The New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE) brings to culmination the work of nearly 100 scholars, including translators, editors, and a subcommittee of Catholic bishops who provided extensive review of the biblical text over a period of many years.

*The first update of the Old Testament since 1970, taking into account recent archaeological and textual discoveries.

Excellent concise concordance

The New American Bible Concise Concordance is an excellent tool. It's very easy to use. I chose this concordance because it follows the (Catholic) Bible that I use. Definitely worth the money and I'd recommend the concordance to anyone who uses the New American Bible.

Great concordance!

For those who may not know, a concordance is essentially an index for the bible. This is not an exhaustive concordance that lists every word of the bible and where it can be found. Rather it is concise. The decision making is highly competent, and I doubt anyone using this concordance would find it lacking. It is helpful for both scholars and lay people when reading the bible. This is the concordance for the NAB (New American Bible), the most common translation in use for Roman Catholics in the United States. There is also a concise concordance available for the NRSV by the same editor. I have them both. Both are excellent. I would love a good concordance for the RSV (my personal favorite translation), but thus far have been unable to find one. If anyone knows of one, please free to leave a comment letting me know where I can get a good concordance for the RSV. [Added in July 2007] To those who may be interested, I just found a concordance for the RSV that looks good: The Oxford Concise Concordance to the Revised Standard Version of the Holy Bible

Very useful

Anyone using the New American Bible on a regular basis should have a copy of this book. We have all remembered a verse or part of a verse and just can't locate it. This book as paid for itself multiple times!

Very easy to use for the average Bible student or Catechist

I selected this concordance because so many of the others available selectively omit books from the Bible considered to be "apocrypha".With this concordance, Catholics who wish to deepen their faith and understanding of God's word can do so without sacrificing the Tradition and Sacred Scripture as revealed to the Catholic Church since it's beginning.This is a good Catholic Concordance and good companion to the Catechism and the Holy Bible.
