Ok. I thought I had the "Strongest" concordance, but when I picked this one up and looked at it, I realized that I had fallen prey to a marketeer's clever play on words. Nelson's New Strong's Expanded Exhaustive Concordance blow's Zondervan's out of the water. The substantially expanded Greek and Hebrew dictionary definitions alone make this volume indispensible to any student of God's Word who owns a KJV. Like the "Strongest", it has all of the nice extras like a complete topical index of the Scriptures, and convenient alphabetical page markings. It is about twice as thick as Zondervan's concordance, partly because of the 600+ pages of Greek and Hebrew dictionaries(Compared to about 200 in the competitor's volume.), and partly becuase the print is larger (and WAY clearer and easier to read) than Zondervan's. The only thing "stronger" about the competitor's book is a better quality binding. This one isn't bad by any stretch, but Zondervan's lay-flat Smythe sewn binding is definitely better. That being said, I'm planning on giving my other concordance to my brother. This one's a keeper!

Finally, a Strong's concordance with the insight of Vine's dictionary.

Strong's has long been recognized as THE concordance for the KJV. One of the most critical and highly criticized area of Strong's is the Greek and Hebrew dictionaries. Some have felt that these dictionaries can sometimes lead the reader to a false conclusion that these definitions are the only meaning to the words defined.

Now with Vine's insights added to many of the Words, this complaint is lessened. Even before this edition of Strong's, many got by with the definitions that were found in the dictionaries.

Now with the insights of Vine's dictionary, these definitions are more accurate and should give one added information and better clarification for many words found in the Bible.

Highly recommended.

This is a fairly comprehensive work on the details of the
Old and New Testament vocabulary. There are good renditions
of the Hebrew and Greek dictionaries. Each word contains a
name, definition and Biblical reference. The words of the Savior
are highlighted in red for ease of identification. For instance,
the word "Abba" is aramaic for father. This book would be
invaluable as a scholastic research document for biblical
scholars, language enthusiasts, historians and a wide constituency of academicians both here and abroad. It is well worth the price
charged.

I've never looked at a Strong's before and was slightly intimidated by the amount of information I would be getting. After a few minutes of getting the feel for it I'd already learned quite a bit and confirmed some things that I was really interested in.

As I study the Bible I sometimes find myself grabbing the Strong's and going more in depth into God's Word. It's very easy to follow and understand and I highly recommend this to anyone from complete newbie (like me) to a John MacArthur level bible scholar.

If you are in need of a concordance the Strong's is by far the best and this one is improved, the words of Christ is in red and it is easy to follow, the reference number is located to the right of the word you are researching and the Hebrew is in normal type while the Greek is in italic type print and this makes it easy to reference, also appearing within the enhanced definition are cross-references to to other leading word dictionaries. This gives a better understanding of words in the King James Version that may have left you in question before, it is much better to be able to see the word meaning from the original transcripts. It also has a complete topical index, includes the Harmony of the Gospels, the parables of Jesus, the miracles of Jesus and much more.

This is a must have for every layperson, bible student, and pastor. The New Strong's Expanded Exhaustive Concordance is equipped with everything needed to achieve a successful study of the scriptures. I truly love the topical index to the bible, it gives you total history of any subject matter or person in the bible linking Old Testament to New Testament. Every word that is in the bible is in the concordance allowing you a sure way to find the scripture you are looking for. I can't go on without mentioning the Hebrew and Greek dictionaries that allows you to receive the correct meaning to certain words in scripture so you can rightly divide the Word of Truth. There is so much that I can say about this book, if you don't have one you need to purchase one now, you will be pleased.

I really love this Red Letter Edition as it is very easy to look up the words spoken by Jesus. The Hebrew, Aramic, and Greek dictionaries are simply superb. True, you must read the instructions on how to use it but that holds true for any concordance. Without this indispensable aid you are missing out on the true meaning of the words.

This is one of the best materials I have for my sermons. I am not a Greek or Hebrew scholar, but it has helped with the understanding of many words which can be misinterpreted or misapplied. It can add depth and understanding to a sermon when used properly.

I have most of the reference books for both OT & NT research, but was missing Strongs. To find it with such an expansive Vines Dictionary was a real surprise - and a real treat.

I bought this for my son who is in prison. You might think this is a bad thing, but God has given my son a ministry from the inside out. When God is finished with him he will come out. He has led 10 men to Christ so far. He said it was the best concordance and it has helped him to bring the light to the Gospel in a greater way.
