Ephesus Odeon
Altar of Zeus
Temple of Dionysus
Temple of Artemis.

Concordance

Added the ability to run a Concordance on References made in a resource.
Added support for user-defined reference ranges.
Clicking one facet with multiple enabled on Mac will now set that facet as the only filter, to match Windows and desired behavior.
Ctrl+F/Cmd+F have been enabled for quickly finding a desired word in Concordance.
Fixed issue where the count for Concordance could be incorrect when searching within a limited range of references. (Thread)
Open resources will now be placed at the top of the list when selecting a resource.
Word refinement options that don’t apply are now hidden.

Narrative Character Maps Interactive (Volume 2)

Narrative Character Maps present the Bible’s familiar story arcs with a new visual perspective that makes sense of complex interweaving narratives. Color-coded character lines elegantly present the geographic location of key players through time. Volume 2 adds maps of Abraham, Isaac and the events depicted in 1 Samuel. (Thread.)

New Testament Manuscript Interactive

The new interactive allows you to explore all sorts of data about manuscripts. It is not about finding a particular reading of a particular verse, but more about learning about particular manuscripts or groups of manuscripts — learning about a library of manuscripts, not about readings within a manuscript. (Thread.)

Systematic Theology

Added a new Systematic Theology section to the default Passage Guide, structured similarly to the Grammars section. (Thread.)

This section is a classification of Biblical cross references to works of Systematic Theology. It can be sorted by Subject or Resource.
Sorting by Subject will group the results by relevant study, and then tradition a level below that.
Sorting by Resource will group the resources under their respective tradition, and then study.
Regardless of sort type, hovering over the title of a particular study will give a brief description of what the study is.
