Yes, I may embarrass myself where I've missed existent document.

Although this should be a snap to document, I find not documentation for the Biblical Events Navigator. The information I would expect to be able to find in the documentation:

  • the criteria for including an event
  • the Biblical coverage of the data
  • the attribute definitions which appear in Help ... but expanded to define criteria for determining if an individual  or thing is "important" and how discrepancies in people/things/places are resolved for tagging.
  • use in Search especially use in finding a search term within an event and can one limit search to by occurring/mentioned

Speaking for myself, I tend to ignore Logos coding for Biblical events because I do not understand the principles behind it and therefore get frustrated at what I can't find through it. to quote myself to provide a concrete example:

However, I find it frustrating that Nameless, Blameless, and Without Shame: Two Cannibal Mothers Before a King (Interfaces series) by Gina Hens-Piazza which never made it out of prepub cannot be tagged appropriately. This book is a college freshman level study of 2 Kings 6:24-33. However, Logos does not consider the story of the cannibal mothers to be of sufficient value to have a Biblical Event entry. Rather it is embedded in Ben-hadad besieges Samaria (2 Kings 6:24-7:2).. Similarly, the event of Jesus making arrangements for his Mother (John 19:25b-27) is not deemed worthy of an entry.

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."
