    Aren't subjects LOC as well as Faithlife?

    LOC??

    If I understand your comment, Faithlife books have Subjects that cannot be changed by the user.

    LOC = Library of Congress.

    I had the same thought as David but with a bit of research convinced myself that FL has strayed from straight LOC data.

    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."

    Doubtful resources with subj:Bible-Commentaries

    • Word Biblical Commentary, Volume 50: Jude, 2 Peter

    I think several of the WBC bible commentaries have this subject (in full it reads Bible--Commentaries--Collected Works for those 18 volumes in my library) and while possibly redundant, given the Bible OT/Bible NT subjects present, I'm not sure why this seems doubtful. It's inconsistent, yes.

    It conflicts with Single-volume commentaries that use Bible--Commentaries. as the subject (to avoid listing individual bible books).

    Bible.O.T.--Commentaries and Bible.N.T.--Commentaries also avoid listing individual books.

    I agree with Dave. And to think about it, doesn't redundance cause a certain amount of confusion when searching? 

    Thanks Dave.

    xn = Christan man=man -- Acts 11:26 "....and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch".

    At least some individual Hermeneia volumes also have that subject. Likewise WBC 23A: Ecclesiastes, and probably others.
