Nelson's Cross-Reference Guide to the Bible

The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge and The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge have been expanded and improved upon by Jerome Smith in this new format which makes lesson preparation and Bible study easier than ever! You will discover how words, phrases, and concepts in one section of the Bible are reflected and reinforced in other parts with this user-friendly tool. Covering every chapter of the Old and New Testaments, this expansive work features more than 100,000 cross-references; chapter summaries; and highlighted keywords.

Discover how words, phrases, and concepts in one passage of the Bible are reflected and reinforced in the whole of Scripture. Nelson’s Cross-Reference Guide is organized in biblical sequence, making it easy for you to study a particular passage deeper than ever before.

You’ll find multiple cross-references to related passages in the Old and New Testaments. Gain a richer understanding of God’s Word by studying a theme through the whole counsel of Scripture.

Building on the Bible Study classic, The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge (with its well-known introduction by R.A. Torrey), and his own expansive The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, Jerome Smith has fashioned a user-friendly tool in a much improved, altogether new format to make personal Bible study and Bible lesson preparation easier than ever before. Thanks to Smith’s diligent work over many years, this volume contains a more complete collection of cross-references than any Bible reference ever published.

First some acronyms TSK = Treasury of Scripture Knowledge NTSK = New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge CRGB = Nelson's Cross-Reference Guide to the Bible I cannot praise this book enough. It is truly a rare jewel surpassed in its value only by the Bile itself. In its simplicity, scope and completeness it is breath-taking. If the Bible is the Queen of books, then NTSK/CRGB is her only fit handmaiden. And for this precious gem we have Jerome H. Smith to thank. Of course, he built upon the work of others. But his was no quick slam-bam-thank-you-ma'am edit job. 30 years of Bible study went into NTSK. He compared verse with verse until he was satisfied that every reference was both relevant and significant. To the 500,000 refs of TSK he added 100,000 refs of his own. For CRGB he added still more refs mostly based on the alternative renderings provided by the KJV translators in the margins of their work. What's more, for NTSK he compiled no less than 7 indices: Subject, Topic Number, Prayer, Proverbs, Name, Figure of Speech and Strong's Numbers. He also provided an extensive bibliography. Leaving most of the notes he found in TSK unmodified, he added his own personal notes to about 275 vss. But the indices, bibliography and most of the notes were removed for CRGB. What a pity! For my part, the ultimate proof that God was pleased with the holy work of Jerome Smith is the fact that Satan tried to cut him down before he could finish his book. In Smith's own words from the preface of NTSK: "I almost did not live to finish my editorial work on the New Treasury, for I was shot in the head by an unknown assailant on March 13, 1986, when I had typed the text only as far as 1 Samuel 3. The Lord miraculously spared my life. During my recovery I kept working on the book, often without income." Smith has truly shown us what it means to live "a long obedience in the same direction."

This has to be one of the best reference guides I have ever use when studying the Bible. It saves so much time when I need to prepare a Sermon or plan a Bible study. I plan on sujesting this book to my Pastor and friends.

Since I use the Amplified Bible the majority of time, I thought I would purchase this book to help in my research. I'm so glad that I did, because the amount of cross-references in this book, is unbelievable. All study bibles have a great cross-reference system, but nothing like this volume. I highly recommend the book.

a potentially slight pain to use but overall AWESOME! Couldn't do without it!!! Beats having to use the concordance to put things together by a long shot!
