The index is up to date as of March 9, 2017 and it was amazing for me to see how much I had written. Topics are alphabetical, except that all the Biblical Reflections are in the Order they appear in the Bible broken down by book (so this is a long section) so once you get past all the books of the Bible then the alpha starts over with Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Book Reviews. The Religious Images are based on their order in the church year. Maybe not the perfect system but hopefully you can find what you are seeking.
