The third edition of Cruden's concordance, the last to be compiled by him, forms the basis for all subsequent editions. It was reset in octavo format in 1823, when Chalmers' Memoir was added. The most recent revision was in 1930, when the dictionary part of the concordance was drastically
Inevitably there are shortcuts. If an identical or similar phrase recurs, only the first occurrence is shown in full, the others receiving a bare mention of book, chapter and verse. Another shortcut is what would today be a see also reference: at the end of a list of entries the reader is instructed to see a related word.

curtailed. Editions are generally printed three columns to the page, in a 6-point typeface. The arrangement is Keyword-out-of-context: each new indexed word is capitalized and centred on its column. The context of each occurrence is then given, each one on a new line, with no run-in. Indentation is employed when a word occurs more than once in the same book of the Bible. The enduring quality of the concordance owes as much to Cruden's careful attention to context and clarity of layout as it does to his accuracy. As a further aid to easy reference, frequently occurring words are split up and given several entries, according to the way they are phrased. For example, after a column or more of entries under place there are groups of entries for a place, high place, his place, etc.Inevitably there are shortcuts.

Does the job. I picked it up at a used book store for a few bucks and it's certainly worth that--a concordance makes Bible study much easier, especially if you're reading is self-directed and non-devotional.
If you're old (I am) you'll want to grab a magnifying glass at the same time--the print is

Useful for crossword puzzleers, theology students and anyone who needs an index to the Bible.

Before you could google it, this was the reference book for the Bible. A massive work and eternally fascinating.

Almost every word of the whole Bible arranged alphabetically. An amazing tool for the discovery of misquotation and mis-citation, a surprisingly wide-spread practice.
Associations also become apparent, such as the fig tree with political Israel, gold with evil, wisdom with grace, or the oak tree

A concordance was an invaluable tool before computer searches and Bible software. Even without original Hebrew/Greek meanings, Cruden's is a good one.
Imagine listing every word of the Bible pre-computer!! Has anyone ever done that for Shakespeare?

Introduction: "This concordance is a library of instruction."

Kind of old, but still useful
LibraryThing member raizel
It lists every word in the Bible, but this means every word in the English translation of the Bible and not the original language(s). I'm hoping the Internet does this but for Hebrew. If not, there's always DavkaWriter.

This is a more evangelical and reformed concordance that Strong's.

First published in 1737, don't know the date of this publication, but sometime after 1837. Very worn, covers loose,n. This version is "slightly condensed, but retaining all that is really valuable."
