Editorial Review:
The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible is truly nothing short of exhaustive. Weighing in at nearly six pounds, this research tool is the revised edition of the legendary classic that generations have come to depend upon for biblical research. Nothing has been omitted from the original text published in 1890, but new supplementary material, such as "The Laws of the Bible", "Teaching and Illustrations of Christ" and a "Harmony of the Gospels" has been added and existing material has been updated and improved upon. The "Topical Index" references thousands of verses relating to over 8,000 biblical subjects, names, places, things, concepts, events and doctrines. In this main section of the concordance, scripture references are placed between a context line and the reference to either the Hebrew or Greek Dictionary, making it easier to access all the features of the concordance at once. The most useful improvement is that variant spellings of proper names from modern versions have been cross-referenced. For instance, the person who uses the Revised Standard Version, the New International Version or the New American Standard Version of the Bible can look up the modern word "Abronah" (which appears in these versions) and will be directed to Ebronah--the New King James spelling. A new computer-generated typesetting, an obvious update from the first version published in 1890, allows for easy reading and subsequently provides both design and format improvements. Any biblically based library would be incomplete without this indispensable edition. --Jill Heatherly
Reader Reviews:
Good. But beware. (14/20 people found this helpful)
Strong's is of course invaluable as a reference aid for those studying the Bible for any reason, and of great historical interest in and of itself, and a true bargain at this price.
However, I must say that a previous reviewers' recommendation of books by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society should come with a health warning. WTBTS is in fact the legal corporation otherwise known as Jehovah's Witnesses, an organisation who claim exclusive rights to interpret what they call "the truth", reject almost every mainstream Christian doctrine, and whose publications are, to say the least, exceptionally tendentious. Their translation of the Bible is notoriously poor in every sense, containing theological glosses masquerading as "translations", numerous errors and ommissions, and has been roundly condemned by virtually every respectable scholar, religious or otherwise, in the field, despite their claims to the contrary. Anyone reading their books should be aware of this.
Vital for anyone looking into the deeper things of God (20/50 people found this helpful)
A thorough concordance of hewbrew and greek scriptures. Complete with dictionaries for both Hebrew and Greek words. A valuable aid for anyone searching the truth from God's word.
For other publications to help get the most from the bible get Insight on the Scriptures published by the Watchtower & Bible Tract Society.
