Thank you for your interest in the New Bible Dictionary. In this Help article, we will go through a few ways to use this resource to get the most out of your Bible study.
Use the Dictionary in the Main Window
One way to view the New Bible Dictionary is in the main window. This option will allow you to navigate using the Table of Contents for the resource.
Select the dictionary from your Library to open it. To access the Table of Contents, tap on the navigation menu.
This will reveal the Table of Contents that you can use to navigate anywhere in the dictionary.
Use the Dictionary in the Resource Guide
Another way to view the New Bible Dictionary is in Resource Guide in the Study Center. As you read through your Bible text, the Resource Guide searches through all the downloaded resources in your Library to find related Bible study content.
For this example, I have opened the English Standard Version in the main window. You can choose any Bible from your Library. Next, select the green 'Open Study Center' bar at the bottom of the screen.
Select 'Resource Guide' to open the Resource Guide. Scroll down in the Resource Guide until you see 'People', 'Places', and 'Topics'. Tap or click on the person/place/topic you want to learn more about.
In this example, we've chosen 'Daniel' from the New Bible Dictionary in the 'People' section.
As you are reading the article, any Scripture references are linked so that you can tap to read the Bible text in a pop-up window.
Use the Dictionary with our Lookup Tool
Tap and hold a word in the Bible text and a menu bar will appear with various options. Tap the 'Lookup' button to get results from your downloaded dictionaries on the selected word. From here, you can follow the same steps as you would in the Resource Guide option above.
