Jesse Dornfeld Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) I just upgraded to Accordance 14. I am almost positive there is a way to search for a verse in a resource. I want to search for a specific verse or set of verses in a specific document. I want to do this by amplifying. I am new to amplifying, one of the great things about accordance, but have gotten great value out of what I have done with it. If someone could simply tell me what tutorial to look up, that would work, but I don't know where to start and I have had Accordance crash on me when trying to do tutorials. Specifically, I would like to search verses such as Matthew 13:11; Mark 4:11; Romans 16:25; 1 Corinthians 2:7, 15:51; Ephesians 3:3-4; Colossians 1:26, 27; 1 Timothy 3:16; Revelation 10:7 (and more like it) in my Schaff's Church History. I want to know how the ECF viewed things regarding the "mystery made known to us [apostles and prophets]" which is littered throughout the NT. The idea is that authority was given to people based on the revelation they received from God. As such, this is the mark of an apostle, which I think is a title (and perhaps not the same as an office in church government) that continues today (though not in the same sense as "the 12"). Elsewise, if anyone knows of any resources that would be beneficial in my pursuit of learning more about "authority given based on the degree of revelation" that would also be most helpful.

Donald Cobb Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) For starters, I would do a search like this: apostle* <AND> myster* , making sure that you have the range set to "paragraph" and not "article," the latter giving you over a thousand results to sift through. Searching by Scripture passage might not be precise enough, as allusions to Scripture are not always picked up in ECF. You could also try apostle* <AND> prophet* <AND> myster*, but that will also orient you towards results that talk mostly about OT prophets, so it might be less helpful.

Jesse Dornfeld Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 @ReformedDoc and @Donald Cobb, thank you both! One other question I have (for Schaff's Chruch History) is how to easily reference what writing I am looking at after a search. I shall look into both of your solutions and report back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 There's also a "Scripture" field in Tools you can use for searching Scriptures of any tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Dornfeld Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share Posted July 23, 2023 I'm wondering if someone can help me with searching. I want to do this search, but it is only searching for the or function: "Save* <AND> Us <OR> We" It doesn't work. I get hits for things like Genesis 1:26. How do I search for a combination of <AND> and <OR> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrylmy Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 2 hours ago, Jesse Dornfeld said: How do I search for a combination of <AND> and <OR> You just need to enclose the 'or' elements with parentheses. In your example, it would be: Save* <AND> (Us <OR> We). You can find out more details on search commands and symbols in the Help files. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I replied saying the one he did up above seems correct, I just did mine on the fly when you asked.

Thank you. I appreciate it. I guess it is partly my fault. I am still trying to hammer out the details of what to search for. I tried to use the search you gave (I'm looking in the epistles primarily) and I am getting hits for "we" and nothing else. IDK if there is a problem on my end or not. No idea what is going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Dornfeld Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 I've tried this which gives me better hits... save* <AND> (us <OR> we ) But not enough hits. I'll continue to try and work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
