5.0 out of 5 stars the next book to buy after your Bible, May 25, 2000

By	"shofar" (Kissimmee, Florida United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, Complete and Unabridged (Paperback)

I am surprised that there aren't more reviews on this book. Next to your Bible, a concordance and a Bible dictionary are the two most likely candidates for serious students of the Word, and Strong's Exhaustive Concordance is by far the most popular concordance, hands down. Whenever I do a study, you can be assured that I use the concordance to either look up verses, find out how many times a word is used, or find the basic meaning of a word in the original language. As a concordance it is great, but for word studies you will probably need a dictionary or lexicon that will give greater detail in their definitions. But this should not stop you from purchasing the book, because almost all other modern references now use the Strong's numbering system. So, start with Strong's, use it as your concordance and do use it for the basic definitions, but then as you progress you can purchase other reference volumes that will give you more information but will still utilize the same numbering system. Although the hardback is tremendous, I prefer the softcover edition. It is not as large and bulky, usually costs less, and it can fit inside of your briefcase.

5.0 out of 5 stars You cannot beat the original, March 22, 2004

By	Robert Wynkoop (Washington State) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Strong's Exhaustive Concordance (Hardcover)

Although it has been twenty years since I have used my KVJ Bible, Strongs is still the best. It has been my number one Bible study tool for almost thirty years of ministry. I do not know what I would do without it. Over the years, I have tried to use contemporary concordances but have found them wanting. Nothing is as exhaustive of a resource as Strongs.

For students who lack training in the original languages, the numbering system and Greek and Hebrew lexicons in the back or invaluable aids to Bible study. It gives the student non-technical access to the original languages. And for the most part, it does a pretty good job.

Any weaknesses? Only a few. Occasionally I find a word that Strong overlooked, but they are few and far between. Considering that this massive research was done without the aid of a computer, this is really an amazing feat. I have tried them all and you cannot beat the original.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC!, September 8, 2001

By	palcat (Silicon Valley CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Strong's Exhaustive Concordance (Hardcover)

Any bible student will love having this fantastic concordance.
I learned so much from being able to cross reference all parts
of the Old and New Testament to my hearts desire, in 3 ancient
languages. It's easy to use, it is absolutely comprehensive, and
I know I learned more about the Bible in a year than some people
who have studied the Bible for 20 years. Even if you just have
a proud home library of reference books, this should be in it.
