The English Standard Version of the Bible, first published in 2001, is already widely acclaimed as an essentially literal translation that maintains the elegance of Bible translations in the King James tradition. The Crossway Comprehensive Concordance now provides an excellent study companion for the ESV Bible. And as an essentially literal translation, the ESV is ideally suited for both devotional and scholarly study with a concordance. Although compact in size, this concordance is comprehensive in its listing of Bible words. For the nearly 14,000 words listed, every biblical occurrence is included , a total of more than 300,000 concordance entries. The carefully selected verse segment for each entry gives just the clue you'll need to identify the Bible passage you are looking for. For optimal compactness, 115 frequently used but less essential words ('a', 'and', 'he', etc.) are excluded.
