Customer Reviews

You cannot beat the original
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.

FANTASTIC!
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.

Study the Original Bible text w/o knowing Hebrew or Greek
Strong's Concordance is the bridge for non-Hebrew/Greekspeaking students of the Bible to be able to study the meanings of thewords of the original Hebrew and Greek texts of the Old and New Testament. The concise appendix dictionary of Hebrew and Greek word definitions is a good place to start, but other lexicons are more thorough, such as (1) Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament and (2) Zodhiates' Complete Word Study Dictionary: New Testament.

Strong's is the standard for word numbering used by most lexicons. What James Strong could have never fathomed is that the numbering of the words of the Bible in their alphabetical sequence actually corresponds to modern-day numbers, such as years, addresses, phone numbers, places which are key to the latter-day fulfilment of the covenants. It is James Strong who was the unwitting instrument of this uncanny miracle of God.
