Prioritizing Handbooks for OT and NT

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Dear Folk,

How does one prioritize the Handbooks for OT and NT exegesis? Will they show up as resources in a passage, topic, or other guide? They contain very good textual info and examples. I'd like to be able to easily access specific passages that correlate with studies I might be doing.

Thanks,

Mike

If you mean HOTE and HNTE, as far as I can tell, they cannot be navigated by reference or topic. They may show in Factbook but I am not positive about that since I do not own them.

the best you can do with monographs or.non-versified put them in a collection and then add that collection to your guides. Passage Guide and Topic Guide.

Dear John,

That would get me the handbooks, but not a point to specific verses or topics, right? Once at the handbook, I can search it for specific verses or words. Is that the best?

Thanks,

Mike

In the Collection section they will be scanned for the reference so the search is done; you just need to screen them.

As MJ said, it will find verse references for the verse you are running a passage guide on. It is as close as i have found to make resources that are not versified or topical tagged to be useful in a text or topical study. I do not have the resources I think you are referencing, so you would need to try and see how it fits your study.

For books like that I use a CitedBy tool, and link it to the Bible text. It's not a guide though. I have 4 in my layout.

Here is a screenshot to illustrate how it works and what it looks like:
