A Passage Guide is the quickest and most exhaustive way to find where a passage is referenced or discussed in your Library. It provides fast access to many resources, such as commentaries, journals, cross-references, parallel passages, ancient literature references, photos, maps, illustrations, sermons, and more. It also links to the Bible Facts datasets providing information on People, Places, Events, and Things referenced in the passage.

This article shows you how to access the Guide, how to choose the passage you want to study, and some of the key information provided in the Guide.
