| Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible |
| by James Strong was voted for by the following 10 people: |
| John Scarsbrook (England) | An essential, easy to use tool for studying the Scriptures. An endless source of interest for the Bible student who enjoys finding root meanings of Hebrew and Greek words together with their frequency and place of occurrence. When the budget allows, buy the works of Spiros Zodhiates, they are based upon Strong’s and give more detailed explanation. |
|
| Alastair Sinclair (Scotland) | A concordance is essential for serious bible study. Strong’s is in my view the most useable and comprehensive. |
|
| Philip Kaye (England) | The advent of On-Line Bible facilities has reduced the need to use concordances of this nature but what you have on computer is based upon the work of men like Strong. Helpful in pursuing word studies and finding verses. |
|
| Ian Affleck (Scotland) | |
|
| Stephen Baker (England) | This is probably the most used book in my library! |
|
| Ian Rees (Wales) | Of the many concordances (lists of words with their references) of the Bible that are in print, Strong’s is indispensible because of his system of numbering all the words. Many Hebrew and Greek dictionaries have subsequently linked their definitions to Strong’s numbers. Available on line and with many electronic versions of Bible software, but none-the-less essential to good Bible study. |
|
| John Bennett (England) | Few of us have immediate recollection of all the passages that contain a particular word, or what that word might be in the language of the original biblical text. Finding relevant passages, understanding the word used in that passage and having a dictionary to open up alternative renderings/meanings are just some of the beauties of this work. |
|
| Ken Totton (England) | As the great preacher C H Spurgeon said: ‘You need only one - have none but the best’. Strong’s is still arguably the best and easiest to use concordance. There has been a recent surge in the popularity of computer aids for Bible study such as e-sword and other tools keyed to Strong’s numbers, making this concordance a good choice. |
|
| Jim McKendrick (USA) | We all owe a great debt of gratitude to Mr. James Strong for this monumental work. Each word in the English Bible is carefully listed alphabetically and it’s Hebrew or Greek counterpart numbered. Then each Hebrew/Greek word is transliterated, briefly defined, and other words used in English to translate that particular word listed at the end. This work is the key to hours of very profitable word studies opening up the beauty of the original languages to the English reader. |
|
| Richard Collings (Wales) | Maybe you know a verse but can’t recall where it is found, or perhaps you know a few words of a verse but can’t quote it all – James Strong’s concordance will resolve both of these issues for you. This concordance shows every word in the AV and every occurrence of each word, all listed alphabetically – each is also given a numeric code (see next 2 books). |
