The easiest way to find a resource is to search. For example, in the search window you might enter a particular Bible text (book and chapter). The results will appear on your screen, and you can double-click on the title of any item.
To help you locate materials, we have created an “index” of alternate terms under which a document might be searched. For example, one Christian tradition might refer to the “Lord’s Supper” while another to the “Eucharist.” If you type in a search term and no results appear, look at the index below for help in finding a different search term.
- Communion: See also Lord’s Supper
- Ecumenism: See also Unity
- Eucharist: See Communion or Lord’s Supper
- Hispanics: See also Latinos
- Last Supper: See Communion or Lord’s Supper
- Latinos: See also Hispanics
- Lord’s Supper: See also Communion
- Mass: See Communion or Lord’s Supper
- Tongues: See Languages
- Unity: See also Ecumenism
- Once you are on a page of results, if you click on the title of a document, you will be able to see information unique to that document, including a very brief statement about the document, a thumbnail of the document so that you can see what it is about, and a link listed under “download file” to the full text.
- Once you are looking at a specific item, near the bottom of the screen, you will also see a list of “tags” associated with that title. If you click on one of the “tags,” you will see a results page that lists all other documents that have the same “tag.” If the tags are in English, the document is in English. If the tags are in Spanish, the document is in Spanish. The only exception is that Bible references will always appear in both languages (e.g., Lucas 12 / Luke 12). You can then proceed as described above by clicking on a document’s title.
- A second option is to “browse all.” In this case, the items are randomly listed. You will see the tags related to each title listed as well. These tags function in the same manner as detailed above.
- A final option is to “browse by collection.” Similar resources have been grouped into collections for easy searching. Currently, most of our collections include weekly Bible lessons—the teacher version—covering three months and published either in Lecciones Cristianas or in El Discípulo. If you click on a collection, the results page will include all thirteen lessons for that quarter.
- At any point, you may return to the home page by clicking “Home” in the navigation bar. You can go back one screen by using your browser’s back arrow.
