Using Willmington’s Book of Bible Lists

I don’t know about you, but with all the power of Logos Bible Software, sometimes I forget I can just open a resource and use it without an elaborate search, like pulling a book off the shelf. One book you may want to use in such a straightforward way is Willmington’s Book of Bible Lists, a cross-reference resource containing over 350 lists of biblical topics ranging from “Abominations to God” to “Worshipping God.” Here’s one of many ways to utilize this book, which appears in most Logos base collections.

Let’s say we’re studying Luke 22:43, in which an angel strengthens Jesus. We decide to topically examine angels throughout the Bible:

  • Type the word lists in the Command box.
  • Click Open Willmington’s Book of Bible Lists from the drop list to open the resource.
  • Type angels in the book’s reference box.
  • Press the Enter key to jump to the section in the book exploring that topic.

As you scroll through the book, notice the various lists about angels: “27 Facts about Angels,” “8 Names for the Angels,” “7 Heavenly Activities of the Angels,” etc. Of course, all the lists are cross-referenced to your preferred Bible—just click a link to look up a reference.

If you frequently find yourself using this book, drag its tab to the Shortcuts bar to create a shortcut icon for quick access.

If the book is new to you, spend a few minutes surveying it, because I think you’ll appreciate the helpful, straightforward information it contains.

  • Choose the panel menu on Willmington’s Book of Bible Lists.
  • Select Show table of contents.
