Exegetical Concordance

Step 1 — Open the Exegetical Concordance

Open Exegetical Concordance

Step 2 — Choose the appropriate research area

Among the major research areas you may encounter are:

• Probable allusions & scriptural echoes
• Intertext clusters / multi-source units
• Repeated OT source hubs
• Local discovery triage
• Research anchors
• Open scholarly questions resolution
• Publication apparatus & bibliography normalization

You normally need only the area that matches your present question.

Step 3 — Narrow the records

Use the search and filter controls supplied inside the chosen research area. When status/disposition filters are available, use them to distinguish records that are resolved, bounded, partial, open, confirmed, strengthened, or reopened.

Step 4 — Open one relationship and inspect the evidence

For a candidate quotation/allusion/related passage, ask:

1. What is the NT target passage?
2. What is the proposed scriptural/source passage?
3. What wording or concept connects them?
4. Is the relationship explicit or inferred?
5. Is the proposed boundary narrow, composite, or multi-source?
6. What status/qualification does the research record give it?

Step 5 — Read both passages in context

Never accept an intertextual relationship merely because it appears in a database. Open both passages and read their literary contexts.

Then use the Lexical and Grammatical Concordances to test the important verbal and grammatical evidence.

Step 6 — Use “Probable allusions & scriptural echoes” carefully

An allusion or echo normally involves a graded judgment rather than the same kind of certainty as an explicit quotation. Treat such records as evidence to investigate, not as automatic proof of authorial dependence.

Step 7 — Use “Intertext clusters / multi-source units”

This area is useful when one NT unit relates to several scriptural texts or when a single relationship cannot adequately be represented as a simple one-to-one pair.

Step 8 — Use “Repeated OT source hubs”

Use this view when asking how one OT/source passage functions across multiple New Testament locations. It is especially useful for tracing recurring scriptural source patterns.

Step 9 — Use bibliography and research anchors for deeper work

The Publication apparatus & bibliography normalization area supports deeper scholarly work. Search normalized bibliography by author, title, journal or source identifier and use authority/publication-type filters where relevant.

Research anchors help retain the evidence trail behind analytical claims.

Advanced research statuses

Some panels expose scholarly validation/resolution states such as Confirm, Strengthen, Reopen, Resolved, Partial or Open. These describe the research record/status; they are not grammatical categories.

What ordinary users can usually ignore

Controls labelled for Export JSON/CSV, Automatic runtime tests, Environment, browser/device smoke testing, certification, review-packet production, or similar maintenance/QA functions are not required for ordinary exegetical study.

About R22, R23, R29, R30, R31, R33…

These R-number labels identify research/revision stages or specialized analytical workspaces. They are not Bible references. A beginning user can ignore them until a specific advanced research task requires them.

Worked research method

1. Begin with one NT passage.
2. Identify the proposed quotation/allusion/source relationship.
3. Open the proposed source passage.
4. Compare wording and context.
5. Use the Lexical Concordance for important words.
6. Use the Grammatical Concordance for important constructions.
7. Return to the Exegetical record and evaluate its status/claim boundary.
8. Only then formulate the exegetical conclusion.

Methodological rule

The Exegetical Concordance is a research workspace, not a replacement for exegetical judgment. Evaluate relationships in textual, grammatical, literary and historical context.
