Biography
Strong was born in New York and graduated in 1844 as a graduate of Wesleyan University . Subsequently, he was mayor of his hometown on Long Island. Later, when he settled in Flushing , New York State , he conducted Bible studies, held various local posts, and was the organizer, initiator, and president of the Flushing Railway. In 1856, Wesleyan University awarded him the degree of Doctor of Theology. From 1858 to 1861, Strong was both the acting president and professor of biblical literature at the University of Troy , New York State. In 1868, he became a professor of exegetical theology at the Drew Theological Seminary , where he remained for twenty-seven years. In 1881, Wesley University awarded Strong a Doctor of Science degree (Doctor of Law) . He died in Round Like , New York State in 1894. [2] [3] [4]
Concordance
His most famous work is Comprehensive Bible Concordance, compiled by Strong , first published in 1890, but new editions still continue to print. Numerous adaptations (for example, Strong comprehensive Bible concordance compiled by Strong: 21st Century Edition ) are also available.
For Concordance, Strong numbered each root of the Hebrew or Greek word that was found, for ease of use. This numbering system (8674 Jewish roots and 5523 Greek roots) is currently widely used in the Russian-speaking world, and is also widely available on the site [5] , where it is used in conjunction with the English Concordance Vaigram and Lexicon Teer.
Other works
Another important contribution was the main “Encyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Spiritual Literature” [6] (10th volume, 1867–1881; supplement, 2nd volume, 1885–1887). Work on this project began in 1853. Strong played the second fiddle with Dr. John McClintock . They pre-made several volumes. However, with the death of Dr. McClintock in 1870, Strong became the sole person responsible for the project to make it complete.
Among other things, here are some of his small works: The New Symphony and Presentation of the Gospel (1852), The History of Scripture is Outlined from Biblical Records and Other Available Sources (1878), and The Tabernacle of Israel in the Desert (1888).
