D.A. Carson's "Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount And His Confrontation with the World" is not classified under type:commentary and does not link with the bible for side by side reading. 

also

The "Not Your Average Bible Study" series is classified as a commentary when it isn't. It is not a big deal but it is a little annoying having this series appear when I am alternating between commentaries. 

Thanks Logos team. Keep up the fantastic work!

God bless,

George

    I don't have the first resource to actually check but the Logos definition of commentary is not always self-evident:

    1. First check that there is an Bible reference index

    2. Sometimes a resource that could be a commentary is made a monograph at users' request to keep a series consistent. However the "Not Your Average Bible Study" has retained a mixed status depending on the actual structure of the resource.

    See the screen shot at https://community.logos.com/forums/p/98592/680924.aspx for additional information.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    "Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount And His Confrontation with the World" does not have a Bible Index while "Not Your Average Bible Study" does:
