Add a Theology option for grouping commentaries in Passage Guide.
This might include categories like:
* Evangelical
* Fundamentalist
* Dispensational
* Ecumenical
* Non-conformist
* Universalist
* Non-trinitarian (Mormon, Unitarian, Islamic)
* Jewish
etc.

I'd take issue with Mormons being class under "non-trinitarian" but...

I would like to see theological grouping, please, but am concerned about inconsistencies that might consider some religious groups as denominations, and other religious groups as theologies. (If denomination can't be used for all religious groups, then perhaps that option needs a different term.)
Thanks to FL for including Carta and a Hebrew audio bible in Logos 9!

Definitely! Different ways to sift through commentaries in Passage guide would be useful. I already have done this with collections, but it would be nice to hand off this work to the software package... particularly as the number of commentaries I have accumulated over the years is making this a bigger and bigger task.0

@PetahChristian Believe that in many cases, theological system will be cross denominational. For instance, Baptists come in at least 3 of the listed categories—as well as a few not on this list.0

@jackcaviness-46 True, yet this option would show commentaries per theological system, regardless of denomination. If this metadata was faceted, one could filter the library by “theology:x denomination:y” (which wouldn’t be possible if a religious group were a theology).

@PetahChristian I think I agree. I see two different lines of categories: Denominational and Theology. Is that what you mean?0
-
Instead of more categories, we could have a better tag system. Sometimes tags are inconsistent and are not standardized.0
-
Doesn't Logos already have something like this?0

I agree with categorization; but multiple categorizations might be needed, as in Armenian vs Reformed. This is similar comment to that of Jack Caviness.0
-
I like the idea. Many commentaries would have more than one category.0

Lordship Salvation vs Free Grace
