The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, by Alfred Edersheim

Old Testament Bible History, by Alfred Edersheim

The Strongest Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, by James Strong
Actually, I use an earlier version that is no longer in print. Strong’s includes every word of the text of the English translation of the canonical books, and every occurrence of each word in regular order. For serious study, Strong’s is essential.
