Trace the Thread

Cross-references can reveal extraordinary connections across the Bible — but only when they are used carefully.

Trace the Thread is a 43-page Bible-study workbook teaching a disciplined six-step method for following themes, quotations, allusions, repeated images and theological connections across Scripture.

You will learn how to begin with an anchor passage, establish its immediate context, collect a bounded set of references, identify what type of relationship connects them, compare similarities and differences and finally write a responsible synthesis.

A worked study on mercy and neighbour-love demonstrates the method before reusable study sheets let you apply it to your own topics.

This is ideal for Bible-study leaders, teachers, theology students and Christians wanting to move beyond simple verse lookup.
