A concordance is the first thing to reach for when you want to explore the Bible in-depth. Organized alphabetically, it’s a word-by-word index of the specific Bible translation you’re using. When you can’t find a Scripture passage or verse you’re looking for, turn to your concordance. It’s absolutely essential for doing word studies, and great for topical studies as well.

The NIV Compact Concordance was designed with practicality in mind. This streamlined adaptation of the Gold Medallion Award-winning NIV Exhaustive Concordance screens out references and entries that are less useful in Bible study. The result is a study tool that is both portable and extremely helpful.

From the Publisher

Presenting the NIV Compact Series in softcover. Smart. Convenient. Keep the whole set within reach on your desktop. Grab a volume or two volumes and take them with you anywhere. Each NIV Compact book packs a lot of information in a small package--one that fits where other books won't and travels light when larger volumes tip the scales. And the price is as compact as the size--but don't let the modest cost fool you. There's a lot of knowledge here, condensed to provide the most salient information in an efficient format. For a hand-sized reference library that does more than scratch the surface, this 4-volume series is the route to take: big on insight, small in size, and easy on the pocketbook. Now in softcover, the NIV Compact Series includes: ? NIV Compact Bible Commentary--Begins with the larger context--the Bible as a whole--then shows how all its books fit into the grand picture. It offers valuable, wide-angle perspectives on the central messages of Scripture ? NIV Compact Nave's Topical Bible-- Based on the NIV Nave's Topical Bible, this compact edition omits biblical text while retaining topical muscle. And like its full-sized counterpart, it improves on the original, KJV-based edition by adding more than 500 headings, 2,000 subtopics, and 1,300 cross-references. ? NIV Compact Concordance-- This streamlined adaptation of the award-winning NIV Exhaustive Concordance provides more than 50,000 references and over 2,000 exhaustive entries for practical and significant Bible study. ? NIV Compact Dictionary of the Bible-- This unique volume is actually three books in one: a dictionary for easy-to-find, practical information on thousands of topics; a topical index for detailed study of nearly 150 larger topics; and a survey providing an introductory overview of the Bible, biblical history, and biblical culture

5.0 out of 5 stars Only concordance NIV readers will need!, March 9, 2003

This review is from: NIV Compact Concordance (Paperback)

This is a great concordance. I've had it for about 4 years now and find it really helpful. It includes several words on either side of the entry to help establish context, which cuts down on the amount of flipping to verses that don't apply. I definitely recommend this, I'm going to get a copy for my roommate so that I can get mine back!

This review is from: NIV Compact Concordance (Paperback)

Altghough this is not an exhaustive concordance, its size makes it quite useful.
The only real drawback is that it is paperback, but because of this, the price makes it one of the best values in a full concordance out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where in the Bible Will I Find That?, August 26, 2005

This review is from: NIV Compact Concordance (Paperback)

A must for any person reading the Bible for the first time to a much read Bible scholar. A helpful tool when a word is mentioned and you need to find where it is located in Scripture. Necessary when you want to do a study of a particular word in the Scriptures. Recently given to friends who don't necessarily use NIV Bibles. They are able to still find what they want by locating the Scripture in their own translation or paraphrase.
