This book is the NRSV equivelent of the famous Strongs Exhaustive Concordance to the KJV Bible. If you are serious about studying the NRSV, this is a must have resource. Compiled by a computer database, it has every instance of every word (including and and the) in the NRSV. Well wort the price!
Kohlenberger's comprehensive NRSV concordance is a great tool for any preacher or seminary student who works heavily out of the NRSV translation. It weighs a ton, of course, and that combined with the ready availability of Bible software is probably why it fell out of print so quickly. I personally still like to work with books laid out in front of me when I am preparing sermons, Bible study lessons, etc. If you are like that, this tool would be very helpful.Also, I was able to locate my copy, unused and still in the plastic, online from a college bookstore that was trying to unload old stock a few years ago. And I paid a very reasonable price. I found it using either 's Marketplace or a similar site like Alibris. So don't overpay for the first copy you see. You ought to still be able to find this title at plenty of used bookstores, either online or brick-and-mortar.One other note: Be wary of Kohlenberger's Concise Concordance to the NRSV, which was published by Oxford in 1993 and is still in print. I bought it first, thinking it might serve my purposes. But it is so concise that it can be more frustrating than helpful. If you really want a bound concordance and expect to use it regularly, I recommend locating and purchasing the unabridged edition.
This concordance is complete with a very useful topical index as well. It is truly complete, having every word used in the NRSV in it's listing. Generally, most serious students of the bible would consider the NRSV translation the most readable and precise translation in English today. We use a concordance because we often cannot memorize every single situation in the Bible that we might want to look up and read or use in a paper or talk etc. I have other concordances. What makes me so pleased with this edition is that it has a heavy paper that will not tear easily, it is bound well, lies open on the desk easily, the type is sharp and an acceptable point size and there is good contrast with the paper. The Indices are excellent and include an index to the footnotes even. I will treasure this book and use it regularly. It is especially helpful for me as a Catholic Priest because of the inclusion of the words in the Deuterocanonical books. I am most grateful to have this Concordance of the NRSV and in these days of financial stress it is a marvel to be able to have such a book at an astonishingly reasonable price. I have learned that it is useless to pay so much more when a used copy of books are often in really "like new" condition at a fraction of the new book price. Marketplace is such a great opportunity to have books many of us could not otherwise have.
Another reviewer mentioned that this concordance was the equivalent of the Strongs for the NRSV. I bought a used copy for $30+ only to discover that, unlike the Strongs Concordance, it doesn't provide the Hebrew/Greek word, transliteration, or definitions/synonyms. It does not even provide the Strongs number for each word so that you can cross reference them with a Strongs Concordance. This book only gives the references for every time each word appears in the Bible. I had expected more, both from the other reviews and because I own an NIV concordance by Kohlenberger which has all that information. Why include it all in the NIV concordance, but not in the NRSV? I'm pretty disappointed.
this is a must have for anyone studying the Bible, preparing Sunday school lessons and even just curious. It is a very LARGE book and doesn't lend itself to e carried around very easily. But it is the perfect companion to the version of the Bible used in the Episcopal church and having this reference tool really helps as I progress towards ordination and do workshops in my church.
