Lesson 4 | Searching the Original
Congratulations!
You’ve Completed the Searching Mini-Course.
In this course, you have gained the skills of searching topics, theological questions, exegetical questions, and the original language words behind your English translation. Along the way you also picked up the ability to compose complex search combos, sharpen and define a theological question, and assess how “close” one passage is to another with concentric circles.
May these new skills serve your deeper study of Scripture and love for Jesus.
