Nave's Topical Bible
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nave's Topical Bible is a book written by Orville James Nave (1841-1917) and published by Thomas Nelson Publishers. It is a topical concordance of the Bible, and contains Biblical references to over 20,000 topics. Scriptures are quoted over 100,000 times, consisting of verses, parts of verses, series of verses, and chapters. It should be noted however that the same Scripture citation may appear under more than one topic heading.
The topic headings are broad, covering many religious concepts, geographical regions, and names of Biblical figures. While theological concepts such as salvation and worship are included, a wide range of topics, such as Biblical references to ropes, are also included. This reflects the author's intention, as stated in the book's preface, to "...note and classify everything found in the Scriptures".
The book was written before the age of computers, and took fourteen years to complete. At least seven editions have been published, based on the King James Version and Revised Version of the Bible. Each verse of the Bible is indexed according to the topics it is classified under. Christian figures such as Billy Graham have endorsed the book.
