How to search theology books for a Biblical reference?

Eric Mcdonald

I'd like to search only my theology books for a scripture reference. How can I do this? What I'd especially like to do is be able to run a guide that shows all the occurences of the scripture reference in my theology books. Then, I could right click on a scripture reference and run the guide to see how the theologians use the passage. Possible?

First, create a Collection of your theology books, if you haven't already. See http://wiki.logos.com/Collections and Mark Barnes's videos on setting up collections: http://www.vimeo.com/8118581 and http://www.vimeo.com/8145864.

Then create a custom passage guide with a Collections section in it, and select your Theology collection as the collection to use. See http://wiki.logos.com/Customizing_the_Passage_and_Exegetical_Guides for info on how to set up a custom passage guide.

Then you can run that guide on the passage in question.

Or if you want to bypass the custom guide step, you can do a Basic Search for the passage of interest, within angle brackets (like this: <John 3>) and choose your Theology collection instead of Entire Library from the "search in" dropdown.
