Examples of on the fly collections

Translations by R. H. Charles who specialized in pseudepigrapha:

P24-1 Sel Charles

Run query:

P24-2 Run Charles

Books broadly about the Book of Common Prayer

Note this is a very rough cut but rough cuts are often sufficient.

P24-3 Sel BCP

Run query:

P24-4 Run BCP

New books that downloaded yesterday

Select

P24-5 Sel Date

Run query:

P24-6 Run Date

In sermons/homilies of St. John Chrysostom

A rough cut that won’t find entries in anthologies or not categorized with the sermon type. However, it does pick up some that have not yet received the Sermon label. Note I used simple text for Chrysostom thinking that the translators often appear as author … but this led to the false positive on Rev. Richard Watson.

P24-7 Sel Sermon

Run query:

P24-8 Run Sermon

Resources by Scott Hahn and some buddies

Full selection: author:("Hahn, Scott", "Shea, Mark", "Flaherty, Regis J.", "Mitch, Curtis")

P24-9 Sel Hahn

Run query

P24-10 Run Hahn

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."

    I think, from my experience with new users and my own impatience more than once, it would be helpful to clearly indicate the next step (I'd probably mark it in the screenshot):

    click on the row with the open book icon that says "XX resources with filterABCDE"

    yes it fools me more than once, putting the filter in and seeing it got XX number of results is not sufficient, since the program doesn't put the selection cursor there - as people might expect intuitively - , but onto the first single book in the list below (which for me never is what I really want). So this click is not to be neglected.

    Only then comes the next step and will work according to expectations:

    Run query:

    P24-2 Run Charles

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile
