The Halo Bible is a document that Bungie has that contains over 600 years of Halo History and information about the Halo Universe.

Unfortunately, it's not available to the public.

Something tells me if a little bigger than a single document, unless it one really long peice of paper, which does seem like Bungie's style.

It isn't (And will Probably never be) available to the public.

A few quotes mentioning the HSB

HBO: Have there been changes to the GAME (that you know of) due to the book, or due to research instigated by its writing?


Eric Nylund: Not that I'm aware of, no. I relied on the Story Bible quite extensively. The whole idea behind a Story Bible is that if you create a document that accurately describes the universe in which a game takes place, you can use it as a guide for writing a novel (for example) without needing to constantly check the developing novel against a developing game.



EGM: You mention Reach; have you read all of the Halo books?


Pete Parsons: Yeah, obviously the Halo fiction. The overarching Halo universe is crafted here, and then guys like...particularly [Halo book author Eric Nylund] has the job of really fleshing out the bones of that particular story arc.


EGM: So somewhere there's a Halo bible that has the basic storyline, including what goes on after Halo 2?


Pete Parsons: Yes, from the present day to the future.


Not a direct reffernce to the Story Bible, but the information that Pete Parsons talks about here is probably in the Story Bible

How Stuff Works: Was the "Halo" story fully realized and segmented into different games, or did you take the story as far as "Halo 1" and when it came time for a sequel, build the story from the ground up?


Pete Parsons: The "Halo" universe has an overarching story that is well thought out and was well thought out before "Halo 2." We have roughly 600 years worth of "Halo" fiction, and we know what happens inside of that universe at any given time.
