Rating:  Summary: Depth!! Review: Strong's Concordance is an absolute gold mine. In searching for the riches that God's word has to offer, there is no greater dictionary or lexicon better than Strong's. This concordance and dictionary helps the diligent student to separate identical words in the same context that may have different Hebrew and Greek meanings. In cross referencing, it aids the student in defining identical words that may have a different meaning based on the particular passage of scripture. There could be one word that we are familiar with in English that may have five different Hebrew or Greek translations. Strong's does an excellent job pointing the reader to the correct Hebrew/Greek interpretation whereby he or she can then search the English definition to add clarity. Preachers and teachers are encouraged to own and use this powerful tool for studying the word of God. I highly recommend this book for anyone who would desire to know what God determined that we should know in the original language. It will change your life completely. Strong's Concordance is a must have for your Biblical library. Kudos!

Rating:  Summary: Good book as long as you don't take it too far Review: Strong's is a good reference to words in the Bible. Every word in the Bible is indexed. Also includes Hebrew and Greek dictionaries that have some very good information on derivations. If you are a student of Greek or Hebrew as I am, I can tell you that having these derivations is a great aid in memorizing vocabulary, which is the hardest part of language learning for me. Anything that can make it easier is a great blessing.It is also very useful for the general student of the Bible. It provides definitions and cross-references of all word usages. The only thing that's a little hard to use is the "little words" listing - words like "the", "in", etc. They are listed separately, and that was done because of space reasons. My only gripe is in some of the words they included in this list, for example, "in". As a preposition I would consider that to be a pretty important word, and to relegate it to the hard-to-use brief index rather than the easy-to-use main concordance makes it much more difficult on us. The other thing is that serious students of Greek and Hebrew will want to have a more scholarly reference. Strong's is not considered really scholarly by many, and I must admit that they do things that I wish they wouldn't (for example, they don't differentiate between different forms of words, they jump lump them all together). Serious students of the original languages will want something more. But, note that I say "in addition to": I still like Strong's since it's classic, and is helpful to me in general Bible study as well as detailed language study. For the price (or even price-per-pound: this sucker weighs a ton!), it is an outstanding value.
Rating:  Summary: It's Strong's, for goodness' sake.. Review: That it's the exaustive Strong's, I give it 5 stars. But there's nothing "New" about this edition. It's the same old exaustive Strong's that's been out since Methusala. Same pages. Same ugly font. Same smelly acidic paper. Same wonderful, indespensible Strong's Concordance!
Rating:  Summary: Great for anyone who wants in-depth Bible Study Review: There are so many different ways this book can be helpful. It's great for anyone who wants to find a scripture passage but can only remember a few words from the passage or wants to compare how a certain word is used in different places in the Bible. You don't have to rely on a minister or other Bible scholar, you can find answers for yourself. I've found it most helpful when translating from Hebrew and Greek using the Hebrew and Greek dictionaries in the back. They actually make it possible to do some analysis of the Bible in the original languages without knowing Hebrew or Greek. I would recommend the exhaustive concordance over the concise one because there really isn't that much of a difference in price, and the exhaustive concordance has a lot more to offer. Of course, the concordance is based on the King James Version, but I've found that only really matters when you're using the concordance to help with translation.
