[sword-devel] The usefulness of gen book modules

[Don A. Elbourne Jr.]

Does Sword index scripture references in gen books?

In other words, does the Sword engine provide the possibility of 
creating some sort of "passage study" tool? For example a user could 
submit a particular passage, like Eph 2:8-9. The query would return a 
list of links to citations in gen books where the scripture reference 
exists.

I am not necessarily making a feature request (although this feature 
would be very cool - so please do not flame me) I'm just wondering if 
the possibility exists. If so, I would be more willing to help convert  
classic Systematic theologies, historic creeds, and puritan sermons into 
Sword module format. then I could wait until someone wants to build it 
into a front end. Without this feature, it doesn't seem that gen book 
modules afford much usefulness.

Having something like this would serve me well in sermon preparation. If 
I'm preaching a particular passage, I'd love to have the ability to 
search my gen book collection for any citation of that passage.
