I would like to search and see how to find the different ways the Holy Spirit is referenced/describe by the use of synonyms that refer to it. As example I believe water and a dove is used as a reference to the Holy Spirit. I just upgraded to Logos 8 Silver and I watching videos and reading everything I can to learn about the software. But any insight here is greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance.
- We can search for Holy Spirit and referents like His, He and possibly water, dove e.g. <Person Holy Spirit> INTERSECTS water, dove --> where water, dove may be part of the referent. But the only result was for 'water' in Jn 7:38. If we right-click 'dove' in the context of Jesus e.g. Mt 3:16, we find a Figurative Language LABEL on the RHS. Click Search on the LHS and you get ---> {Label Figurative Language WHERE Category ~ <FigurativeLanguageCategory Simile, Narrow Scope> AND Source ~ <FigurativeLanguageTerm Dove> AND Target ~ <FigurativeLanguageTerm Holy Spirit> AND Type ~ <FigurativeLanguageType Dove as Holy Spirit>}. Simplify this to ---> {Label Figurative Language WHERE Target ~ <FigurativeLanguageTerm Holy Spirit>} and we get results for "water", "dove", "helper" etc.
- Also look at Tools >> Bible Browser. Select a category and see if Holy Spirit is one of its under-categories e.g. under Figurative Language > Target
- Awesome! Thanks! This is very helpful!
