How to search:Systematic Theology about God
Is there a way to utilize the systematic theology feature to find the topic about "God" ?
Like what my books on Systematic Theology says about "God"
I tried to create a custom template for topical/thematic ST but gave no result at all.

All theology is about God. Is there some particular aspect of His person or nature you are interested in studying? You could set up a systematic theology collection and search for "theology proper"

Sadly, the systematic theology feature works on Bible verses, not topics.
I'm hoping they'll create labels out of it, like they did with the Psalms explorer and addressees in reported speech. That would make it much more useful.

Every beta release that appears, I instantly scan the new features looking for this capability. This is my number one desire concerning new features.

Yeah, it would be wonderful to search Systematic Theology under topic or theme, rather than verses. (it would make more sense since ST is topical, no?)

STs don't have special topic-based tagging yet. There's a project in the queue to add it.
In the meantime, you could try doing a heading or large text field search in your STs collection. You'll get a little noise, but it'll probably get you pointed in the right direction.

That's great to hear.

Also you could run topic guides to get the passage lists then run the passages, yeah I know it is one by one, through the ST guide to compile results for the topic.

I'm hoping this at the top of the queue! Other message threads are asking about this.

Even if they tag by topic, you are going to have to narrow this down. Otherwise, you'll end up with (practically) whole books as hits. It would be like a google search for 'restaurant'.
