JAMES STRONG

James Strong (August 14, 1822 - August 7, 1894) was an American academic, biblical scholar, lexicographer, Methodist theologian, and professor, best known for being the creator of Strong's Concordance.

BIOGRAPHY

Strong was born in New York City and graduated, in 1844, as valedictorian from Wesleyan University. Subsequently, he was mayor of his hometown on Long Island. Later, having settled in Flushing, New York, he pursued biblical studies, held various local offices, and organized, built, and was the president of the Flushing railroad. In 1856 the Wesleyan University granted him the degree of Doctor of Divinity (D.D.). From 1858 until 1861, Strong was both Acting President and Professor of Biblical Literature at Troy University. In 1868 he became Professor of Exegetical Theology at Drew Theological Seminary, where he remained for twenty-seven years. In 1881 the Wesleyan University honored Strong with the degree of Doctor of Laws (LL.D.). He died at Round Lake, New York, in 1894.

PURE RELIGION

As I studied the Bible using the modern parallel tools supplied by openbible.com and biblehub.com, I found that I preferred Strong's Lexicon over all the other translations including the King James. I believe Strong's Bible is an amazing tool for bringing greater understanding and clarity to God's word, and it is for this reason I decided to publish it.
