Solid information in simple,clear and straight way!:
The handbook is clearly evanglism scholar's standpoint.
Easy to read! Solid information but not dry! like a little libaray (introdution, commentary, explanation, bible background...etc.)
All everythings here are short but good enough and readable for beginner.
The references in here is the best books of evanglism scholar, they provide very good further study if the user want deeper information.
Compare other exist handbooks this sure are one of best of them.
