As a Verbum Now subscriber why would this be excluded in Logos 10? Now I'm questioning what other datasets are not included in Logos. Is there a comparison chart that shows that?
Why do you think the Church History Themes dataset is not included in Logos?
It's excluded as a Verbum Now subscriber. I was under the impression that something such as Church History Themes dataset would be included. Actually, it's not part of Verbum 10.
Verbum Now doesn't include a few Logos-specific features. I think this comparison should be accurate: https://www.logos.com/compare/featuresets?productIds=228476,228483
Thanks. Is there a way to separately purchase this dataset without buying the full fledged featured package?
Not at the moment, sorry.
Well, Catholic History only goes back a few centuries, so not much to look at (joking).
Then, Verbum users only read the OT (YLT interlinear). Logos users only read the NT (YLT interlinear).
I can't imagine $50 more to turn to the NT.
Having acquired the new Church History Themes resource, I can see very clearly that Catholics are not part of its target audience.
I was wondering if I should upgrade from Verbum Full to Logos Full. I guess I won't.
Well, Catholic History only goes back a few centuries,
We're trying very hard to get the early history back from those who are hijacking it and remolding it to meet their needs. [;)]
It's sad that Faithlife continues to do stuff like this--release features/resources that ignore that Catholic, Orthodox, Liturgical, Non-Evangelical, and/or Ecumenical Christians exist.

Yes. I can understand if a tool or resource is written for a specific denomination and presents it from that perspective. But if it's supposed to be viewed as for all Christians, it shouldn't do that.
It's not like Catholics care about church history or anything... smh (sarcasm)
Today more than ever it is possible to create ecumenical groups of scholars who work together and produce products that everyone can be fine with - much of academia works this way already, and resources like Wikipedia show that it isn't so difficult as long as you involve people from different backgrounds in the editorial and writing process. Faithlife has taken some steps in this direction... hoping it will soon become the default way of working. 🙏
In fairness to Faithlife, from what I read of it yesterday, this resource was written to be amenable to all of the L10 product lines, including the Orthodox.
Well I went ahead and bought this. Disappointed it was not part of the Verbum Full Feature upgrade.
So why wouldn't they include it in Verbum if this is the case? Is it somehow amenable to the Orthodox but not to Roman Catholics or even Easter Rite Catholics?
Graham,
You posted this some time ago, so you may already know the answer.
Church History Themes were not included in the Verbum Feature Sets. You are looking at the standard ("Protestant" editions) Logos Feature sets.
