The Strongest NASB Exhaustive Concordance (Strongest Strong's)

When NASB first came out, it was widely popular for Bible Studies because of its emphasis on literal translation from original Hebrew and Greek. Therefore NASB has been hailed as most accurate English Bible to date. Now, the NASB has been updated in 1995, modernizing some words and enhancing grammatical structure for readibility without compromising original NASB's accuracy.And Zondervan has been wonderful for providing NASB Updated owners with its excellent Exhaustive Concordance! As many believers know, the value of exhaustive concordance is indiscribable for personal Bible Study. When Strong's Exhaustive Concordance for KJV came out, it revolutionalized the Bible Study and made believers' life much easier. Likewise, for NASB users, this is most valuable asset next to the Bible itself.1. The Strongest NASB Exhaustive Concordance (SNEC) is the ONLY Exhaustive Concordance out there for NASB. Initially, it was published by Foundation Publisher, but they sold the rights to Zondervan who actually made the concordance much better: (a) in more clear typeset. (b) in smaller size and weight than the previous one. (c) in overall quality (of cover design, binding, and the paper).2. SNEC is must have because: (a) It lists ALL the words of the NASB updated in alphabetical order with corresponding Bible references, so that you can quickly find the word(s) of the Bible easily. (b) It also includes the Strong's number for each word of the NASB. This is important for those who use additional Strong's references. You can use Strong's references without using KJV. (c) It includes corresponding Hebrew-Aramaic and Greek dictionaries for each NASB word [each entry is numbered with Strong's number]. This will help the readers know how the original word is used [and translated] in NASB -- providing insightful shades of meaning of the original. (d) Helpful instructions are given for use of the concordance and dictionaries.In sum, if you own NASB Updated, then you need this tool for serious Bible Study. I love using it and I am confident that you will too.

I have the NASB and this concordance is very useful.

This exhaustive concordance is a lighter weight than previous versions, without compromising on any of the value delivered. When used with the very literal New American Standard Bible (NASB) it enables English-speaking persons who do not know Greek to be able to study the Bible with great effectiveness. (I should add that this book is published in editions for other English translations, some of which are more literal than others; I recommended the more literal, though all have value.)When you're reading a passage of Scripture and a certain word stands out to you, you can then look that word up in the concordance and find out where the same word is used elsewhere in Scripture. Seeing the same word used in multiple and varied contexts will give you a much clearer and certain sense of its range of meaning. This will immeasurably enrich your understanding of the original passage you were reading, not to mention all the other passages you reviewed.The more important a subject is, the more often the Bible talks about it. And there is no better commentary on the Bible than the Bible itself. A concordance enables you to let one part of the Bible comment on another part. This concordance when combined with the NASB (or other literal English translation) will open the Bible's meaning to the reader perhaps more than any other single study tool that could be used.

I'm a fan of two of the Lockman Foundation's greatest works, the NASB and The Amplified Bible. Until now, I'd had to use my Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, that had been created for the venerable KJV. Though not the best "fit," it did work...The Strongest NASB Exhaustive Concordance is a wonderful addition to my working library. Fast, concise, straight-up interpretations/meanings of each word. (Yes, there certainly is a difference between the NASB and the KJV... Not just hundreds of years, but the English language has changed, greatly, over that period of time...) The Strongest NASB Concordance is worth every penny, for the serious student...Do I recommend this book? YES! The Strongest NASB Concordance is a "must!" for anyone blessed to have an New American Study Bible (NASB). Five out of a possible Five Stars...

This confirms and expands the info I need to learn more about the times and language meanings from back in the day. A great enhancement to my study Bible. So much info, so little time.

This book is a must-have for any Christian who wants to engage in serious bible study. The content itself is invaluable. However, I purchased a "new" book, but I would describe it as "like new" or perhaps a little below that. The pages are sort of wavy as if the book was stored in a humid place for a long time which caused the pages to become warped. Also, the corners of some of the pages were folded over. They were folded over in bunches, so it's possible this was due to careless handling during packaging. The book is still 100% useable, so I decided to keep it rather than exchange it. Though I was somewhat disappointed when I recieved, as when you order a new book there is an expectation that it will be in pristine condition.
