So what if I want to see how multiple passages that are used to support alternative views are analyzed together?

Step 1: Open the Systematic Theologies Section of any passage Guide and click on "Search All Systematic Theologies. Note that this opens the Search set to Search a system maintained collection documented in Brannan, Rick, and Peter Venable. Systematic Theology Cross-References: Dataset Documentation. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2015.

Step 2: Enter Bible references - I chose one used for salvation by baptism and one used for salvation by faith - and you have articles in Systematic Theologies that reference both passages.

Note that you can not directly build a Search on this system maintained collection. You must go through the Passage Guide Systematic Theologies section.  The same principle applies to Confessional Documents and Biblical Theologies.

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."
