Cross references

I have Android logos app and am using the New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge for cross references.  Is there any way to see those cross references expanded and listed out like in a passage list?  Also am wondering if there are other ways to get cross references.  I know there is a section in the passage guide but this only has a handful of references and they are not very intuitive.

    Speaking from the perspective of a desktop user, there are many cross-references.  An Android user would need to determine which are available on the Android mobile app.

    Is there any way to see those cross references expanded and listed out like in a passage list?

    Copy and paste into a passage list.

    Also am wondering if there are other ways to get cross references. 

    In the passage guide, the top portion of the cross-reference section gives you links to at least the following books if they are in your library:

    • Blayney, B., Thomas Scott, and R.A. Torrey with Canne, John, Browne. The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge. London: Samuel Bagster and Sons, n.d.
    • Smith, Jerome H. The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge: The Most Complete Listing of Cross References Available Anywhere- Every Verse, Every Theme, Every Important Word. Nashville TN: Thomas Nelson, 1992.
    • Bratcher, Robert G., ed. Short Bible Reference System. Helps for Translators. New York: United Bible Societies, 1961.
    • El Tesoro Del Conocimiento Bíblico: Referencias Bíblicas Y Pasajes Paralelos. Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2011.
    • Jantzen, Herbert, and Thomas Jettel, trans. Das Neue Testament, Die Psalmen, Die Sprüche in Deutscher Fassung. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2017.

    The bottom portion of the cross-reference section gives you all the cross-references from your Bibles. It has a built in save to passage Guide feature and an open in Bible feature.

    The parallel passages section of the Passage Guide gives you information about a specific type of cross-reference.

    The important passages section of the Passage Guide gives you information based on Bible commentary cross-references. This section also classifies them by type.

    The concordance section of the Passage Guide when set to Intertext labels provides information on quotes, allusions, etc. to other parts of the text which is yet another type of cross-references.

    Those are the primary sources of cross-references although there are other tools that could be considered cross-references such as Biblical events in the Passage Guide which provide every telling of or reference to each of the events ...

    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."

    There is also the "Dictionary of Bible Themes" if you have that resource. While it is not a cross reference per se... it does help.

    xn = Christan man=man -- Acts 11:26 "....and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch".
