I noticed that the Baptist denominations don't seem to be included in the Believers Baptism collection? Certainly the SBC should be, and if a baptist denomination holds to infant baptism I'm un-aware of it. That is a baptist distinctive.

Thanks, abs. I think you are looking at the old Theology: Believers' Baptism collection, which was superseded by Church Theology: Believers' Baptism some time ago. The collection had hit the character limit for a cell in Excel, so I decided to do it by denomination instead. Basically, all authors were categorised for this by denomination anyway. I've now deleted Theology: Believers' Baptism and Theology: Infant Baptism, which had the same problems.
abondservant: Roy Zuck doesn't seem to be categorized?He's dispensational, and attended a bible church that is now called firewheel - an interdenominational evangelical church.

Thanks again. He'll be included in the next release.
Jan Krohn: Here's one more that's still missing: John D. Castelein - Restoration Movement / Churches of Christ (a denomination generally not well covered on the list yet...) Another thing - would it make sense to open a request on Logos user voice to integrate this project into the actual Logos application? It might be quite successful. I did create a User Voice request to include all marketing tags (denomination, language, hierarchy by topic) in the Logos app some time ago, but I think this list here is more precise for denominations than the Logos marketing tags.

Thanks, Jan. I've added John D. Castelein. That will be in the next release. I'm happy for you to provide as much information on Restoration Movement authors as you can, so long as you give adequate evidence.
You're spot on with asking for this to be part of Logos. I just wasn't sure I had the energy to promote it. I asked Bob Pritchett to add a feature that incorporated this data back in May 2013. He sounded positive, and I prompted him again back in September 2014. He said they were working on it and apologised that it was taking so long. I guess it's taking even longer than he had thought back then, though it's hard for those of us on the outside to see why. I've been meaning to ask him again, so I'll do that in the next few days.
In the meantime, I've given three votes to your User Voice suggestion , and suggest that others do the same. There are well over 1000 people using the collections directly through the Faithlife group (https://faithlife.com/logos-library-theology-denomination-tags/documents), so it should be popular.

Thanks again, Jan.

Note that Central Bible Quarterly is listed as American Baptist, USA. It is published by Central Baptist Theological Seminary. There are two schools by that name in the US. The one in Kansas is affiliated with the American Baptist, USA. The other one is located in Minnesota and is very independent. I believe the journal in question is published by the school located in Plymouth, Minnesota. Thus, this journal probably does not belong in the American Baptist group.

MJ, how did you create that chart?
Fred - while perhaps you expected someone much prettier, and less handsome to answer your question, the way I made a similar chart was to use the Denom Stream collections to get a count for their associated resources in my library. THEN put all the numbers into an excel graph - and viola.
Thanks, but did you put each collection into excel? I am a bit foggy on this.
The total of the products in each category you plan to track.
Perhaps this is a silly question, and no offense intended if I'm wrong here; aren't Catholics all infant baptizers? I only ask because a few of the people in the Catholic collection on my computer are not also in the Infant Baptism collection.Thanks in advance.
Andrew Baguley:Thanks, Jan. I've added John D. Castelein. That will be in the next release. I'm happy for you to provide as much information on Restoration Movement authors as you can, so long as you give adequate evidence.
The faculty staff listings on Logos Almanac should be a good source of information. I've not gone through the entire thread, so maybe that's been discussed before.
For example:
https://almanac.logos.com/Lincoln_Christian_Seminary
By publisher, for example Illumination Publishers... Logos doesn't distribute them, but if it's proof enough, I can go through the authors' list and see if any of them are on Logos or Vyrso as well.

Awesome. It's a shame I can't edit the suggestion any more, so I can't refer to the project directly.
I also think that the shops on Logos.com and Vyrso should be using this database to do their denomination tagging. It's far more comprehensive than the marketing tags.

Thanks, Jack. I think this was something I fixed some time ago. Is it possible that you're using an out of date version of the collections?
I was surprised that the collections needed to be updated by users as well as me. This would no longer be true if we can get Logos to take over the project, as suggested here: https://logos.uservoice.com/forums/42823-logos-bible-software-6/suggestions/9285627-library-hierarchy-and-filtering
Please give it as many votes as you can. It's currently the hottest trending suggestion on User Voice.
Thanks for the question, abs. It still sounds like you're using the wrong copy of the collection, as in my previous post. Are you using Church Theology: Infant Baptism? My version includes Denom. Stream: Catholic, along with many other Denomination Streams. Does yours?

Thanks, Jan. Some seminaries only employ lecturers from a particular denomination. Others don't. If you know of a seminary that does, then that would be proof enough and if you were willing to list the ones in Logos that haven't yet been categorised, then I'd be happy to use that. Similarly, most publishers publish books from authors of many denominations. If you know of a publisher that publishes books by authors of just one denomination, then that would also be proof enough. If you have a good source, then feel free to point me to it, rather than try to provide evidence for each author individually. I'm all for saving time.

Thanks for the compliment, Jan. The spreadsheet has many more denominations and more information than the collections available on the Faithlife page. Thanks for the suggestion on User Voice as well. It's currently the hottest suggestion, joint 39th and rising fast, out of over 1000 suggestions.
Given the flurry of interest, I'll post the latest copy of the spreadsheet. I've added most of the authors from the base packages and many new collections, such as https://www.logos.com/product/43966/library-of-hebrew-bible-old-testament-studies. It will take some time to categorise them all though. If your favourite authors aren't on the list, feel free to suggest them. If you have some time on your hands and would be willing to spend time on the authors that currently say 'No Info', then that would be greatly appreciated. 'No info' only means that a very quick search showed up no info. There is probably info around for most of even these authors.
The latest spreadsheet is: 7848.Denominations and Theology - 14 November 2015.zip
The reference guide is: 0564.Theology and Denomination Tag Reference.doc

Adding the denom stream collections to the freshly downloaded rule from your project; I found the following:1. adding catholics took me from 647 - 1400+ in the collection. 2. adding presbyterians took me from 1400-2600+.3. adding orthodox (eastern and oriental) took me from ~2600-2675~4. adding in the lutherans took me to 2868. adding in my reformed collection (Which is I think is basically your rules, but with mytag:reformed added in) brings me up to:45706. adding in the episcopals brings me up to 4688 or a difference of three titles between my personal collection, and the sum total of the collections from the project... Something went sideways in the rules I think....
I wonder if when you add collections to the box in the rule builder, if those don't transfer well when such a collection is shared. Maybe I have to have all of your collections downloaded and active on my machine with the precise name you gave them rather than their updated names like: Denom. Stream: Lutheran (4) would need to lose the (4) for it to work properly?
You can add John Ankerberg as a Dispensationalist
https://www.jashow.org/articles/prophecy/biblical-prophecy/dispensational-theology/
W.A. Criswell was a Dispensationalist.
You need to correct Lewis Sperry Chafer as Charismatic and remove this designation. He was a Cessationist and a Presbyterian he did not believe in the continuation of all Spiritual Gifts such as speaking in tongues. Chafter was a Dispensationalist and founder of Dallas Theological Seminary. Some older Charismatics may use some points of his eschatology but he himself is clearly not Charismatic.
