The Theme section of the Passage Guide is one I'll admit to rarely using as it is tied to Preaching Theme - a classification scheme designed for preaching rather than general Bible study. It is documented as: [quote]Theme Section
When run on a passage, this section lists preaching themes that have been tagged to that passage (at the pericope level). Click a theme to open the Sermon Starter Guide on that theme.
In the Sermon Starter Guide, the Theme section lists details about the guide key’s theme.
Verbum Help (Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2022).
However, in a more general sense, identifying the theme or understanding why someone else assigned a specific theme to a text is a useful exercise, especially in text that seems disjointed. The solution is simple:
- create a collection with the rule type:"Bible concordance"
- add a collection section to a guide and use settings to limit it to the collection just created -- you may add or subtract resources to meet your personal needs
