In honor of our new release of 10 new Treasures from the Scriptures volumes this is a re-post of a previously posted guest blog from author Rod Mattoon.
Let me say up front that I use Wordsearch almost every single day because I study every day. There are two main features that help me immensely.
1. The Topics button
A. Subject Research
This tool enables me to do in-depth studies on any particular subject I want to research. For example, if I am preaching through the book of Job and want to find material on “trials.” By finding verses and information about “trials,” I can then form an outline on this particular subject or incorporate the principles into my message.
Brilliant Selections of Commentary Offer New Lessons from the Past
Much can be learned from the 16th century preachers, writers, and scholars of the Reformation. With the Reformation Commentary on the Scriptures you have centralized access to treasures that very few can gather for themselves. The series introduces you to the great diversity of the Reformation, with commentary from Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican, Anabaptist, and even reform-minded Catholic thinkers. All shared a commitment to the faithful exposition of Scripture. Each volume consists of the collected comments and wisdom of the Reformers on each passage of Scripture. What you’ll have is a unique tool for the spiritual and theological reading of Scripture and a vital help for teaching and preaching.
