Commentary Types

Pater Noster

The commentary section of the passage guide allows for grouping by Type. I was watching a Morris Proctor video on this, he had a chart (below) that was developed early, pre Logos 9 release; I know it may be missing some types that I see (like Exegetical). I am wondering if there is any explanation, however brief, of these Types? I figure FL may have some documentation since they needed to make at least consistent decisions on how to group commentaries. Or is there anything in the Wiki? I couldn't find anything. Some of these Types I have no idea what they are, others I am not sure if FL thinks they are what I think they are. This all affects how to best interpret what the commentary says if I am using it. Thanks!

I agree that these should be documented in the in-program Help resource.

I'm also still waiting for the Lectionary type to be populated.

As you state, these come from MP and they don't necessarily align with those from FL:

• Critical and Exegetical (or "Critical & Explanatory" titles)  ==> FL Exegetical
• Expository and Homiletical ==> FL Expositional  and FL Homiletic
• Catena e.g. "Catena Aurea"  ==>  FL Exegetical
•  Bible Notes and Study Bible reflect FL resource types.

I think there should be a Manual to document commentary Types and also explain Denomination. Note that some commentaries belong to two commentary types.
