The following video provides an introduction to the ATLA Religion Database's Scripture Index. The video touches on the organization, contents, and use of the Scripture Index.
This video demonstrates a more advanced approach to searching for biblical passages that allows you to view results for a range of verses at one time rather than looking at results for each verse in a passage separately. The method provides greater precision in results and much greater efficiency in reviewing search results.
