I'm using the Passage Guide for Gen 1:1. Why are all the knowledge Topics listedfor the Dictionary of Bible Themes if Gen 1:1 is not referenced in those topics? I fail to see the relevance and direct link.

    If you look at Factbook, you will find Genesis 1 (entire chapter) tied to Knowledge (the generic, unqualified concept). This should explain the passage guide results.

    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."

    I suppose you could argue that "knowledge, of Jesus Christ" would be applicable because of John 1:1. But that's reading something back into the Old Testament that the original author knew nothing about. And "5026 knowledge" could literally apply to everything in the Bible.
