5.0 out of 5 stars Slightly better for word studies than Strong's, October 19, 2002

This review is from: Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible (Hardcover)

Young's concordance has been a favorite among Bible students for many years.

Although Strong's is more popular and has its strengths, Young's is better for word studies due in part to the way it "analyzes" English words.

For instance, most students know that several Greek or Hebrew words can be translated by one English word. Young shows this by analyzing the English word showing all of the Greek or Hebrew words it translates and then lists the verses containing each occurrence of the various Greek or Hebrew words. This makes for more accurate word studies.

Highly recommended. One caveat: this is the original version and not the corrected and updated version.

5.0 out of 5 stars A huge help, March 3, 2005

This review is from: Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible (Hardcover)

I purchased my first Young's concordance by accident. I was in the process of trying to figure out for myself, which was the most accurate English language rendition of the original Hebrew and Greek scriptures that I could lay my hands on. <That turned out to be the New American Standard> So I went down to a local Christian bookstore, and the only concordance they happened to have in stock was the Young's.
Granted, it is based on the King James Bible, so you sometimes need to refer to one when searching for the Hebrew or Greek word/s that are related to a particular verse. The Young's is comprehensive and extremely easy to use. With the Young's, all you need do is look up the English word you are seeking and then you can see the Hebrew or Greek, all of their inflections, and all of the verses in which they are used, right there.
Strong's also has it's uses, and I have a Strong's as well, but my Young's gets the greater use as it is easier and faster to use than the Strong's, where you have to look up the word, and then look up the Hebrew or Greek according to a reference number. Both concordances are excellent. But I prefer to use the Young's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why I like it better than Strongs, February 26, 2000

By 

Chris French (Groton, CT) - See all my reviews

Most concordances let you trace an English word through the Bible. But, is it really the same word? Is ``infirmity'' astheneo (weakness) or nesos (sickness) in this verse? Both Youngs and Strongs give you the Hebrew or Greek word. However, Youngs gives you all the translations of the ``original'' word, so that you can trace just that word. One English word may actually be several different Hebrew or Greek words. Likewise, one Hebrew or Greek word may actually be translated by several English words. Straighten it all out with Youngs, without having to become a language scholar.
