Subject: what type of book is the bible, research |
Bible Note: You should have got hits in a Search engine with Tanak though I may have confused you by putting TaNaK to hint at the sections. Transliteration is a problem also on doing searches because someone might have used Tanak or Tanach or Tanakh in a relevent page. The usual problem with searches is not too little data but too much that is irrelevant. If from your current readings you want to investigate something further search on the words from it that would not come up in a typical conversation. If you do need to look up a real Hebrew or Greek word hopefully for now you can use the number from a Strongs concordance and use it in an online lexicon like the ones at www.studylight.org which you may have seen if you got to this web page by way of www.biblegateway.com . Mashal not showing up without specifying a similar concept like proverb may be a search engine ranking problem. If you want to find reasonably priced Christian references you might look at www.ChristianBook.com at least to request catalogs. Before the internet became popular to do exhaustive research on Biblical Topics you would use the printed Religious Periodicals Index Number 1 which has been absorbed into the ATLA (American Theological Library Association) Religion Index whose CD might be available at the nearest Seminary or Bible School Library. |
