    Well, actually the searches at the bottom … if I understood the policy that determines which resource(s) are chosen for the respective search.

    I use the preposition charts in teaching as well as the translation rings. But the word information I most often want, is not available in the BWS as I rely heavily on philology and word nets. However, when I need specific information that is in the BWS it is a very convenient way to look the information up.

    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."

    Although it can be marred by the way "translations" are presented (unhelpful and cluttering divisions between forms), the Septuagint wheel is helpful.

    I use Lemmas in passages fairly often. It's even better when the BWS is constrained to a specific passage or range:

    I also concur with DMB that the Textual Searches at the bottom are helpful. In fact, it is easy to forget that they are there and how helpful they can be as a quick way to search through the useful corpora like the Dead Sea Scrolls, the LXX, Philo, the Apostolic Fathers etc.
