This book is the NRSV equivelent of the famous Strongs Exhaustive Concordance to the KJV Bible. If you are serious about studying the NRSV, this is a must have resource. Compiled by a computer database, it has every instance of every word (including and and the) in the NRSV. Well wort the price!

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and Helpful for NRSV study, August 6, 2009

This review is from: The Nrsv Concordance Unabridged: Including the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical Books (Hardcover)

Kohlenberger's comprehensive NRSV concordance is a great tool for any preacher or seminary student who works heavily out of the NRSV translation. It weighs a ton, of course, and that combined with the ready availability of Bible software is probably why it fell out of print so quickly. I personally still like to work with books laid out in front of me when I am preparing sermons, Bible study lessons, etc. If you are like that, this tool would be very helpful.

Also, I was able to locate my copy, unused and still in the plastic, online from a college bookstore that was trying to unload old stock a few years ago. And I paid a very reasonable price. I found it using either Amazon's Marketplace or a similar site like Alibris. So don't overpay for the first copy you see. You ought to still be able to find this title at plenty of used bookstores, either online or brick-and-mortar.

One other note: Be wary of Kohlenberger's Concise Concordance to the NRSV, which was published by Oxford in 1993 and is still in print. I bought it first, thinking it might serve my purposes. But it is so concise that it can be more frustrating than helpful. If you really want a bound concordance and expect to use it regularly, I recommend locating and purchasing the unabridged edition.

This review is from: The Nrsv Concordance Unabridged: Including the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical Books (Hardcover)

Another reviewer mentioned that this concordance was the equivalent of the Strongs for the NRSV. I bought a used copy for $30+ only to discover that, unlike the Strongs Concordance, it doesn't provide the Hebrew/Greek word, transliteration, or definitions/synonyms. It does not even provide the Strongs number for each word so that you can cross reference them with a Strongs Concordance. This book only gives the references for every time each word appears in the Bible. I had expected more, both from the other reviews and because I own an NIV concordance by Kohlenberger which has all that information. Why include it all in the NIV concordance, but not in the NRSV? I'm pretty disappointed.
