ Himself. For the words which epitomize the message of the Gospel of John are applicable to the entire volume of sacred Scripture. "These are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name.
