Sorry if this is a silly question, but I've seen several people refer to the "Explorer" or the "Bible Explorer"...is that just another name for the passage guide?  Or is it something else?

    And it's like a simplified Passage Guide:

    For those wondering why they might use it, notice the section with cross references. I used to keep NTSK open... now, I use Explorer & not only get the NTSK, I also get People/Places/Things & Media to offload some of the work from MPG & MEG to keep them more narrowly focused on their portions of weekly research.

    Blessings!

    Do you use it for a single verse or a verse range?  I find using the cross references in the Explorer difficult because it doesn't give any indication of which word or which verse goes with each reference. I'd use it if they would at least show the associated verse refs.   For now I'm sticking with NTSK.

    Good point! Just tried to compare the 2 lists for 2 Cor 12:12-31, & I think I'm going to revert, too, same reasons...
