Collections Rule for reformed systematic theologies

OK, who has a good rule for a dynamic collection of reformed systematic theologies? It's fine if it includes more specific monographs that deal with specific theological issues from a reformed perspective.

I'm finding a rule hard to write because of what seems to be inconsistent tagging by Logos. It may not in fact be inconsistent, as I may be too dense to figure out the pattern. Or, as the principle of parsimony suggests, it may be inconsistent. No matter, if someone can help me lick this problem.

I don't. [:D]

And it's not necessarily Logos' fault that the tagging is inconsistent. They claim that the publishers pick the subject fields, so consistency would be impossible across multiple publishers. Plus whose definition of "reformed" are you going to use. I find that mine is the best, so...

I've tagged many of my theology books by theological view, and tagged the ones that I consider systematic as "st", and I use those tags to build a variety of systematic theology collections. So my reformed ST rule looks like this:

mytag:reformed mytag:st

Thanks, Todd. My Tags was one route I was hoping to avoid, but will use if necessary. I hope you won't be offended if I wait a week or so and see if anyone else has a better idea.

I love working with Logos, but don't care to manually tag hundreds of resources. But I may have to get over my laziness.

No offense here. Let me get you started with a rule that covers most of my reformed STs:

subject:(reformed,presbyterian,calvinism) AND subject:"theology, doctrinal"

You could use that rule and then add in the ones it misses manually (by dragging from the library to the collection window). Or you could tag the ones it misses and add a tag rule to the base rule.

That rule will miss "reformed baptist" STs like Grudem, Strong, and Boyce, which I like to include in my collection. Now that's a harder collection to define (reformed baptist).
