“In 1890 Dr. James Strong, Professor of Exegetical Theology at Drew Theological Seminary, published his monumental concordance to the Holy Scriptures. The Fruit of 35 years labor by Dr Strong and more than 100 colleagues, his volume has since become the most widely used concordance ever compiled from the King James Version of the Bible, still standard English version of the Bible. Assembled without the aid of computers or other electronic devices, Strong’s has stood the test of time and has confirmed Professor Strong’s vision for a complete, simple, and accurate concordance that would become “a permanent standard for the purposes of reference.”
