Eerdmans' Handbook to the Bible
Carmel, New York: Guideposts, 1973. first American edition. hardcover. 8vo 680pp. from front flap: "The Bible is the world's most frequently read book. But it was written in a world far different and far removed from our own, and even in its modern translations there is much it does not tell us about that world. From the pages of the Bible itself we learn relatively little, for example, about everyday life during the time of Moses, or about geography, climate, weights and measures, or money. And we learn even less about the culture and the character of those early civilizations that surrounded the nation of Israel, and that played so prominent a role in the scriptural account. The Eerdman's Handbook to the Bible has been designed to meet that need."
