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.

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).

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.

For the beginner, this is a good reference to have. However, if you are serious and want all of the detail, then do not buy this version.

This is exactly what I wanted to help with my own individual bible study as well as with my small group. I agree with the others who have offered their comments that there are more complete volumes out there for the extremely serious student of the bible, but this is perfect for the average church-goer studying at home.

This dictionary arrived in great condition from Amazon that was the only site that carried it.The book is easy to read and it surprised me with the extent of its content.I look forward to using it in my studies.

The Bible is the inspired Word of God and He intends for all who seek, to find and be able to understand it. While this is possible, it is sometimes helpful to have a dictionary for words that one may be unfamiliar with, to aid their understanding. The Vine's Dictionary is a great resource for that purpose. Additionally, for topical studies or for linking passages together, the Strong's Concordance is a great tool. My husband & I own these individual books and purchased this 2-in-1 volume for friends. Although the book is "concise," it is very thorough. And while it is one large book, it is not weighty, and has been good for elderly friends of our's to handle. Enjoy your time in God's Word and seek to understand it how it is intended, not how you want it to read!

It arrived on time and in good shape. This book has a lot of Godly knowledge. Thou I misinterperted what I needed it for.

THE DELIVERY TIME AND SHAPE OF THE BOOK IS AS OUTSTANDING AS IT IS TO READ!!
