How Do I Search for Journal Articles?

[Enoch]

I wanted to find articles written on Caleb among my journals. However, when I did the research search of my journals, I got apparently all the individual sentences that have "Caleb" in them instead of titles of journal articles. How can I search for the occurrence of Caleb in journal titles?

 

(BTW, when I saw the results, I was wishing there were a slider to expand the text where Caleb occurred sometimes.)

The Research browser tells you which field was searched for each set of results, and lists the results in Titles first, so maybe there weren't any?

 

The More text is a button that lets you see more of the article right there in the results pane, no need for a slider.

I just did the search. There is only one flex hit for Caleb in a tile or entry; which is "Caleb's Vow", the rest are english hits where he's mentioned in the body of the text.

 

What exactly are you wanting out of the Journal search for Caleb? (what info are you looking for?)

 

The dictionaries have a LOT of entries for Caleb.

I read dictionaries, but got no satisfaction. The multiplicity of entries doesn't mean that one finds a definitive study. Compare all the stuff written on "flesh" (sarx) as the Pauline word for the negative pole in Christian human nature. But it turns out that there is this interesting question of Caleb's ancestry & ethnicity. (& there is more than one Caleb). One would think from the story of the 12 spies that Caleb was of Judah, as he was the Judah spy. However, he is "accused" by some scholars of being an Edomite as a Kennizite (Kenaz as ancestor). Then there is a debate about whether he was named "dog," or K + LB = "like heart." I thought I might find a journal article which settled Caleb's hash once & for all, at least to my satisfaction.

 

One would think that with hundreds of years of journal articles, someone would have waxed profuse on Caleb whilst they were settling the question of Die konkreten Einzelgebote

Thanks. I take it that you mean that there is no way to merely search for journal titles that have some word in them, but that the system lists occurrences in titles before occurrences in texts.

True when you search the whole "Journals" module as a whole but if you open up one journal then you can search whatever fields that particular journal has available; Title, Entry, English Content, Greek Content...etc.

 

Same goes for all other modules.
