Logos 4: Finding Metaphors and Similes for the Word of God

A Logos user recently e-mailed me this question:

I want to study the images of the Word of God. For example: the Word of God is like a sword… How do I accomplish that?

Here’s my response:

Perhaps the most straightforward way is to:

• Open a topical Bible like Naves Topical Bible (1)
• Navigate to the article for Word of God (1)
• Click the plus sign to the right of its tab to open to others resources with a Word of God article like Zondervan Dictionary of Bible Themes (2)
• Most of these topical resources have a section that lists the analogies with the Word (3)
