I know the books of the Bible are not arranged in chronological order. Is there a way in Logos, however, to quickly see the books in the order they were written? I have looked for the Bible books explorer inside Logos but cannot find it.
Chronological order can mean (a) the order of the events described or (b) the order of the final edit yielding the current contents or (c) the order of the first cut of an initial draft of an element of the current contents. As none of said dates are conclusively known, there is no quick way to see them in order. Useful resources:
Does Logos have the Reese Chronological Study Bible?
Chronological order can mean (a) the order of the events described or (b) the order of the final edit yielding the current contents or (c) the order of the first cut of an initial draft of an element of the current contents. As none of said dates are conclusively known, there is no quick way to see them in order. Useful resources: Rhodes, Ron. A Chronological Tour through the Bible. Eugene, OR: Harvest House, 2018.

Cavin's Bible Timeline is the old edition and does not match the newer hardcopy editions, unfortunately.
I have this in my Logos library

The weekdays are OT and the weekends are NT, so I guess it is flipping back and forth. If you follow all the weekdays, followed by all the weekends, it must be reasonably chronological.
I found less in the store than I expected to find.
Hmm, so ... I would not be surprised if I am told that there are NO chronological lists that can be sited in a academic paper? We are supposed to be reading about all the chronological debates and compile the data collected by individual "experts" in their limited fields of study?
Is Reese's Bible "folk theology" to the people that use that word when they flunk students?
I'm looking for the general expectations of students. Yes, I know "ask the professor!", but I like having the context of the general expectations before I ask professors.

The Timeline in the Bible Books Explorer is a reasonable representation of what one can cite from 30 overview resources ...
Thanks for showing me that! I don't have most of the books linked, but have at least one. When i follow the link, it takes me to the book, but not to anything with dates. I guess it is somewhere else in the book.
My bigger concern is that I don't think most of those books can be quoted as an academic source.
I have not been asked to write about chronology or dates, yet, in a sourced paper. I have studied some about the subject, because it interests me. I don't know how to apply the general rules that I have adopted as "appropriate" to chronology.
I found the drop down menu, instead of just the links. That is a little more helpful.
But this is when the books are WRITTEN, not when the events occurred?

There is significant disagreement in academic communities about when particular material was written. TimeLine will reveal when your tagged resources claim a date for a particular corpus
