James Strong (Author), W. E. Vine (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 15, 1999

A multi-purpose Bible study resource tool. All the essentials you need to study the biblical text without having to know Hebrew or Greek. Provides definition, explanation, and concordance entries.

Dr. James Strong, formerly professor of exegetical theology at Drew Theological Seminary, spent more than thirty-five years preparing his landmark concordance. First published in 1890 with the help of more than one hundred colleagues, Strong's remains the definitive concordance compiled on the King James Version of the Bible.

W. E. Vine, M.A. (1873-1949) was a classical scholar, skilled expositor, and a trustworthy theologian. Recognized internationally for his outstanding Greek scholarship, his Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, first published in 1939, represents the fruit of his lifetime labors and is an unsurpassed classic in its field.

3.0 out of 5 stars Handy Reference, However Does NOT Contain Lexicons, July 3, 2001

By

This review is from: Strong's Concise Concordance And Vine's Concise Dictionary Of The Bible Two Bible Reference Classics In One Handy Volume (Hardcover)

Anyone who uses Strong's Concordance regularly has undoubtedly come to rely on the lexicons for a deeper understanding of the Holy Scriptures. This edition contains only the first part of Strong's, that is, the verse citations by keyword.

This is a great volume for young students or for those who are not interested in the original languages of the books of the Holy Bible.

Others would be better served by investing in the unabridged New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible and a separate dictionary.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Reference, October 4, 2006

By 

Page Turner (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Strong's Concise Concordance And Vine's Concise Dictionary Of The Bible Two Bible Reference Classics In One Handy Volume (Hardcover)

I'm disappointed that this product has only a 3.5 star rating. It's a concise reference, not an exhaustive end-all answer book to the Bible. Perhaps too many reviewers had unrealistic expectations. My only complaint is that the Greek and Hebrew letters aren't printed in the dictionary section, for further study. All in all, it is a good source to have alongside during personal study (but this thing is THICK, so I wouldn't reccomend lugging it around to a Bible study or sermon).

5.0 out of 5 stars Delivers what it promises, January 4, 2009

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Strong's Concise Concordance And Vine's Concise Dictionary Of The Bible Two Bible Reference Classics In One Handy Volume (Hardcover)

This is a CONCISE version of Strong's concordance and Vine's dictionary. The concordance portion is 749 pages long and the dictionary portion is 427 pages. Naturally, in terms of comprehensiveness, it can not compete with the exhaustive Strong's (1824 pages) or the complete Vine's (759 pages). It is also $24.80 cheaper than the combined exhaustive works (as of January, 2009). Yes, some things were left out. Yes, there are more complete works out there. But for the person who is looking to enrich their every-day Bible time, this is a handy guide that won't throw out your back when you reach for it. If you are looking for an exhausive guide - keep looking. However, if you purchase this book and are then disappointed that a 'concise' volume proves to be concise and not exhaustive, please don't take it out on the book in the form of a poor rating. And please don't label all users of this book 'young students, beginners, not serious or uninterested in original Biblical language'. I applaud anyone who is dedicated to improving their Bible study time and think this is a great economical volume to have within reach.
