Okay, Logos - you have just proven that the users' request to have definitions for the library types is essential as Logos employees apparently need it as much as Logos users. Bergsma, John.

2025-05-27T15:36:03Z are not lectionaries and cannot function as lectionaries in Logos. Their library type is wrong, incorrect, erroneous, faulty … They are essentially commentaries on the readings assigned to a particular liturgical date by a lectionary. But Logos has not created a category for commentaries on the lectionaries which have a dual index - liturgical date and scriptural (or patristics), so you have nicely divided this group among:
- Devotional: Mueggenborg, Daniel H. Come Follow Me: Discipleship Reflections on the Sunday Gospel Readings for Liturgical Year A. Leominster, United Kingdom: Gracewing, 2016.
- Monograph: Rollefson, John. Postils for Preaching: Commentaries on the Revised Common Lectionary, Year a. Eugene, Oregon: Resource Publications, 2016.
- Bible Commentary: Green, Joel B., Thomas G. Long, Luke A. Powery, Cynthia L. Rigby, and Carolyn J. Sharp, eds. Connections: A Lectionary Commentary for Preaching and Worship: Year A: Season after Pentecost. First edition. Vol. 3. Louisville, KY: Westminster John Knox Press, 2020.
- Calendar Devotional: Oden, Thomas C., and Cindy Crosby, eds. Ancient Christian Devotional: A Year of Weekly Readings: Lectionary Cycle A. Downers Grove, IL: IVP Books, 2007.
Note that sermon outline and sermons also have a subdivision of lectionary based.
Please (1) correct the two Bergsma titles which are not lectionaries but Bible commentaries based on the lectionary (2) consider whether the devotional and calendar devotionals are used as devotionals or used as commentaries. If the former, combine them - they simply refer to the calendar using different terms. (3) Move the majority if not all the monographs into the Bible Commentary type as the applicable distinction is Bible commentary vs. sermon not commentary/monograph.
If you lack expertise in lectionaries/ordos, have someone give me a call and I will arrange their education on the topic. After all > 70% of Christians world wide use a lectionary - a major portion of your market.
