Theology Guide issue
I am working in Logos 10 on my Mac in the Theology Guide. I went to select a resource from the recommended reading section (see screenshot below), but there was no link. No lock either. Not sure if this is a "me" problem (software says it's up-to-date, but I am on the Beta channel), or something with this article in the Theo. Guide or what. FWIW I tried accessing through the Lexham Survey of Theology as well with no links there either. Any help would be wonderful!

Not a problem but rather a simple misunderstanding of what you are to expect. For the survey of systematic theology, the authors were not asked to keep their recommendations to books available in the Logos library. The lock indicates that a book is in Logos but not in your library. A link indicates that the book is in your library. Neither a lock nor a link indicates the book is not available in Logos.
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."

Wow, it's surprising that they are recommending only books that are not available in Logos.
One of those already has a suggestion on the Feedback site, which I added a couple of years ago but has seen no traction yet. You might want to vote for it:
The Mediator (Brunner) - https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-book-requests/posts/the-mediator-a-study-of-the-central-doctrine-of-the-christian-faith
In the meantime, Ken McGuire has made a PB out of that one, since it's out of copyright:

The other two were not listed yet, but if they are Recommended Reading in a Theology Guide, then they should be something Faithlife is at least actively seeking to get in Logos. So I've added suggestions for them too. If you do ever come across other books like this which are recommended by Logos but not available in Logos yet, and are not yet in the Feedback site, please add them.
Christ Our Mediator (Goodwin) - https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-book-requests/posts/christ-our-mediator
Christ as Mediator (Robertson) - https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-book-requests/posts/christ-as-mediator-a-study-of-the-theologies-of-eusebius-of-caesarea-marcellus-of-ancyra-and-athanasius-of-alexandria-oxford-theology-and-religion-monographs
Some other books on Jesus as Mediator that are not in that Recommended Reading list but are available in Logos:
God’s Mediators: A Biblical Theology of Priesthood (Malone)
Messiah the Prince; or, The Mediatorial Dominion of Jesus Christ (Symington)
The latter two are 19th century works, so not surprising that they aren't in Recommended Reading, though older doesn't necessarily mean less good.

Thanks for clarifying that. I wasn't thinking about non-Logos resources. Guess that shows how few chances I get to browse a library!
