WBSA is an online search that lets internet users lookup Bible verses by topic. Type in a word or topic and click the search button to see what the Bible says about it....

Where does the material in WBSA come from?

WBSA is based on The New Nave's Topical Bible, a revision of the classic reference work, Nave's Topical Bible, which was written in the later part of the 19th century by Dr. Orville Nave. The original Nave's was revised and expanded by James Swanson; the resulting New Nave's Topical Bible is Copyright 1997 Logos Research Systems, Inc. [back to top]
 

Passage Lookups

Passage lookups are useful when you want to find a specific passage in the Bible and you know the reference (i.e. John 3:16). Enter the reference in the text box, select one or more Bible versions to display from the list, and click "go". Optionally, you may specify the following parameters:

Hide footnotes

Footnotes provide additional notes from the Bible translators, and are displayed by default. Check this box to hide them from the results.

Hide cross-references

When a verse refers to another verse elsewhere in the Bible, cross-references point to the other verse. They are turned on by default, but checking this box will hide them from the results. [back to top]

Word Searches

Word searches are useful for finding verses or passages when you don't know the reference for where they can be found. In effect, word searches function as a high-powered concordance or index to the entire Bible. Enter the word(s) you wish to find in the text box, choose a Bible version from the list and then click "go". Optionally, you may specify the following parameters:

Restrict search to

If you want to search only a portion of the Bible, select the appropriate option. The different groupings of books are explained here.

Start search at / End search at

As an alternate method of searching portions of the Bible, you can select the books to start and end the search.

Results per page

You can specify the number of search results that will display on a single page before a link is created to a second search results page. Some versions of the Bible have copyright limits upon the number of verses that can be displayed at one time. If you choose a results number higher than the copyright limit, only the number of verses specified by the copyright limit will be displayed.

Find whole words only

If you check this box, searches will be limited to whole words only. For example, if you put "laughter" in the search box, and leave "Find whole words" unchecked, it will find verses with both "laughter" and "slaughter". If you check the "Find whole words" check box, the search will only find verses with "laughter" in them.

Display results as references only

Check this box if you don't want to see the text of the verses themselves, but only where they can be found. [back to top]
