A question posted in the Resources Forum titled "How to identify all Catholic authored resources so I can hide them" moves me to ask a related question I've been pondering: a "Mormon Studies Collection" is "Almost funded" on pre-orders. This collection includes "the primary documents of the Mormon Church."
I have no problem with this being on Logos, as scholars and others may need, or wish, to see what these documents say.
But it does raise a question (also raised by Logos resources such as The Watchtower (1879-1890) (138 issues) and The Qu'ran (English), both presently on Logos, and, I would imagine, other resources, including, for that matter, lots of Roman Catholic resources): How do smart searches on "all" distinguish between non-Christian resources and Christian resources (including in Christian resources nearly all Jewish resources), so that, once the Mormon Studies Collection is available, an answer doesn't pull from those resources, without making clear that part of the answer is heretical? I get that the resources used will be footnoted, but imagine somebody reading an answer quickly. I appreciate that there must be plenty of heretical early-church documents on Logos - Arianist, Docetist, Gnostic, etc. - that present the same issue. I have to imagine that parsing through all the resources on Logos for what's (lower-case) orthodox versus what's heretical in formulating each answer must be a truly challenging task.
