The Strongest NASB Exhaustive Concordance

i expect an exhaustive concordance to show me every verse a specific word is in. Works that way in the OT but not the NT

I've used and loved Strong's for several decades, and now have grown quite fond of this book as well. In depth study using the NASB is really incomplete without it, for the translating style and texts just differ too much between KJV and NASB, and that would have to be confusing to the serious student if you couldn't compare. There's no reason for that to happen! This book is well worth the investment.

If you use the Updated NASB this concordance is almost a "must have." It gives you a list of every word one could use to find a verse as well as the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek word underlying the English translation. It allows you to see for yourself the original word and the ways it has been translated and the number of times it has been translated that way.

I don't use Strong's Concordance anymore. After years of classes in the Biblical languages I don't need it. However, for years while in college when I was first beginning serious study of the Bible on my own and encountering different theologies and interpretations of passages, Strong's was my daily companion. If you don't have the luxury (or for some the burden) of having studied the Biblical languages, but you want to begin to do serious study of the Bible on your own, then there is no real substitute for Strong's. There are plenty of other very helpful reference works, but nothing fills the niche that it does. Now that my wife has begun study like this on her own I enthusiastically bought this for her. Happily, Strong's has been updated so that Bible students are not tied to the King James Version as they once were. I am not at all suggesting you give up other word studies or helps or commentaries, but Strong's is an important step towards serious, independent Bible study. If this is where you are at, then make sure Strong's is one of your frequently used reference works.

This concordance is truly amazing in its completeness. Applies to King James and New Jerusalem translations also. Verses can be located by a single word. Thank you!!

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.
