I was very excited when the Outline Section was added to Passage Guide. Previously, I had been creating a Clippings file of outlines with the intent to parallel it for chiasms, inclusios, parallels, concentric patterns etc. Unfortunately, the section is not meeting its potential for the following reasons:

  • Outlines are of wildly differing value to me - I need a way to "permanently" give 3 priority over 1 in all Passage Guides
  • Some are not actually outlines - I need to be able to name them according to the type of structure they actual describe
  • There are still a number of resources that do not appear in this section although they have a number of outlines
  • It would be useful to be able to add entries either as clippings with an "outline" tag or as a PB with appropriate tags.
  • It would be useful to be able to select multiple outlines and display them in a format similar to the Compare Pericope format.
  • It would be very useful to have a parallel function for chiasms, inclusios etc.
