Is there an efficient way (ie. not using the Search tool) to compare how many times various people are mentioned in the Bible?  For example, how would I go about determining who is mentioned more frequently than Abraham?

    Would the concordance tool work for you? You can choose "Biblical Entity" and drill down from there.

    What do you mean by "mentioned"? No, I'm not joking. Logos coding allows for including in "Abraham" every he, they, husband etc. that refers to Abraham as well as his formal name. The answer to your question differs depending upon what you want.

    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."
