Factbook Sections and Outlines

Does the Factbook have a Bible book outline section? So often I want to get an outline overview of a Bible book that I am studying. It would be a really nice feature if one is available.

Yes! For example, for the Book of Nehemiah:

In Factbook, type in Nehemiah
Make sure you select Book of Nehemiah (and not Nehemiah the person or other entries)
Scroll down to "Bible Book Guide" section
Under Content, you will find the subsection labeled Outline
It will give you the book outline from all of your dictionaries, commentaries, and even study bibles
It has similar subsections for authorship, date, purpose, and other background / contextual information
I personally feel that "Bible Book Guide" is one of Factbook's best sections, and probably a best-kept secret (or least-known feature)

Alternatively, there's a separate tool called Bible Outline Browser (affectionately known as BOB when it was introduced) that you may also want to check out. Please note there are two views in BOB: Read (textual view) and Compare (visual view). The Read view has a left side bar that can be opened.

Hope this helps!
