5.0 out of 5 stars The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, July 11, 2001

Though I am no pastor, I have a respectable library of exegetical works which enable me to understand the meaning of Biblical passages and others which are good to excellent at finding what I need. I find the New Treasury an invaluable tool in these endeavors. It is an awesome chain-reference tool that, combined with my concordance (I use Young's), my lexicons (Gesenius (OT), Wilson (OT), Vine's Expository Dictionary for New Testament words and Thayer (NT)), and my interlinear Bible have GREATLY enhanced my Bible studies which I have used to answer many people who search for Biblical answers to hard questions. I strongly recommend this text, especially to pastors and teachers of the Bible. This is in fact my second copy of this work, the first being given to a pastor friend of mine (who absolutely LOVES it). There are many aids in it to help you find passages of similar meaning (not necessarily the same word) as well as contrasting with passages of the opposite meaning. References are rated in how critical of a cross reference they are, and to where all of the references are listed in one section for that particular item you are studying. While I have never read the original Treasury, I find that this reference material is beyond just being helpful to the point of being a MAJOR part of my reference library.

This review is from: The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge: An easy-to-use one-volume library for Bible study and lesson preparation. (Hardcover)

I have been using the old edition of "The Treasury of Scriptue Knowledge" until this new edition came out. And I instantly love it! Here are the reasons:
1. Modernized typeset. The older edition was not good for reading, you had to strain your eyes to read, BUT this NEW edition has easy-to-read type, a big plus.
2. Revised and Expanded. The book revised some of the mistakes of the old edition and expanded more from it by adding addtional materials, such as: (a) 100,000 new cross references. (b) Indexes to specific Bible topics, names, prayers, etc. This is useful for topical studies. (c) Inclusion of "System Markings" that uses symbols to highlight what "information can be found at specific references -- whether fulfilled prophecy, similar word meanings, contrasting ideas, biblical types...etc." This system I really love! It saves me time and helps me organize the study effectively each verse.
3. Very sturdy binding. Hard cover and stitched binding (It was stitched binding when it first came out (1992,1993), but recently they changed it to glued binding). The paper's quality is excellent.

The only gripe I have is that it uses KJV of the Bible for entries (it is not available for other versions of the Bible). Well, you can have 'em all. In all, I found this new edition incredible and indispensible on my desk. For all those who love the Bible will love this tool for years to come.

I have I obtained my first copy of this work a few years ago. I find it invaluable in my biblical study and research work. Having reveiwed the original, I find that the aids included in NTSK opens your mind and stimulates thought in a Godly perspective. I loaned my first copt to a colleague and can't get him to return it. When I'm travelling, beides my Bible, The New Treasury of Scriptire Knowledge, and Strong's Concordance are the resources that go with me.
