SUGGESTION: Bible Browser/Pericope Analysis

When switching Bibles in the Pericope mode of the Bible Browser, the final count can vary because of changes in the pericope boundaries between the boundaries. This means two things:

  • the pericope sets in Passage Analysis must be complete for every Bible with pericopes in the Bible Browser
  • there should be a quick way to get from the Bible Browser to the Compare Pericopes tool in Passage Analysis.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    • I'm not sure what this means
    • I don't see why this follows; there isn't (and doesn't need to be) a link from the "Verses" view to Text Comparison, for example

    I would suggest (in fact I think I have) suggested that this is useful.

    My workflow reasoning:

    • the browser now retains the filter when one changes Bible versions
    • because of this the tool brings to light differences in the verses or pericopes (or any other future divisions) selected between Bible versions
    • this results in the user needing to understand why there is a discrepancy in order to determine whether or not the difference matters to them
    • the tools necessary to most quickly determine the reason for the difference are:
      • pericope comparison - if any are missing they need to be added
      • text comparison
    • therefore the workflow ought to support quick access to these tools (most likely via Context Menu)

    Furthermore, when I have identified particular passages of interest, I often like to expand the view to related passages for which I would like equally quick access to these tools:

    • parallel passages (harmonies)
    • parallel pericopes - a new feature based on the references under the pericope title in some Bibles
    • passage guide for the cross-reference section .... at least until these become available in an even more useful format
