I have two searches that I run over and over again that I think should be available directly in Logos/Verbum - an interactive, a guide section, or an option in the concordance guide section. If Logos maintained the collections I use, they would likely be much more accurate.

  1. Where a passage is referenced as support in a creed, profession of faith etc. - topic of the article, the reference, the name of the profession of faith - This is my go to in order to see how different traditions have interpreted a reference.
  2. Less crucial but still very useful - a similar dataset drawn from the various catechisms.

I personally find these more useful than the data currently available based on theology books written by specific authors. I can safely assume communal agreement on creeds and catechisms.

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."
