We loved the Encyclopedia of Ancient Christianity<\/a> so much, that we were the first to release it in digital format!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This three-volume encyclopedia offers unparalleled, comprehensive coverage of the people, places and ideas of ancient Christianity. With our app, you can access eight centuries of the Christian church no matter where you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are three ways<\/strong> to use the Encyclopedia of Ancient Christianity<\/a> in the Olive Tree Bible App!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIRST: Use the Encyclopedia of Ancient Christianity in the Study Center.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Open your favorite Bible translation in the main window and the Resource Guide in the Study Center.  As you read through your Bible text, the Resource Guide searches through all the downloaded resources in your library to find related Bible study content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll notice that the Resource Guide pulls related content from all of your downloaded resources.  If you scroll down the Resource Guide results, you will see the section headings \u201cPeople,\u201d \u201cPlaces,\u201d and \u201cTopics.\u201d  These headings give you the results of articles based on your downloaded resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Olive<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Select the person, place, or topic you want to learn more about. I chose \u201cAnointing\u201d in this example.  The app then brings you results from within the resources you have on your device.  This is where you will find the Encyclopedia of Ancient Christianity<\/a> within the Resource Guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Olive<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll notice that the resource has the words \u201cArticle on Anointing\u201d underneath the book cover.  Select the book cover and you’ll see an article within the Encyclopedia of Ancient Christianity<\/a>. As you are reading the article, any Scripture references become hyperlinks that you can view in a pop-out window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"App<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

SECOND: Use the Encyclopedia of Ancient Christianity as a traditional dictionary.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Open the encyclocpedia in the main window and tap the \u201cGo-To\u201d button. Then, scroll through this awesome resource as you would a hard-copy dictionary.  For faster results, search for the term you are looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Encyclopedia<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Third: Use the Lookup feature. <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tap and hold a word in the Bible text and a menu will appear.  Then, tap \u201cLookup\u201d and you’ll see articles from related resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Olive<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Olive<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you’re on an iOS device, you can also tap the verse number and a menu bar will appear.  Tap “Study” and you will get hits from your resources on that specific verse.  Then just follow the same steps as you would in the resource guide option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Searching<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Encyclopedia of Ancient Christianity<\/a> covers eight centuries of the Christian church and comprises 3,220 entries by a team of 266 scholars.  Using the app’s lookup feature makes this a great companion tool for many other resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can even use the lookup feature when you’ve got ta different resource in the Study Center:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Searching<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Any resource you have in the app can utilize the content in the Encyclopedia of Ancient Christianity<\/a>! Who else has this resource and loves it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interested in using this yourself?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
