1.0 out of 5 stars Naves Topical Bible, August 11, 2008

This review is from: NAVE'S TOPICAL BIBLE (Kindle Edition)

This book is an excellent resource, but the kindle version leaves a lot to be desired. There is no table of contents so you will have to scroll page by page to get to the section you want. There is also no search function, which is a major flaw since this is a massive book. Lastly, the reviews I read prior to buying were for the printed version, not Kindle. I would not reccommend this version until the navigation problem has been redone.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have, April 13, 2000

This review is from: Nave's Topical Bible (Hardcover)

If I was told that I could only have my Bible plus three other books for sermon and Bible study preparation, the three choices would have to be Strongs concordance, a good Bible dictionary, and Nave's Topical Bible.

Nave's has more than 20,000 topics leading to over 100,000 scripture references providing Biblical insight on a multitude of subjects. Just as importantly, this is no flash-in-the-pan, here-today-out-of-print-tomorrow study tool. Nave's has withstood the test of time and met the needs of millions of users down through the years. This is a work that no clergyman or serious reader of the Bible should be without.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dated but a superb tool for theological analysis, July 3, 2004

This review is from: Nave's Topical Bible-KJV (Hardcover)

This is a logical grouping of verses based on the topics they deal with. This is the perfect tool if you want to know all the verses that apply to a certain topic. The only critique is that Nave's needs to be updated. Much of the language is outdated and it is sometimes hard to determine what heading the verses you might be looking for are under. For instance, greed is under Covetousness. While this instance has a cross-reference pointing you to the right heading, many words do not. Despite this critique, this is one of the best resources for Bible study.
