The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible: Every Word of the Bible Indexed, Large Print Edition

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Tim 2:15 "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:" Isa 28:10 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" 2 Tim 3:16 This is a wonderful addition to the library of the student that wants to learn how to rightly divide the Word of Truth. Allowing the Bible to be its own interpreter is facilitated by the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance. I am not a theologian by any means. But you don't need to be a theologian to utilize this easy to use resource. What I like: * The price (I paid ~$12 on Amazon...) * The bible dictionary. This is not an indepth dictionary going into the nuances of each word but very informative on it's own right. I would advise supplementing with either Vine's Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words: Super Value Edition or Mounce's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words (I have Mounce's but some of the entries seem to be lacking theologically... I'll write a review of that once I've had it for a while). * The layout and visual cues (i.e. Words of Christ in bold, a brief contextual search so you know exactly what verse you're trying to find without searching all over. * "Industry" standard... All other software, tools for studying use the Strong's numbers for their references as well. What I don't like: * It's heavy (not that heavy... wish I could carry it around with me for adhoc study) * The writing is a little small. I don't wear glasses because I don't need them. However, it is a little easy to get lost if distracted. Practical use example: What is hope? I did a word study on the word hope and found some fascinating things. 1) Hope will end because we eventually will get what we are hoping for 2) The scriptures give us hope 3) We hope for the salvation 4) Hope is like a helmet protecting us and frames our experiences (trials/tribulations) so that we keep our trials and tribulations in perspective. 5) Our hope is the appearing of Jesus Christ. 6) This is from the Mounce's dictionary: Hope is a confident expectation (see Heb 11:1) ...and finally... 7) We must be ready always to give a reason of the hope that is within us with meekeness and fear (respect). 1 Pet 3:15 What better way to be able to give a reason than studying the scriptures and passing on the good tidings (gospel)?

The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew and the New Testament was originally written in Greek and what we have in our English Bibles is English interpretations of these languages. Anyone who has learnt a second language knows it can be difficult to accurately render what is said in one language into another especially with the Hebrew that often had many different meanings for the same word. Take 1 Chronicles 16:30 which reads "Tremble before him, all the earth; Indeed the earth has been made and it can't be moved" Some who read that will say ah, the bible says the earth doesn't spin. The word that is rendered movable here is Strong's word 4131 and when we look that up in the Concordance we find the Hebrew word means "to slip, shake, fall -- be carried, cast, be out of course, be fallen, in decay" we can see that the original Hebrew doesn't say anything about the earth spinning it says the earth can't be moved out of its place. Very few English bibles will give you that impression from their interpretation and with a book like this you don't have to blindly trust their English interpretations any more! There are 6 sections to this book: The first is the main concordance, this section lists all the words in the bible (based on the King James Version) along with all the verses that use this word and Strong's word number for the original word. This section is index from A to Z to help you find the word you're after. The second section is an Appendix to the first section this just covers small words such as And, Are, For, etc. The Third section is the Hebrew dictionary in numeric order. The fourth section is the Greek dictionary in numeric order. The fifth section looks at the biblical law, Jewish calendars, measurements and other supplements. The sixth and last section is the topical index to the bible. This is a huge and bulky book but as it says on the back and its true "Its the Only Concordance you will every really need" This book is definitely worth the investment. It is a large and bulky book which can make it awkward to carry but it does use a reasonable sized fault that I found clear and easy to read. The information this book gives you makes its large size irrelevant and if you're a bible student you're putting yourself at a disadvantage if you don't have this book! If you really want to know what the bible says this is definitely the book to get. This concordance is still the best selling Concordance and for good reason. One disadvantage however, this book is dated and you may want to get a supplementary title such as Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary to update it. Strong's dictionary is not like Vine's which goes into detail on the original meaning of the word. Strong's dictionary is very basic, it will give you a general idea of the word's meaning in its original language but it doesn't give you much more than that. You may want to invest in an Interlinear with Strong's numbers. I have a number of these and they allow you to go straight to the dictionary and make things faster and easier. If you have an Interlinear with Strong's numbers you can avoid the need for the King James Bible for the Hebrew/Greek dictionaries which you will probably use the most. The King James Version is used the most in the Concordance and Topic Index of the Bible.

Very Good. Nice and big book, pack with valuable information. It has served me well. Use it looking up info all the time. Print size is not to bad for old eyes. Goes well with the companion bible.

Strongs exhaustive concordance has always been a great reference tool. It's great for bible studies. I purchased one for myself and gave one as a gift.

Excellent reference for Hebrew translation during Bible studies. The print is large and easy to read. It’s well made and heavy. It’s a great addition to anyone’s library. I highly recommend getting this book.

Once I opened it, I couldn't put it down! Although I have only taken Greek, I was able to look up words and their Hebrew meaning as well. It has definitely helped my understanding of the authors' intent when reading the Holy Bible.

Wonderful purchase for anyone interested in translating words in the Bible. Great for the price. Would recommend.

Great concordance l, need strength to carry it

Un must pour tous ceux qui veulent s’engager dans une étude sérieuse et profonde de la Parole de Dieu. Une bénédiction pour tous ceux qui maîtrisent l’anglais mais même pour ceux qui ne le parlent pas. Contenu très riche.

Strongs Concordance is a huge (very HEAVY) book, you won't be able to carry it around with you but WOW, it is absolutely amazing, stacked full of information and help, if you are studying Theology, Biblical Studies, it's an absolute MUST!!!! You won't be sorry you bought it. Highly Recommend.

I highly recommend this book as it gives definitions of all words in the Bible - both Hebrew and Greek. This way, if you want to study a subject such as the word 'hell', you will find 3 definitions, that, incontext, will give 3 separate and distinct meanings...and none of these meanins/definitions mean a place where you go and burn forever. If you're a student of the Bible and you want to know what each word means to have an effective Bible Study, this book is absolutely a must to know what God has to say on any topic. I bought my Concordance some 3 decades ago, this one is a gift.
