A concordance is an alphabetical list of the principal words used in a book or body of work showing location in the text with immediate contexts. Because of the time and difficulty and expense involved in creating a concordance in the pre-computer era, only works of special importance, such as the Bible, Qur'an or the works of Shakespeare, had concordances prepared for them.
