While serving a mission for my church, a fellow member bought me a copy of “Strongs Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible”. I found it really fascinating to flip through correlated terms and be able to draw conceptual lines between them. It was the first time I’d ever come across something like that. It strikes me as something that is relatively rare simply because what the Bible is, in terms of popularity and commonality across the western world.

I've got a copy and still use it sometimes -- being able to immediately see nearby words (like "glad", "gladly", "gladness") is quite useful, which you'd miss just searching for "glad". Being able to see all uses on a hardcopy in a fixed position that doesn't scroll is helpful too, I find it harder to rationalise big lists when they're scrollable.

(I also use it to explain type checking to friends, given the number of times I've looked up a Hebrew word in the Greek dictionary, or vice versa).

I'd like to think it's called "Strong's Concordance" because that's what you'd be if you carried it around all the time.

BLB is great, their app works well too. I've been using it for what feels like ~2 decades.
