The New American Bible Concise Concordance [Hardcover]

John R. Kohlenberger III (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 27, 2003

The New American Bible Concise Concordance is a useful word index to all 73 books of the New American Bible. Arranged in alphabetical order, it shows the book, chapter, and verse location of the most prominent words in the NAB and supplies several words of the context in which each word is found.
This volume is the perfect accompaniment for anyone studying the NAB. It provides helpful access to texts most significant to personal and professional Scripture research, regardless of the reader's familiarity with this particular translation.
The New American Bible is the standard translation for use in the Catholic Church in the United States. It is the first edition of the Catholic Scriptures in American English to have been translated from the original languages. The NAB is the translation that is publicly proclaimed in the Roman Catholic Mass, and it also appears in the missal.

* The only concordance keyed to the latest edition of the New American Bible text.
* A handy, affordable reference volume for anyone reading or studying the NAB, the standard translation for the American Catholics.
* Two column text.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very easy to use for the average Bible student or Catechist, June 8, 2004

This review is from: The New American Bible Concise Concordance (Hardcover)

I selected this concordance because so many of the others available selectively omit books from the Bible considered to be "apocrypha".

With this concordance, Catholics who wish to deepen their faith and understanding of God's word can do so without sacrificing the Tradition and Sacred Scripture as revealed to the Catholic Church since it's beginning.

This is a good Catholic Concordance and good companion to the Catechism and the Holy Bible.

For those who may not know, a concordance is essentially an index for the bible. This is not an exhaustive concordance that lists every word of the bible and where it can be found. Rather it is concise. The decision making is highly competent, and I doubt anyone using this concordance would find it lacking. It is helpful for both scholars and lay people when reading the bible.

This is the concordance for the NAB (New American Bible), the most common translation in use for Roman Catholics in the United States. There is also a concise concordance available for the NRSV by the same editor. I have them both. Both are excellent.

I would love a good concordance for the RSV (my personal favorite translation), but thus far have been unable to find one. If anyone knows of one, please free to leave a comment letting me know where I can get a good concordance for the RSV.

To those who may be interested, I just found a concordance for the RSV that looks good: The Oxford Concise Concordance to the Revised Standard Version of the Holy Bible

Anyone using the New American Bible on a regular basis should have a copy of this book. We have all remembered a verse or part of a verse and just can't locate it. This book as paid for itself multiple times!
