Can anyone recommend a good concordance? Needs to be user friendly but thorough. Used a concise concordance once but did not write down the author or anything.
Thanks
Eric
 
Just get Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance and use the King James Bible as a kind of “translator” of the Catholic Bible.

I know this will upset some, here, but its not my fault that the efforts by the Church to concordize the Catholic version of the Bible are lousy.
 
If you carefully review the chain reference notes referring to the Psalms at the bottoms of the pages of the New American Bible for Catholics, you’ll see that a lot of the references are one verse off.

That is because the Protestant verse numbering system does not recognize the introductory notes in front of many Psalm’s as a verse, so that many of the Psalms in the Protestant Bible have one verse less than the Catholic Bible. Because the Vatican Committees generating the Catholic Bible used Protestant materials, too, many of the chain reference notes referring to the Psalms are one verse off.
 
I like the KJV Thompson chain study bible along with Strongs exhaustive concordance. I keep my catholic bible[new am. standard] for the missing books. 😃 God Bless
 
Both the above suggestions are non-Catholic, but I recommend that you get the exhaustive concordance to the New American Bible since that is the one tied to our liturgy. Also please bear in mind that you have a computer right there and every online Bible you access has a search feature which is about the most exhaustive concordance that you can possibly need. ❤️ :bible1:
 
This is kinda shoot-and-miss, but if you have a PalmOS-based handheld, you might want to consider installing Bible+ and the Revised Standard Version text (1971). This RSV text is complete, but does not include all the modifications to the Catholic Edition New Testament (although the longer ending of Mark and the beginning of John 8 have been restored) and the Deuterocanonical books (“Apocrypha”) are in “ecumenical” order (including separated DC sections of Daniel and Esther), but otherwise complete and suitable for Catholics.

Bible+ has a great search feature. It ties in nicely with my RSV-CE. My Tungsten E has both the RSV and the Septuagint/Greek New Testament.

palmbibleplus.sourceforge.net/

It’s open-source too. 🙂

Hi, Mike.

Could you please post a hyperlink to the Amazon screen regarding the exhaustive concordance for the NAB. I did not know that one existed, and I teach Catholic Bible study.

Hey, my priest recommends “Strongs”… Being a former “Bible Christian” myself, I of course have a well worn Strongs… But these days I find those obscure verses with “Google” just as quickly… Still, its worth having a Strongs (if for no other reason then to impress your Fundamentalist friends)!

Grace & Peace,
