Summary: A Must Have
Review: If I was told that I could only have my Bible plus three other books for sermon and Bible study preparation, the three choices would have to be Strongs concordance, a good Bible dictionary, and Nave's Topical Bible.

Nave's has more than 20,000 topics leading to over 100,000 scripture references providing Biblical insight on a multitude of subjects. Just as importantly, this is no flash-in-the-pan, here-today-out-of-print-tomorrow study tool. Nave's has withstood the test of time and met the needs of millions of users down through the years. This is a work that no clergyman or serious reader of the Bible should be without.

Summary: Dated but a superb tool for theological analysis
Review: This is a logical grouping of verses based on the topics they deal with. This is the perfect tool if you want to know all the verses that apply to a certain topic. The only critique is that Nave's needs to be updated. Much of the language is outdated and it is sometimes hard to determine what heading the verses you might be looking for are under. For instance, greed is under Covetousness. While this instance has a cross-reference pointing you to the right heading, many words do not. Despite this critique, this is one of the best resources for Bible study.

Summary: A Valuable Help, Well Bound
Review: This is an indispensable tool in any family's study of the Bible, particularly for young readers, for topical studies or for moments when you would use Strong's but cannot remember the exact wording of a passage.

The binding of this edition is of better quality than the slightly less expensive version offered by Nelson, and while the paper stock will tend to yellow and brittle with age, this edition should be able to take a decade or two of heavy use without exhaustion.

An excellent, affordable resource. Highly recommended.
