James Strong was an American theologian and professor whose lifelong dedication to biblical languages led to the creation of one of the most widely used Bible reference tools in history. His academic work focused on making Hebrew and Greek resources accessible to ordinary readers, and his influence continues to shape Bible study across denominations.
Strong produced the monumental Strong Concordance, a comprehensive index of every word in the King James Bible, along with a numbering system for Hebrew and Greek terms that became foundational for later lexicons, dictionaries, and digital study tools.
