For those still using the AV Stongest Strongs is certainly an improvement over the original Strongs in that the dictionary definitions have been improved. However the paper quality is abyssmal - so thin it is difficult not to damage pages, print shows through the paper from the opposite side, and any annotations show right through.
Users of other versions should use the appropriate Exhaustive Concordance for their versions - I know ones exist for NASB, NIV, and NKJV. Kohlenberger seems to start work as soon as a new version appears!
I purchased this particular concordance because I do not like using those which are online. I would rather have a book. 'Strongest Strong's' is remarkable and I am never disappointed when I use it. It is accurate - one might even be forced to say, very accurate - and wonderfully helpful.
What does it contain? It includes a full concordance of every word in the Authorised Version of the English Bible and a full, far more up-to-date and accurate dictionary at the back of Hebrew and Greek words. This edition also has Nave's Topical Reference at the back, which seems a little random, but this is sort of like a Thompson Chain Reference. Certainly I have found it useful. There are also a few other little things, such as a list of the Old Testament kings and a few black and white maps. Overall, it is an extremely handy volume and I reckon it is one of the best books I have bought since I decided to follow Jesus.
I will make a quick, but important note on the study of Hebrew words. I do not know Hebrew. That was a problem. This concordance does not make clear that Hebrew words change their meanings, sometimes rather drastically, based upon the word form. So whilst the same Strong's number is used for the same root Hebrew word, that does not mean that every definition of that word listed by this concordance is the correct meaning. For example, you will notice for the verbs of Hebrew words, that in the definitions section at the back, Strong's has such meanings = Strong's number 3047: [Q] to hold, to have; [N] to carry, to bare, etc. I just made that up to illustrate the point. [Q] and [N] are clearly different forms of the same root word: but it affects the meaning in English. "To have" and "to carry" are different, you see? I have had this concordance for about a year now and I only just spotted this the other day. However, this is not necessarily a problem. You can determine which groups of words are correct definitions, even if you have no idea how Hebrew works. For example, if my English sentence in the Authorised Version says "I hold ... ", then I know that the Hebrew form being used is of the [Q] stream. Thus, "to have" or "to hold" would be valid translations, but not necessarily "to carry" or "to bare". If you happen to be a teacher of the word, this is an important point. Fortunately, the issue is not as significant in the New Testament, because Greek does not do this.
Anyways, I regard this concordance as essential to my biblical studies and in-depth exegesis of the text. I recommend it along with the 4 volume set of 'The Interlinear Bible'. Both together, these are almost priceless. O what the rest of our Christian brothers and sisters would have given to have these resources we have today so freely available to us! Use them with benefit.
It is a prefect study tool. Read more
