6. notes There are also hyperlinks between many of the resources For example in looking at an article in the New Bible Dictionary one can click on a verse reference and be shown the text immediately There does not appear to be any linkage between dictionary articles where there are internal cross references however a great advantage of the Anchor Bible Dictionary when it will finally appear with Logos One wonders why these links were not included The program takes into account the different verse numberings within various versions For example one can link the NASB with the LXX of Psalm 51 The same psalm is displayed in both versions with the correct citation in the LXX given in brackets Eng 51 1 Gk 50 1 Since the version under review does not include the BHS correlations between LXX and it were not available for evaluation Searches Word and phrase searches can also be done with TBC The search is performed on the version displayed at the time A search for Son of God involves four clicks to indicate the necessity of case sensitivity and word order search range which includes the Apocrypha ts also easily indicated and the search took ten seconds The result is a list of references in canonical order in which an eight ten word context 1s shown with the phrase highlighted in red The whole verse is brought up by double clicking on it From this list it 1s also possible with one click to call up a ranked search which shows
7. the books in which the phrase occurs in the order of frequency of occurrence and an indication of the number of occurrences in each book and with percentage of the whole this number represents For example John and John share 36 of the occurrences with Mark only 3 This is useful to show starkly the distribution of kingdom of God 67 Mark and Luke 6 Matthew vs kingdom of heaven 100 Matthew Searches in Greek and presumably Hebrew are also possible One can also search in other resource documents such as dictionaries and commentaries For example a search for land in the New Bible Commentary took twelve seconds and found 455 occurrences linking directly to the first of these Subsequent ones can be accessed with lt Ctrl gt lt PgUp PgDwn gt The search word 1s not highlighted in this case and no statistical summary is available A 121 Ashland Theological Journal 28 1996 112 125 topic search 1s also available for searching reference resources A search for predestination shows tt is discussed in Nave s the New Bible Dictionary and also the program s own Topics file which in this case includes a list of seven relevant verses with hyperlinks as well as three related topics The Elect Election The Chosen Ones all with hyperlinks One can also add one s own topical entnes and hypertext links Notes A special Notepad function is available either through a separ
