Hi,

May I know is there a way to search for all the Occupations, Professions, types of work, titles, in the Bible.

If not, is there a list of these available in any of the Logos Resources?

Thanks.

JK

    It may not be comprehensive but there is an interesting list in the Baker Encyclopedia of the Bible

    While Biblical and non-Biblical are mixed together, the "ontological" index to Factbook people contains the information.

    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."

    As usual, thanks to both Graham and MJ for your quick and useful responses, to get me started. I was looking at Book of Acts to see how the Gospel Spread:

    • Geographically; Jerusalem, Judea, Summaria, end of the earth
    • People Groups: Jews, People on Fringes of Judaism, Gentiles
    • Social Classes: Grassroots (fisherman, etc) Up the social classes, ... etc ... kings. So I  thought Occupations, Professions, titles, etc of people in Acts might help me see if there are something useful.
    • etc.

    Thanks.
