Instruments for working with the collection

The site is a collection; these are its instruments. Compare two worldviews section by section, read an entity against the Christian faith, trace a tradition through its divisions, and search everything from one place. Each tool works on the same records the essays and pages present; nothing here is a separate silo.

The Diptych

Any two worldviews, section by section across twenty fixed sections, each cell bound to the site's own content. The Diptych displays; it does not score, rank, or adjudicate.

The Worldview Tree

Every worldview as a drill-down tree of first-class entities: branches, schools, denominations, and movements, each with its own distinctive and its place in the whole.

The Christian Assessment

For every entity on the site: how it compares to Christianity across ten loci, and whether it is a Christian worldview, answered in five distinguished senses under published criteria.

The Workshop

The workbench of the Methods of Theological Discovery. The Workshop is a scaffold, never a generator: the user authors every output, no output is presented as the site's conclusion, and no comparison carries a score, a rank, or a best-method designation. Its bench stands here so the shape of the toolbox is complete while it is built.

Methods of Theological Discovery

Every method of theological discovery as a first-class record: its assumptions, genealogy, step procedure, inputs, outputs, quality criteria, common errors, and critics, with comparative runs of up to four methods side by side in the Workshop. The methods' site stances wait on the same reviewer naming as the Christian Assessment verdicts.

The History Index

The History landing page rebuilt as a working index: every published event post listed with its image, its date, and its tradition, with search and filters over the whole corpus, in place of the roll-up.

In preparation

Language Discovery

Language as a dimension of the whole site, not one section: move from a language to every worldview that uses it, and from a worldview to every language it uses, through the language-by-worldview pages, the overlap index, and the script index, with faceted search across the fabric.

In preparation

The References Desk

The site's sources as a working apparatus: every reference browsable and searchable, each attached to the records that cite it, with citation export in BibTeX, RIS, and CSL-JSON.
