_Concordance to the
Greek Testament_, edited by the Rev. W. F. Moulton and A. E. Geden,
according to the texts adopted by Westcott and Hort, Tischendorf, and
the English revisers.

The first concordance to the English version of the New Testament was
published in London, 1535, by Thomas Gybson. It is a black-letter volume
entitled _The Concordance of the New Testament most necessary to be had
in the hands of all soche as delyte in the communicacion of any place
contayned in ye New Testament_.

The first English concordance of the entire Bible was John Marbeck's, _A
Concordance, that is to saie, a worke wherein by the order of the
letters of the A.B.C. ye maie redely find any worde conteigned in the
whole Bible, so often as it is there expressed or mentioned_, Lond.
1550. Although Robert Stephens had divided the Bible into verses in
1545, Marbeck does not seem to have known this and refers to the
chapters only. In 1550 also appeared Walter Lynne's translation of the
concordance issued by Bullinger, Jude, Pellican and others of the
Reformers. Other English concordances were published by Cotton, Newman,
and in abbreviated forms by John Downham or Downame (cd. 1652), Vavasor
Powell (1617-1670), Jackson and Samuel Clarke (1626-1701). In 1737
Alexander Cruden (q.v.), a London bookseller, born and educated in
Aberdeen, published his _Complete Concordance to the Holy Scriptures of
the Old and New Testament, to which is added a concordance to the books
called Apocrypha_. This book embodied, was based upon and superseded all
its predecessors. Though the first edition was not remunerative, three
editions were published during Cruden's life, and many since his death.
Cruden's work is accurate and full, and later concordances only
supersede his by combining an English with a Greek and Hebrew
concordance. This is done by the _Critical Greek and English
Concordance_ prepared by C. F. Hudson, H. A. Hastings and Ezra Abbot,
LL.D., published in Boston, Mass., and by the _Critical Lexicon and
Concordance to the English and Greek New Testament_, by E. L. Bullinger,
1892. The _Interpreting Concordance to the New Testament_, edited by
James Gall, shows the Greek original of every word, with a glossary
explaining the Greek words of the New Testament, and showing their
varied renderings in the Authorized Version. The most convenient of
these is _Young's Analytical Concordance_, published in Edinburgh in
1879, and since revised and reissued.
