 A great work of referrence, PRICELESS to a TRUE BIBLE SCHOLAR! November 23, 2008
M. Coffman (NC, USA)
Well to those who think that the words Rapture or Trinity are in the bible, they probbably don't want to buy this book, because they are not in the bible in the original texts.
But the most important name in the bible appears in this work... namely that of Jehovah. He is the one to whom spoke to Abraham. He is Jesus father, and oh yes his name is in the original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic; nearly seven thousand times. I have included some prime examples of why this work is so good: on page 385 it says the divine name in Hebrew:
Entry: 3068 Yehovah yeh-ho-vaw'; from 1961;(the) self-Existent or Eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God:-- Jehovah, the Lord. Comp. 3050, 3069.
Entry: 3069 Yehovih, yeh-ho-vee'; a var. of 3068 [used after 136, and pronounced by Jews as 430 in order to prevent the repetition of the same sound, since they elsewhere pronounce 3068 as 136]:-God.
And the entries of 3070, 3071, 3072, 3073, and 3074 (to see what they are you'll have to buy the book.) in which in each instance God's name is correctly translated. Oh... they didn't speak Latin in Bible times. That came only much later after the first council of Nicea. {This period in between these times is commonly known as the "DARK AGES" and aptly so.} And by that time much corruption had set into people who professed to revere the Bible. And most educated people realize that by the time Martin Luther came upon the seen... just owning the bible was punishable by death. Furthermore he translated a bible into the people's language himself, in order to help people to get to know the truth about the bible.
This work by strong is almost as important, if you are studying the bible closely the truth's contained in the bible are truely evident. Although in honesty this book may be over the heads of some beginners, in which group I consider myself to be only a beginner. And I've studied the bible for 28 years. But just for some of the other beginners who want to know the truth look up Exodus 6:3, Psalms 83:18; Isaiah 12:2; and Isaiah 26:4, and if you have a bible version which doesn't have the divine name there... you should ask yourself why has it been REMOVED?
But not to sway anyone personal belief's one way or another, I've spent 5 hours already looking thru this book and find it absolutely incrediable. It is as if God speaks directly to you with no brainwashing if you have this book. On my scale of 1-10 this book if used correctly ranks 777.
Excellent!!!! A Great Tool. May 24, 2006

For those who posted negative comments, I would strongly recommend getting an Interlinear Greek/Hebrew Bible with Strong's numbering. For me, this is an awesome tool to have in your Christian arsenal, but if you don't have an Interlinear Greek Bible it may seem confusing since the entries are listed numerically according to Strong's numbering system. For me, I wouldn't want this book without the Interlinear Bible.
You won't be disappointed if you use this tool the way it was meant to be used. A hammer will disappoint you if you use it to paint your living room. But to hammer a nail...
Unlike the Strong's "Exhaustive" Concordance, the type size is a pleasant size (12 point, I'm guessing) and the overall size of the book is not so massive that it makes it unmanageable.
I love this book and recommend it to anyone wanting to get their feet wet in the understanding of Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic.

The original works of James Strong are excellent, however in the case of some of these newer books where Dr. Strong's work has been "corrected" are not so good. Corrected means shot full of errors. For example, I understand that many believe in the rapture, however the word rapture does not exist in the Bible, it is a work of man. I was so disappointed to see references to rapture in a bible dictionary because belief in the rapture alters the entire understanding of the New Testament. If I were given the option I would have given it a 0.
Junk, nothing but junk. March 30, 2005

The Strong's dictionary of the bible is nothing but junk. What it really is is half of the Strong's concordance made into a book. So if you have a concordance it is absolutely useless.
WAY OVERRATED, a big disappointment June 19, 2003

After high hopes and much anticipation I found this much lauded book to be virtually useless. For example, in the English section the word "know" wasn't covered in the biblical sense (to copulate with or to sleep with). I suppose I could have found this archaic meaning in Merriam-Webster, but then why have Strong's? I am not a divinity student and I don't read God's word in Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, or Latin, and I doubt if many lay people do, so I will likely donate this book to the local library where it will collect dust.I would give this book zero stars if I could.
