New Features & Improvements for Subscribers
  • Factbook
    • Lenses
      • Lenses allow users to switch between various aspects of a topic, like Biblical or Theological. This filters which sections are shown, and can affect what Key Article is shown.
    • Sections for Bible References
      • People, Places, and Things, lists all the Biblical Entities from the passage.
      • Biblical Events lists all the things that happened in the passage, replacing the old Events section for Bible references.
