Warning regarding issue with highlighting in the Bible BrowserIdea:

[quote]Bradley Grainger (Faithlife):

This is a known issue in Bible Browser; I've added a link to this thread to the case. There are two workarounds:

  1. Use the web app
  2. Scroll down, then scroll back up again, which refreshes the display

Note that the mouse over is scanty – a reminder of the “work in progress” nature of many of the links.

Interactive

There is no interactive dedicated to Biblical Things. However, thing does figure into some of the interactives:

  • Bible Book Explorer
    • Key Things
  • Biblical Event Navigator

    Important Things
Commandments of the Law

Things


Miracles of the Bible

Things Involved


Names of God

Things


New Testament Use of the Old Testament

Things (NT)
Things (Source)


Speaking to God

Context Menu and Information Panel
In the Information Panel, the behavior of Thing parallels that of Person.

Similarly, the comments on the context menu for Biblical person also apply to Biblical thing.

Visual Filter and Factbook
Biblical thing is one facet that appears in the Factbook visual filter and therefore requires no user created highlighting palette or visual filter. The visual filter powers the popup on mouse over.

The visual filter powers the Factbook entry on click.

Search
Running the Bible search from the Context Menu yields:

Clause search
In a different format, Biblical Thing is available in the clause search.

Among other options, search by grammatical and semantic roles is possible in the clause search.
QUIZ
Use the Bible Browser to find all the verses for which the literary types is allusions that feature Abraham’s wife Sarah and stars. Reproduce the results with a Search.
People:Sarah à Literary Types: Allusion, Old Testament à Things:Star

But where is Sarah?

The Search is:

Remember that a space is equivalent to an “AND” between the three search terms.

    Small typo:
