Nave's Topical Bible

Summary: A topical Bible Excellent for Study and Preparing Messages
Review: A good topical Bible is needed for subject studies and for preparing messages.

The Nave's Topical Bible can assist the novice and the expert review scriptures by topic and it tends to be pretty exhaustive. There are times where other related scriptures are listed as opposed to quoted. This is a great resource if we are seeking scriptures to instruct us on various topics about living life. Also subjects about people in scripture or just any topic is listed.

Anyone using this can do so as a jump off point to additional studies and Naves is the best for your buck.

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 Much of the language is outdated and it is sometimes hard to determine what heading the verses you might be looking for are under.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.
