    1. make a collection of all your library books such as:

    • Wilson, Neil, and Nancy Ryken Taylor. The A to Z Guide to Bible Signs and Symbols: Understanding Their Meaning and Significance. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 2015.
    • Jensen, Robin M. Baptismal Imagery in Early Christianity: Ritual, Visual, and Theological Dimensions. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic, 2012.

    • Wiersbe, Warren W. Index of Biblical Images: Similes, Metaphors, and Symbols in Scripture. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 2000.
    • Sosa Siliezar, Carlos Raúl. Creation Imagery in the Gospel of John. Edited by Chris Keith. Vol. 546. Library of New Testament Studies. London; New Delhi; New York; Sydney: Bloomsbury T&T Clark, 2015.
    • Kim, Chŏng-hun. The Significance of Clothing Imagery in the Pauline Corpus. Vol. 268. Journal for the Study of the New Testament Supplement. London; New York: T&T Clark International, 2004.
    • Beck, John A., ed. Zondervan Dictionary of Biblical Imagery. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2011.

    2. Search the collection for shepherd

    3. collect results in passage list

    4. Run each entry in the passage list through Cross-reference and Important Passages sections of a Passage Guide, adding new verse relevant to the study to the passage list.

    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."

    Also, you can use Logos Help for Figurative Language; where there is an example for Shepherd e.g. it can be shortened to figurativeLanguage:(category:figurativeLanguageCategory:"Metaphor, Ontological, Entity" AND source:figurativeLanguageTerm:Shepherd)
