Frequently Asked Questions

What is Nave's Topical Bible?
Nave's Topical Bible is a comprehensive index of Scripture references organized by topic. It was compiled by Orville J. Nave (1841–1917), a chaplain in the United States Army, who spent 14 years categorizing virtually every verse in the Bible under over 5,000 subject headings.
Who was Orville J. Nave?
Orville James Nave was a U.S. Army chaplain and biblical scholar. He devoted 14 years of his life to creating the Topical Bible while serving in the military. His work, first published in 1896, remains one of the most widely used Bible reference tools to this day.
How is the Topical Bible different from a concordance?
A concordance lists every occurrence of a specific word in the Bible. The Topical Bible groups passages by theme or subject, even when different words are used. For example, searching "courage" in a concordance finds only that word, but the Topical Bible also includes related passages about bravery, boldness, and fearlessness.
How many topics does this Topical Bible contain?
This edition contains over 5,319 topics, covering people, places, doctrines, virtues, vices, events, objects, and abstract concepts found throughout the Bible — from Genesis to Revelation.
How do I use the Topical Bible?
You can browse topics alphabetically using the A-Z index, or search for a specific topic using the search bar. Click on any topic to see all the Scripture references grouped under it, often with sub-categories for more detailed study.
What is the Topical Bible useful for?
It is an essential tool for Bible study, sermon preparation, teaching, and personal devotion. If you want to know what the Bible says about a particular subject — such as love, forgiveness, prayer, or justice — the Topical Bible gathers all relevant passages in one place.
Can I use it for sermon or lesson preparation?
Absolutely. Pastors, teachers, and Bible study leaders frequently use Nave's Topical Bible to quickly find all Scripture passages related to a sermon topic, saving hours of manual searching.
Are the references from the Old Testament, New Testament, or both?
The Topical Bible draws references from both the Old and New Testaments. Each topic may include passages spanning the entire Bible, giving a comprehensive view of what Scripture teaches on that subject.
Is the Topical Bible the same as a Bible dictionary?
No. A Bible dictionary provides definitions and historical context for terms, people, and places. The Topical Bible organizes actual Scripture references by subject without adding commentary — it lets the Bible speak for itself.
What types of topics are covered?
Topics range from theological concepts (grace, redemption, prophecy) to practical subjects (money, marriage, parenting), from people (Abraham, David, Paul) to places (Jerusalem, Babylon, Egypt), and from virtues (faith, hope, love) to warnings (idolatry, pride, hypocrisy).
Is Nave's Topical Bible in the public domain?
Yes. Originally published in 1896, Nave's Topical Bible is in the public domain and freely available for anyone to use, study, and distribute.
How can I get the most out of this tool?
Start by searching for a topic that interests you. Read the grouped Scripture references to understand the Bible's full teaching on that subject. Use the cross-references to explore related topics. Combine it with the Concordance and Strong's Lexicon for deeper word-level study.
