MrsFrozen Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I am buying a NRSV Bible and I would also like to purchase a concordance. I'm having trouble, because I have a sneaking suspicion that many of the concordances on Amazon.com don't include the deuterocanonicals. Can anyone recommend a useful (and inexpensive!) concordance? Thanks and God bless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeodatus Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 MrsFrozen, Since you have the NRSV, there is an excellent concordance, the "NRSV Concordance" edited by Kohlenberger which has all the deuterocanonicals and even books considered apocryphal by Catholics, but read by the Orthodox (e.g. 3 and 4 Maccabees, etc). It's a huge FAT book, and when I got mine 6 years ago I must have paid less than $20 for it. I was surprised by that, but I reckon it was being subsidised by the Protestant organisation that ran the shop (which was somewhere in Yorkshire, UK). It doesn't appear on Amazon as available, but some 2nd hand shops may have it, Bibliofind etc. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Pardon ignorance, what is a concordance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Pardon ignorance, what is a concordance? It's a reference book that helps you look up verses. Let's say, for example, you're wondering where Jesus says, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." You go to your handy dandy concordance and look up one of the key words... (let's say "way") It will show you most of the verses (or all if you have a really good concordance) that contain "way" with a little context. "I am the way and the truth..." Your concordance needs to match the version you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenchild17 Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Also some other nice ones, "Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture", that's very good, I just got it. It's based on the Douay-Rhiems version. Also the Navarre Bible is good, I don't think they finished all the books yet, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoketos Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 NEW Revised Standerd Version is translated with inclusive Language! Please be careful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Not all of them. RSV_CE in the Navarre and St Ignatius Bible are unaltered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popestpiusx Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 mother, Are the Navarre and Ignatius RSV's new translations or are they just new editions of what they had before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I will look after I get the laundry done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoketos Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Typically if it has new before it, it will have inclusive language. E.G. NRSV and NJB The New American is not influenced that way but it still is a wee bit flimsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popestpiusx Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I'll stick with my Douay. Though I don't mind the RSV to much for study purposes. I've never heard of the RSV_CE though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
