Searching Journals by Reference

I have received several e-mails recently asking various questions about the Theological Journal Library (TJL). So today I’ll show you how to search them for a biblical passage.

Bible Reference Search

As with all Libronix resources you can search the journals for every time a specific verse is mentioned:

  • Open the Reference Browser from the Go menu
  • Set the In list to desired journals
  • Select Bible as the Type
  • Type a Bible reference in the Find box like 2 Tim 3.16 or Romans 7:9
  • Select your desired Match option
  • Click Search
  • All of the occurrences of your passage are listed. Click one to jump to that location.

Thanks for the excellent tip!

I have not used the Reference browswer before, I have always used the "Advanced Search" dialogue. Is there any way to get the contextual results because when you have a text like "John 3:16" you end up with so many results if you search against the whole TLJ that it becomes less helpful when all you have is an article header to click on.
