Is there an online Catholic concordance?

Bible gateway.com is a protestant site. I keep seeing references on here to protestant websites or websites where we can buy a concordance. You would think that there is a Catholic out there somewhere that would put up an online concordance that you can use for a reference without buying something.

Wow, that looks excellent.

Looks as easy to use as eSword, the one I presently use which is free and has bunches of free translations including many Greek versions, Hebrew, Strong’s full concordance, writings of the fathers, maps, etc. While it is done by a Protestant, it is quite an excellent resource.
 
I have used the Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance for the King James Version. it was cheap enough when I got it, at around $22.

I like its features, especially with the Hebrew and Greek dictionaries in the back.

Strong’s lists the occurrences of a word, and then lists the numeric entry in either the Hebrew or Greek dictionary.

I’ve personally moved on beyond concordances and am using the best commentaries which I can find, which take care of the function of the concordance for me.

none of the features that I’ve described have been highlighted in any of the preceding posts. I would not be shopping for a Catholic concordance unless it was at least as good as Strong’s, which I can make do with.

Maybe I’m confused, but there’s one feature that’s NOT in Strong’s: There, you look up the word, like “fish” and see all the places where “fish” is in the English translation. Each entry has a number indicating the underlying Hebrew or Greek word. But, when you go to the Hebrew or Greek dictionary, you can’t find all the places where that Hebrew or Greek word is used. ( I think what I just said makes sense. It’s only been curiosity that makes me think of having this feature. I’m not sure how much I’d be willing to pay for it.)

I’m reading the Jewish Publication Society’s Commentaries on the Torah. there’s four different authors for the five Torah commentaries. In the Numbers and Deuteronomy commentaries, they are often cross-referencing words or phrases or verses in at least five of the oldest manuscripts (Masoretic, Samaritan, Qumran, Septuagint, and another one).
SO…an ordinary concordance for let’s say the RSV-2CE would only go “so far” as the manuscripts that it is based on, not all the ancient texts, which have different words and such, from time to time. thus, one should be aware of the limitations of these references.

I’m talking like I’m some expert, but I’m not. I’m just a reader and I’ve run into this stuff, which I am simply passing on.
 
Hi, Crumpy,

Do you know of an on-line Catholic Commentary?

God bless

e-Sword does that for you, Crumpy and it’s free.
 
Last year, a student at my high school moncler doudoune femme plotted to kill about 20 others including other students and teachers. He fortunately was caught. However, I still do not feel safe going to school and worry in the years to come about college safety… . veste moncler homme What can be done to make schools safer?.
 
Hi, Melekali,

I went to e-Sword, but this is done by a Quaker or Friends husband & wife team. Yes it is free - but, I do not think it is Catholic.

I was impressed with their web-page, and the fact that they announced in accordance with Matthew’s verse, “Freely have you received, freely will you give.”

I am guessing that you have used e-Sword, have you noticed any divergence from Catholic teaching? For example, how does John 6:21-71 in e-Sword compare with Catholic teaching?

God bless

Hi, TimothyH,

It looks like there is a problem on the site:

**Perlmonk.org Status Page

Perlmonk.org is currently down. The hardware serving this domain has experienced an existential crisis and transcended to a lower plane. The hard disk was salvaged and is currently in the hands of a competent individual (not myself!) who will be uploading the data and restoring services on a “cloud server” (“Mr. Cumulus, would you like another drink, sir?”).

We regret any and all past, present and future inconviences this has/is/will cause. Please check back again soon to see if perlmonk.org has been restored to its former glory, or if it’s still wallowing in a pit of despair, waiting for the aforementioned competent in-duh-vidual to tend to its misery.

This is a static page.

God bless

Jeff Pinyan has a concordance for NAB at japhy.perlmonk.org/bible/nab-search.cgi.

Works great.

Hi, Phyllo,

I, too, found the “Page Not Found” announcement, but was unable to go beyond that.

Did you find an on-line DR concordance, and, if so, would you kindly provide the link?

Thanks

Tom
