    I think the TCR is a great tool, but it has its limitations... http://www.spiritandtruth.org/questions/24.htm

    It is similar to Scofield which claims to have "a new system of connected topical references" (Scofield, C. I., ed. (1917). The Scofield Reference Bible), except that you have to work from its Index of topics/themes at the back. I think Thompson would be the better tool whilst agreeing with the analysis referenced above that its coverage of cross-references is variable e.g. it covers Witchcraft much better than Amalek. I would use it in conjunction with the other topic tools in Logos.
