A concordance contains an alphabetical index of words used in the Bible and the main Bible references where the word occurs. A Bible concordance is useful in locating passages in the Bible. If you can remember just one word in a verse, you can often find what you’re looking for.
Most Bible publishers place a short concordance among the back pages of the Bible. Longer, more thorough concordances are available separately. If a concordance contains all the words in the Bible (including a, an, and the!), it is called an “exhaustive” concordance. The classic exhaustive Bible concordance is Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible.
Most concordances are related to a specific version of the Bible. To search for a print concordance in the library catalog, add the bible version to your search terms. For example, to find a concordance for a NIV Bible, search using: Bible concordance NIV
Exchange "NIV" for whatever version you want, such as the NRSV, English Standard, etc.
