Where am I supposed to go to find the span (start and stop points) of the Longacre genre coding (data type)?

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."

    It may help to know that range testing can find those points  e.g. label.longacreGenre:(primary:longacreGenre:"Behavioral: Evaluation" AND secondary:longacreGenre:"Behavioral: Hortatory") in a Books Search for a bible:

    • The Search for Rev 2 shows that it occurs 2x.
    • The Search for Rev 2:1-10 shows it occurs 1x at Re 2:1 and the bible has a highlight for vv, 1-7.
    • The Search for Rev 2:9-28 (deliberately omitting vv.8, 29) shows it occurs 1x at Re 2:12 and the bible has a highlight for vv.12-29.

    There are no results for Rev 1 and the result for Rev 3 shows it occurs 1x at Re 3:1 and the bible has a highlight for vv.1-22 (the whole chapter).

    Searches for Rev 2:2-3:21  and Rev 2:1-3:21 also show something about the boundaries.

    That is a big help Dave ... at the very least it can verify what I've guessed from highlighting. But it appears to find a label at the start of every chapter or pericope even if it is a continuation of the same story.

    Okay, I finally realized that for the labels, the Concordance guide section gives me the information.  It is the datatype that I can't find the boundaries on. Thanks for helping me think this through this far, Dave.

    I remembered doing a range Search for another datatype, but the Concordance will show both start and end points  e.g. with Rev 2:12 Search states 1x at v.12 and highlights vv.12-29.  Using that range in Concordance will show 2 boundaries (2:12-17 & 2:18-29). So you need both tools as an input of Rev 2:12 in Concordance will only show the first boundary (2:12-17). And it will show what Genre lies in the gap with an input of Rev 2:8.
