This is a new series with Logos 9. These resources are designed to support Factbook pages on specific subject areas, linking to related information. They can also be opened from the Library as with other resources.

The first two resources launched with Logos 9 last week:

* Lists of Biblical People, Places, Things, and Events
* Lists of Words and Concepts

These two "list" resources serve to gather together a group of items with a common characteristic: for example, Apostles in the Bible (in Factbook). The articles consist of a list of links to the relevant Factbook pages, with one article per type of list.

Additional resources in this series collect together key data for individual items in a category, with one article per item (rather than per list). We've shipped the next resource of this type today: All the Miracles in the Bible. This has about 200 articles briefly capturing metadata for the individual miracles described in the Protestant canon (we hope to add miracles from the deuterocanon in a future update). This resource is derived from the same dataset behind the Miracles of the Bible interactive, but expressed in a different form for integration with Factbook. When Factbook integration is complete (this will ship in a subsequent update), these articles will be available as Factbook pages.

A number of other resources in this series are included with Logos 9 but still under development, and others have been suggested for future projects since then: these are all listed at https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-data-sets?tags=all-the-x-in-the-bible. Those marked as "In progress" are already underway: for the others, please add your vote to help prioritize our development.

    [Y] Except what happened to the miracle of the oil of Hanukkah?

    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."

    Sean and FL:

    Thank you for this. Excellent initiative.

    Now we just need the ability to do mind map kind of visuals in Canvas, to be able to do some visual index of subjects / themes. 

    (would require to place within the resource locations links in the mind map).

    A mind map example would be:
