L4B3 Problem Identifying Resource in the Prioritized Listing

Dale Durnell, Retired UM Clergy

I found that moving up to L4B3, I lost all my prioritized listings on the Library page and had to reconstruct them. If this is WAD, then that's fine. If it's not WAD then it's something that needs to be looked at.

One of my prioritized resources in my Bibles is the Tanakh. I clicked on the Tanakh in the library list and dragged it to the priority list, where it shows up as a very strangely identified resource. It's showing up as "The Tanakh 1917 to the Jewish NT (2 Volumes)" see atch'd

I don't know what this is all about. I want the Tanakh in my priority listing. I want the 1997 from the JPS (not the 1917 edition), and I certainly don't want a reference to the Jewish NT (not when I'm wanting to read the Hebrew scriptures).

Subsequently, I found that I could open my library listing, find the Tanakh, right click on it, and click to prioritize the resource. This method worked just fine. But, for all the click and dragging that L4 is touting, the results of dragging that particular resource to the priority list is certainly less than sterling.

Of course, this also begs a question -- I don't have a copy of the 1917 Tanakh in my Logos library -- I just searched for it. I do have the JNT, but it's only 1 volume (from what I can see). However a little further digging finds that if I promote this spurious listing to the top of the stack, and open the lectionary, then Tanakh is being used for the readings from the Hebrew Scriptures and the JNT is being used for the New Testament readings.

Now, this maybe WAD, but while I want to create a corpus priority listing for the Preacher's Commentary, or the Word Biblical Commentary, I would not expect a NT translation of the Bible to automatically be associated with an OT translation, (especially from two different publishing houses, with two *VERY* different theologies and - dare I say - two very disparate  "agendas").

It looks like it's part of a Series.  Books that are part of a series will add the whole series to the Preferred list.  Sort the library by series and look for "The Tanakh 1917 to the Jewish NT" to see all the books in that series.  Perhaps it's mistagged.

Hi Todd --

Just searched my library for "The Tanakh 1917" and before I could get the 1917, the only two listings I found were the Jewish New Testament and the Tanakh. I'm going to argue here that something is seriously mistagged if it picks up the JNT when looking for the Tanakh, since the very title of the Tanakh is a contraction (abbreviation) for the three parts of the Hebrew Scripture and there is nothing in the JNT that should be calling itself the Tanakh.

Additionally, I have no resources in my library that are contain, as part of the Title, "1917" (although I do have a paperback edition of the 1917 Tanakh that was issued to U.S. military forces.
