Andersen-Forbes provide an example of the early use of computer enhancement of Hebrew Bible studies. In the Bible text one finds tagging for:

  • Morphology
  • Genre
  • Source criticism
  • Semantic category
  • Gloss

These appear in the gutter popup line.

P30-1 Analyzed Bible

These show in the Context menu as the Andersen-Forbes morphology and three datatypes.

P30-2 As Context Menu

Unfortunately, the datatypes miss the appropriate Lookup function

The phrase marker analysis is given in the familiar horizontal tree format.

P30-3 Phrase Analysis

On mouse over, the phrase analysis does three things:

  • Shows items lower in the tree diagram with orange connecting lines
  • Shows items above in the tree diagram with blue connecting lines
  • Provides the title to the current element in full in the gutter line

P30-4 Mouse Over

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."
