For some reason there are two different results when I search for John MacArthur. Can these two be reconciled?

    Since the one we call John MacArthur is a Jr., there are indeed two Johns MacArthur. But the lists you show are the same guy, and it's because the author names are different for the resources. It looks like Harvest House, Baker and David C Cook generally refer to him as Jr., while Thomas Nelson, Crossway and Moody generally refer to him as John F. MacArthur. It would be nice to have those consolidated, but I doubt they'll put the effort into it.
