    With all the discussion on Strong's versus Young's concordances, I feel like a return to Cruden's Concordance.

    A few years ago, I used to sit in the pew close to someone who brought his Cruden's Concordance and KJV every Sunday. Now this saint was equipped. :rolleyes:

    'Young's for the young, Strong's for the strong and Cruden's for the crude'

    With digitalization of texts one can carry a large library in their pocket.

    I use Logos Bible Software and it's not unusual for me to...
    • do an on-the-spot original-language word-study,
    • check a few different translations,
    • examine some choice commentaries,
    • add notes to the passage we are studying,
    ...all while, continuing to outline the sermon I'm listening to.

    I'm waiting for @Jphn of Japan to recover from his surgery to comment on the different concordances.

    Thanks for posting about the surgery of John of Japan. I join many others who have missed his voice here on BB.

    I can say that I used Strong's Dictionary in the back of my Strong's Concordance many times over.

    However, I have never owned a Young's Concordance. So I cannot speak to the Young's Dictionary.

    *****

    How do the two concordance dictionaries compare -- Strong's versus Young's?

    Strong better definitions, but Young easier to use for word studies.

    Alistair Begg told his church (during a sermon) that when anyone asks him where a certain verse is in the Bible, he now tells them to look it up themselves, because "I'm not Young's Analytical Concordance." LOL
