There simply is not a better comprehensive Bible concordance. A classic word-and-verse reference for more than a century, Nelson's improved edition sets the standard. It's completely updated with e
Amazon.com Review
The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible is 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 on 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. 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 computer-generated typesetting, an obvious update from the first version, reads easily and provides design and format improvements. Any biblically based library would be incomplete without this indispensable edition. --Jill Heatherly

 Great for anyone who wants in-depth Bible Study August 11, 2000

There are so many different ways this book can be helpful. It's great for anyone who wants to find a scripture passage but can only remember a few words from the passage or wants to compare how a certain word is used in different places in the Bible. You don't have to rely on a minister or other Bible scholar, you can find answers for yourself. I've found it most helpful when translating from Hebrew and Greek using the Hebrew and Greek dictionaries in the back. They actually make it possible to do some analysis of the Bible in the original languages without knowing Hebrew or Greek. I would recommend the exhaustive concordance over the concise one because there really isn't that much of a difference in price, and the exhaustive concordance has a lot more to offer. Of course, the concordance is based on the King James Version, but I've found that only really matters when you're using the concordance to help with translation.

Well I must say I was real impress with the organization of the information and material in this book.
Regarding new and old editions:
I must caution you that Amazon. com has 2 editions of this book and they are both listed under the same editorial and customer reviews which could confuse you and have you buying the wrong edition. Let me spell out the difference here. The New Stong's Exhaustive Concordance Limited, Deluxe Edition is an old edition. If you want the modern edition of this same book it's listed under amazon.com as The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible: Classic Edition. The difference that I see is that the older version is listed as Deluxe Edition and the New version as Classical Edition. Another way of telling the difference between the 2 editions is by looking at the picture of the book if one is provided. The newer edition is light brown w/ a little red and looks modern while the older edition is just a reddish color w/ Gold color writing. The new addition is more like a revised copy of the old one.
Regarding the content of book:
This concordance is based on the King James Version bible but also has modern words used in other english version bibles as well but it is more for the King James version to my opinion. This book is excellent because it has every word listed along w/ all of their occurrences in the bible and the Hebrew and Greek words they comes from. We all know that some words can have more than one meaning and one can only determine which meaning a word is implyinh by looking at the context the word is in. This book already acknowledges this by already providing the correct definition of each word in it's context. This book has a Hebrew/Aramaic and Greek dictionary, all Laws are listed, scales and weights listed, an outline of Christ's life and works, a topical index, Strong's number system, and a few more items.
There is a comment about this book that I've seen that some of Greek definitions in this book are based more on Classical Greek than Koine. (Koine: Greek dialect spoken during New Testament times and would be more likely used by the New Testament writers.) Other than that this book is excellent and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to enrich their knowledge of the bible.

I own a Strong's Concordance, and have proven it's usefulness time and time again. This reference will allow you to find virtually any elusive verse that you may search for. This book also allows you to check the definitions of words in their origional Hebrew and Greek meanings in context of the specified verse!

I had no idea such magical things existed! Strong's Concordance is an essential tool in any academic study of the Bible. The Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic dictionaries allow one a glimpse of the hurdles translators had to navigate in wrestling with this text. I recommend this for anyone working with the Bible or with any text with densely packed biblical allusions, such as Milton, Shakespeare or T.S. Eliot, among countless others.

This book is the most outstanding piece of literature ever composed. The Strong's Concordance allows the reader to refer back to the Hebrew, Chaldea, and Greek languages. The book is used exactly like a dictionary. Just look up the word and passage of interest, and with the number provided beside it turn to either the Hebrew or Greek section, depending of which book you are studying, and see what it means in the native language. By breaking down the word and possessing its orginial meaning, the reader can get a better understanding from God's word. If you are serious in studying God's word, then this is a must have study tool that must be added to your library immediately.
