I hate to be unappreciative of the significant work done by Faithlife staff to produce the series All the altars in the Bible, All the Battles in the Bible, All the Burials in the Bible ... The problem is that I rarely run into use cases where these are actually useful to me. What I need is a similar set of resources/labels/search options/Bible browser facets for motifs. Examples:
1. All the Barren Women in the Bible
2. All the Coming out of Egypt in the Bible
3. All the Favored Younger Sons in the Bible
4. All the Wandering in the Wilderness in the Bible
5. All the Providence through Dreams in the Bible (a different focus than all the Dreams in the Bible)
6. All the Faithful Remnants in the Bible
7. All the Divine Testing in the Bible
8. All the hero's Flight in the Bible
9. All the Sibling Rivalries in the Bible
10. All the Battle of Champions in the Bible
11. All the Divine Naming in the Bible
12. All the Anointed Ones in the Bible
13. All the Defying Authority for Divine Purposes in the Bible
14. All the Famine and Migration in the Bible (different focus than All the Famines in the Bible)
15. All the Divine Intervention in Battle in the Bible (different focus than All the Battles in the Bible)
16. All the Wise Women in the Bible
17. All the Unexpected Heroes of the Bible
18. All the Faithfulness in Adversity in the Bible
19. All the Royal Succession and Legitimacy (issues) in the Bible
20. All the Hospitality and its Rewards in the Bible
21. All the Restoration and Return in the Bible
22. All the Supernatural Encounters in the Bible
23. All the Fall and Redemption (accounts) in the Bible
You could easily find additional possibilities in some of your resources on motifs in the Scripture. While these sound similar to what you have done, the study of motifs represents a very different mindset in the study of Scripture than the historical event approach currently available. Motifs belong to the realm of literary analysis and my extend into interfaith archetypal analysis. Please broaden the perspective of Faithlife coding.
