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."

Not as good as MJ's solution, but one of my CitedBy panels in my layout, includes the Talmud writings, the NT apocrypha, and the Fathers. I just type in the range I want (eg Gen 1:1-31 or similar), and I have all their input ... click the little arrows to see which I want. What's interesting is the discussions are often not surrounding my cited text ... ie they can be discussing something in Leviticus as an example, but reference the creation.
The difference is the assigned topics by Faithlife, vs the references in the texts themselves.

Geisler's Systematic Theology, Vol. 2. Possibly other systematic theologies too.
