Editor’s Preface

The plan of this book is to provide topical outlines of a variety of major themes for the guidance of students and workers engaged in Christian service at home and in all parts of the world. The study of the Bible topically is one of the most interesting and perhaps one of the most fruitful methods. The value of these outlines to the busy Christian worker and missionary overseas is incalculable.

The outlines provide the basic material for specific subjects, or for a series of studies under such subjects as The Gospel, The Holy Spirit, Christian Life and Service—and a host of other matters. The value of The Topical Bible Concordance to Christian workers cannot be overstressed, providing as it does a balanced framework, skilfully prepared by master builders of the Christian faith.

In many foreign countries, nationals are often without either a concordance or a Bible containing references, and here is a compilation of vital subjects that cannot but give direction and inspiration, and provide sure foundations, for a healthy and useful Christian upbuilding.

The original manuscript of this volume made its appearance over one hundred and fifty years ago, dispensing blessing and giving spiritual direction to multitudes. This up-to-date issue, slightly revised and edited to meet present-day requirements, is sent forth with the prayer that, under God, it may fulfil its mission of goodwill and sound teaching to the Christians of this generation.

A Word of Commendation

When I first started preaching in my youth and inexperience, I fell back constantly upon two books: Thompson’s Chain Reference Bible and Miller’s Topical Concordance. Indeed, there are thousands of sermons to be found in this Concordance on nearly all gospel themes imaginable.

There are also some very valuable sections at the end of many of the Topics by way of example. This helps the preacher to reach into all parts of the Bible to find practical examples and applications, even for today. This Concordance is just as it claims—a concordance and not a commentary. Yet, it is more than that, for it is a small book of theology. ...
