Rating: Summary: WAY OVERRATED, a big disappointment Review: After high hopes and much anticipation I found this much lauded book to be virtually useless. For example, in the English section the word "know" wasn't covered in the biblical sense (to copulate with or to sleep with). I suppose I could have found this archaic meaning in Merriam-Webster, but then why have Strong's? I am not a divinity student and I don't read God's word in Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, or Latin, and I doubt if many lay people do, so I will likely donate this book to the local library where it will collect dust.I would give this book zero stars if I could.

Rating: Summary: For those who always wanted Strongs Definitions separately.. Review: Finally, Strong's Greek and Hebrew dictionaries are available as a separate volume for the serious student of God's word. You can look up a word in an index and then find the word in the dictionaries--all without the added weight of a full-blown Strong's. Oh the joy...oh the rapture. (Excuse me, I got a little carried away...) This delightful tome is highly recommended!
Rating: Summary: Excellent context helper for serious bible student Review: My heartfelt approval goes to this review of marvelous work done by James Strong. I saw somebody's review of this excellent book and it got a single star. I have been studying the bible daily with this book. There are actually no problems for me, I give it five stars. Because if this book is used in the proper way, in fact it will contribute greatly to your understanding of the bible. It would be unwise to depreciate this excellent work. However, you have to be patient at first, it requires some of your patience to understand the working of this book.

Rating: Summary: More aptly titled "Strong's Incomplete Dictionary" Review: The contents of this book is based on the KJV Bible. It is at best, an abridged dictionary. For a SERIOUS bible scholar, this book is useless. This book was given 1 star because there isn't a 0 star rating. Received and returned same day.
Rating: Summary: Just The Facts Mam Review: This book is not for everyone that's for sure. It seems to have an exhaustive list of words that it covers but it doesn't give you any details of their meanings. Although it very briefly, and I do mean breifly, defines a few words it seems to be more of a thesaurus than anything else. Also there are no graphics at all. Not so much as a drawing. So if you want more than wham bam thank you mam then look elsewhere. Other than that. Go ahead and have fun. Knock yourself out.
