STRONG'S
CONCORDANCE AND ALLIED BOOKS
When James Strong finished his Exhaustive Concordance in 1890 he
provided one of the first numbered codes to the English definitions of Hebrew
and Greek words. More recently his
numbers have been used to provide access to word study books alphabetized by
Hebrew or Greek letters. His numbers
have been printed (usually) in the margins of the pages of these newer or
reprinted books.

ADDITIONAL
CONCORDANCES
Since the publication of the New International Version of
the Bible, Kohlenberger, Swanson, and Goodrick have re-worked and updated the
numbering system introduced by Strong.
Kohlenberger and Swanson. Hebrew English
Concordance to the Old Testament with the New International Version Ref BS 1121 .K65 While it is arranged according to the Hebrew
words, there is a very detailed English-Hebrew & Aramaic index. There is
also “A Concise Hebrew-English Dictionary to the Old Testament” with Resource
References to the lexicons of Brown, Driver, and Briggs; Koehler and

has a very detailed English-Greek index. It also has “A Concise Greek-English
Dictionary to the New Testament” with Resource References to the word study set
by Colin Brown and lexicon by Bauer, Arndt, Gingrich, and Danker.
COMMENTARIES
A commentary is a book of
expositions on a portion of Scripture.
Researchers should use commentaries to find information for use in an
EXEGESIS. Exegetical commentaries tend to
go verse by verse while devotional commentaries tend to cover only the
"better known" portions and supply extensive supplemental
illustrations, etc.
Anchor Bible Ref BS 192.2 .A1 1964 This includes the
Apocrypha.
Gaebelein. Expositor's
Bible Commentary Ref
BS 491.2 .E96 It has extensive
introductory notes covering background of the book of the Bible and an outline
of the book.
Harris. Complete
Biblical Library Ref

Testament commentary. The companion set
covering the New Testament is available at Ref BS 491.2 .C65x.

New International Commentary on the
New Testament
(NICNT) Ref BS
2341.2 .N4
New International Commentary on the
Old Testament
(NICOT) Ref BS
1151.2 .N48
Tyndale New Testament Commentaries Ref BS 2341.2 .T9
United Bible Societies. Handbook Series Ref BS 2385 .U3x This series has exegetical,
historical, cultural, and linguistic information on the books of the Bible.
Word Biblical Commentary Ref BS 491.2 .W67 It has introductory notes covering the background
and outline of each book, plus separate bibliographies for each portion of
Scripture.
VERSIONS OF
THE BIBLE
Researchers should use different
versions/translations of the Bible to help gain an insight into what was
written in the original text. Examples
might include:
King James Authorized Ref BS 185 1985
Living Bible, Paraphrased Ref BS 550.2 .T38
New American Standard Bible (NASB) Ref BS 195 .N35 1977
New International Version (NIV) Ref BS 195 .N37 1978
TOPICAL
SEARCH AIDS
To locate scriptural passages covering
similar topics, researchers may use a topical search aid. Examples are given below:
Day. Roget’s Thesaurus of the Bible Based on Revised
Standard, NIV, New American Standard, and King James versions. Ref BS 432 .D39x
Nave. Nave’s Topical Bible Based on King James text Ref BS 432 .N3
BOOKS
To locate books look in the Online
Public Access Catalog (OPAC) under the subject heading, Bible. This heading has many subdivisions. To find information on a certain book of the
Bible use the pattern, "Bible N.T. Matthew," "Bible O.T.
Genesis." Some related terms are
"Bible N.T. Commentaries," "Bible Concordances," "Bible Criticism, Interpretation,
Etc." For a complete list of
related headings, check the red volumes, Library
of Congress Subject Headings, kept close to the terminals in the
Reference Room.
PERIODICAL
ARTICLES
The best way to find periodical or
journal articles is in periodical index such as:
ATLA Serials This electronic index includes what is
published in Religion Index One:
Periodicals, Religion Index Two:
Multi-Author Works, and Index
to Book Reviews in Religion.
Christian Periodical Index (on paper and online) This indexes
over 100 conservative Christian publications.
Online and paper index.
Guide to Social Science and Religion
in Periodical Literature It includes
denominational periodicals. For articles on the Bible, look under, "New Testament
literature" or "Old Testament literature." Online .
New Testament Abstracts
Look at the index on the front cover.
There is also a scripture text index in the last issue of the volume. (A
similar set, Old Testament Abstracts, may be used in the AGTS Library
next door.)
