Does Logos/Faithlife want to be taken seriously by the accademic world?

Ken McGuire

Back in High School, when looking at Colleges, I learned that when someone asks you "What text did you use?" they meant "Who were the authors?" and not the exact title. Yet whenever Logos releases something, the marketing I have received almost always has talked about the title and not the author, no matter if it is web, email, or print.

Now with Logos 7 there are all these Library set lists that they have provided - with titles like "John," "Systematic Theology," etc.Yes, I often know the resources well enough to do some detective work at Logos.com to see if is indeed the work I think it is. But Logos/Faithlife is making it hard to find the information we want instead of making it easier.

I know I have complained about this issue before - and there have been others who have complained also about marketing that has little substance.

And so I am left with this frustrating question. Do they want to be taken seriously?

I would agree and I chalked it up to an oversight on launch day, but now that you bring it up, these titles really should be made more clear.  Simply stating "1 Samuel" under the "Commentary" section, tells us nothing about what this title is, what series it is a part of, what historical era they're writing from, or the authors name.  There are numerous titles listed. 

At best it's unhelpful, at worst it's confusing.
