Summary: Great Concordance!
Review: BOOK REVIEW:A concordance is like an index; you look up a word, and it will tell you where that word can be found. For example, if you were to look up Jesus in a biblical concordance, the concordance will give you the passages (e.g. Mt 1:1) where the word can be found. "The Strongest Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible" is a really great concordance! In the concordance, you will find many neat things; some of them include - "A Brief History of the Strongest Strong's Exhaustive Concordance Project" in the preface
- An introduction that talks about James Strong and concordances in general; improvements made in this concordance from the previous concordance; and the features of this concordance; and a separate, but with more details than the one included in the features of the concordance included in the introduction, page on the "Features of the Main Concordance". The book is thick and there are many passages included in the concordance. What I really like about this concordance is that the passages that contain the words of Jesus Christ are highlighted in gray. Also, the concordance has "Nave's Topical Bible Reference System" (without the biblical text). Other features include: - "Weights, Lengths adn Measures of the Bible"
- Hebrew-Armaic to English and Greek to English dictionaries
- "Chronology of the Bible"
- Maps
- Indexes to "Major Social Concerns of the Mosaic Covenant", "Old Testament Sacrifices", "Hebrew Calendar", "Hebrew Feasts and Holy Days", "Kings of the Bible", "Harmony of the Gospels", "Prophecies of the Messiah Fulfilled in Jesus", "Parables of Jesus", and "Miracles of Jesus". The only thing I don't like about the concordance is the pages. The pages are very thin--it seems like they can be wrinkled very easily and the printing from the previous/following pages shows through the page. Overall, the concordance is very good.

Summary: Still the best - reflects current scholarship
Review: How do you improve on the most exhaustive King James concordance in existence? John R. Kohlenberger III and James A. Swanson took on this task and have made several improvements. The first thing they did was to fix several minor errors in previous versions. Then they included words that were italicized in the Cambridge King James Version. This is important because these represent words that were not in the original text but were supplied in translation to help the reader understand the text. Finally, they computer verified the accuracy of the text. Because of this they state that this is the most accurate Strong's concordance to ever be published.
Really nice features include sensitivity to translational problems such as the need to sometimes use multiple words to translate a single word because the destination language doesn't contain a similar word. Because of this problem these multiple words are included as a set and matched against the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek word.
The Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek dictionaries have also been updated from previous editions to reflect current Biblical scholarship. At the back of the book are some additional reference materials that are pretty unusual for a concordance. These materials include things like a Hebrew calendar, sacred days listing, weights and measures information, and a harmony of the gospels.
Still the best King James concordance available and the best value for your money The Strongest Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible is highly recommended.
I've read some of the reviews here that indicate problems with this concordance including the one that complains that it does not have the reference to Luke in Philemon 1:24. Please take the time to note that this is a concordance of the King James Version and so it says Lucas and not Luke in that passage, etc.

Summary: Very thorough
Review: I actually bought this concordance for some friends, yet had a chance to look it over before giving it to them, and was impressed with all its features...yet I found one drawback (hence the 4 stars instead of 5): it does not have the "....." between the KJV translation of the Hebrew/Greek word and the Strong's number.
For example, using "Angel" as the translated word, this is what I mean by the "....":
Ge. 16:7 the a of the Lord found her by a..................4397 This is a minor inconvenience until one attempts to do massive word-studies, then it becomes nearly impossible to "trace" the word to the number (at times I've had to count up or down whole collumns to make sure I have the right number - very time consuming). Thomas Nelson publishers do this in their versions, so I recomend you look at their versions if you want the "...". Other than that, I think this is a great resource.

Summary: Many extras and tools.
Review: I like the overall design of this concordance as it is user friendly with its many tools. The concordance also helps directly in understanding difficult text. If you like bible help books I wish to also recommend another good helper, SB: 1 or God by Karl Maddox.

Summary: Easier to use than previous versions!
Review: I purchased this book when it first hit the bookstores and I must say that it is easier to use than the previous Strong's Concordances. The definitions are much easier to understand than the the "New Strong's Exahustive Concordance." I love it. I am purchasing one for a Pastor friend of mine. I must admit that the book seems more fragile than the previous version and it is smaller. Every Christian should have one of these.

Summary: NOT Recommened
Review: I thought this was a good Strong's until I went to look up a word and knew immediately that Mr. R. Kohlenberger and James Swanson had changed the number for a word that needed not be changed. So having one word that referred me to the wrong number in the Hebrew there is no way I would trust using this Strong's to do my studies. I have been a Bible student for many years, so I knew better when I saw this BIG mistake, but for a new student, they would never know the difference. So this is why I do not recommend this book. Get a different Strong's, preferable one that is unabridged and complete. If you can get the older ones, do so. Now I did like haveing the Nave's in this book and the other features, but you can get them seperatly.

Summary: Reference missing
Review: I was somewhat shocked when the first thing that I looked up in my new Strongest Strong's was short on production. I checked out references to Luke (as opposed to Lucius). Only 2 of the 3 mentions in the Bible were given! Philemon 24 was missing! I got that reference from the much smaller and cheaper "The New World Dictionary-Concordance to the New American Bible," copyright 1970. My problem now is that I cannot trust Stongest Strong's lists as being thorough.
