Reading a whole archive at once
Most tools read one sermon at a time. The interesting work starts when a system can hold years of teaching together.
By Doug Gough
A single sermon is a narrow thing to work from. It says what it says, in the order it says it, and a tool that reads only that is limited to summarising.
What changes is scale. When a system holds every message a church has preached — plus the statements of faith and doctrinal writing that sit behind them — a question like what have we taught about forgiveness stops being a search problem and becomes a gathering problem.
That is the distinction Unfold is built around. Not a better summariser, but something that can draw on the whole body of teaching at once and keep every line traceable to where it was actually said.
