Factbook > Belief system > Search (alternative names)
An example of the invisible problem of Factbook not showing alternative names. The Dig Deeper search is incomplete:
term:(topic:"African American Interpretation" OR section:topic:"African American Interpretation" OR milestone:topic:"African American Interpretation" OR headword:"African American Interpretation" OR "African American Interpretation")
The problem is that my resources have at least these variants:
- African-American interpretation
- African American biblical interpretation
- African-American biblical interpretation
- African American criticism
- African American biblical criticism …
As the alternative names are no longer visible and therefore difficult to verify and suggest corrections, this incompleteness has become a major issue. Before I simply built my own search rather than using the Logos generated search when the alternative names list was unsatisfactory.
This is made all the more confusing by being classified as a belief system where one would expect to see "theology" rather than "interpretation" or "criticism" - the accuracy of the classification has improved but is still not trustworthy.
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."
