1. There are commentaries that are lectionary based. (a) The Passage Guide should segregate this group and (b) in the longer range there should be a lectionary based guide.
2. There are resources that are primarily study guides. (a) The Passage Guide should segregate this group and highlight the discussion questions and (b) these resources should work within the course tool.
3. There are resources that provide their own specific study content - types, imagery, lists, fulfilled prophecies. (a) Each of these should have its own section (or subsection) in the Passage Guide. (b) In addition, the user should be able to tag a Vyrso resource as belonging to one of these categories.
4. There are interactives which the PG should call our attention to:
- Commandments the Law
- Israelite Feasts and Sacrifices
- Miracles of the Bible
- Names of God
- New Testament Use of the Old Testament
- Speaking to God
There should also be a see also type link to:
- Bible People Visual Timelines
- Biblical Event Navigator
- Days of Creation
- Hebrew Cantillations
- Narrative Character Maps
- Parallel Gospel Reader
- Proverbs Explorer
- Psalms Provider
- Synopsis of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles
Some of these also have resources that should be noted in the Passage Guide section:
5. Monographs that are biblical studies should be tagged and displayed in a manner similar sermons including the user ability to add labels.
6. Resources highlighting textual/interpretative difficulties and examples of hermeneutical analysis should be broken out as a relevant type of resource.
7. The Outline section is incomplete and we lack the ability to add labels that would correct the problem. Pericopes should have a similar section and the missing pericopes either added or the user given the ability to code labels.
8. We need the ability to add milestones so that our Psalters can function as psalters and be used in the text comparison tool.
9. We need to be able to treat the author's translation in commentaries as Bibles and have a special form of the multiview window that allows us to see the translation, notes and commentary in parallel.
10. We need to have hymns tagged in a manner similar to sermons so that we can label what Faithlife doesn't. These hymns then belong in the Passage Guide with currently has only a pathetic outdated music section. I defer the issue of mixing or separating metrical psalms from hymns to others.
11. The ability to sort the commentaries section by date of composition would provide a very useful reception history tool.
12. The Catechism and Church Documents need to be duplicated for other denominations and show subdivisions for commentaries and sermons on the creedal documents e.g. Book of Concord, Heidelberg Confession, Westminster Confession ...
These are examples of system changes that would greatly increase the percentage of my resources that truly have value added in Logos. It would greatly decrease the amount of set up time to get this functionality. And it would make me increase my budget directed towards Faithlife.
Is this list complete - nope
