The Crossway Comprehensive Concordance of the Holy Bible: English Standard Version

Summary: Comprehensive standard concordance
Review: In this volume, Mounce offers a standard concordance of the English Standard Version of the Holy Bible. This includes a straight index of all words except the c. 100 most common ("a", "about", "after", "against", "all", "also", "am", "among", "an", "and", "are", etc.)

For every word occurence it includes the reference and immediate context. For example, the entries for 'Beholds' are:
riddles, and he B the form of the Lord. Nm 12:8
has looked on it; man B it from afar. Jb 36:25

This does not include source language references. On the one hand, as a corcordance of an excellent translation -- hopefully soon the de facto English language standard as the KJV once was -- it is a useful reference book. On the other hand, I am not sure of the place a paper concordance has in an electronic world, especially since it does not add any new content such as source language: I find myself rather using the CD included with the version of the ESV Bible I bought.
