@Andrew Batishko Thank you
got it
Are monographs included in a commentary search?
@Claude Brown Jr no, they are tagged differently.
Thanks, I get to make new collections. I already have a collection for every commentary on each book of the bible. Now I can create additional ones with just monographs. cool.
@Claude Brown Jr You probably didn't need to create individual collections for each Bible book. Logos automatically pulls any commentary that addresses your chosen passages. A lot of commentaries cover more than one book. Most people create commentary collections based on their characteristics, like whether they deal with the original languages, or they're devotional, practical, historical or whatever.
You will be disappointed if you want collections of monographs for Commentary purposes. You can identify candidates using type:monograph subj:(bible.O.T., bible.N.T.), of which I have only one that could be called a bible commentary i.e. "Pass It On: First and Second Timothy" by Mounce, and the majority do not have bible milestones.
Thanks, I am aware of the limitations that could lead to disappointment. I did the first one on Romans and got a very useful book by Keller that was not in the commentary list. Logos can still surprise me.
@Claude Brown Jr The only books by Keller that I see are commentaries, so they should be in your commentary list.
did you tag them or put them in a commentary collection?
interesting, since all 5 books by Keller on Romans (as far as available in Logos) seem to be type:bible-commentary. Of course he might have said something useful that pertains somehow to Romans (or NT exegesis, or Paul, or NT letters…) in any of his books.
I have Keller, T. (2017). Romans. In 90 Days in John 14–17, Romans, James (pp. 97–221). The Good Book Company. This book does not show up in the commentary search, although I just checked, it is tagged that way as a bible commentary.
This is my collection setup: Title:Romans,Subject:Romans AND TYPE:Monograph.
@Claude Brown Jr
what do you want this collection for?
how do you want to use it?
Part of the search for questions and illustrations to use in Sunday School presentations. I do one Bible book per week.
and how are you accessing this collection?
Through collections in guides
If I may offer a suggestion
I would go to the library, open the left panel and click on type:Bible commentary.
Then with that open, I would click on series
Then check each series to see if it is the type that gives illustrations, like Preach the Word, Teach the Text, Focus on the Bible
open the series and then a random book
then tag the whole series. Maybe illustration commentaries
Then go to your guide (I'm guessing the passage guide, click on ADD at the top, and then commentaries.
I will open at the bottom of your guide. click on settings on the right, find Illustration commentaries and click
then drag this collection to the top of the guide
When you find other commentaries that fit that category, tag them as illustration commentaries
If you find monographs with Illustrations, then tag them illustrations.
Go to add in the passage guide, and click on collections. Find illustrations or mytag:illustrations.
Then drag that to the top of your guide right under your commentary collection.
thanks great idea
The main thing is to ensure that your monograph has bible milestones i.e. it has a Reference box in the toolbar
If you tag all of them and put the resulting collection into the Collections section of Passage Guide then you will get some useful articles. PG will still list books that just happen to reference the passage, but you won't be swamped with irrelevant results.
Hi Dave, that's right that was the goal. It worked beautifully. A variation of ideas I received from Dr. John Fallahee.

I'm trying to quiz myself about all the forms that share a certain ending, such as σιν. But, I want to be able to restrict the forms to a noun, or particular verb tense, mood, and voice. So, as an example, is there a way to search for this: Nouns ending in σιν or Aorist passive subjunctive forms ending in σιν Thanks very…
I am new to this type of forum so I ask in advance, patience. I am starting on a study on the Old Testament through a Track system and need assistance on locating the best way to locate research to assist me.
Is there any work being done to develop more editing options (indents, fonts colors, etc) for "Bible Study Builder"?
I know that hermeneutics is interpretation of God's Word, but what am I missing? Am I missing anything? The best interpretation of the Bible comes from the Holy Spirit revealing the hidden meanings. I am halfway through my Pastoral Counseling and Addiction Recovery master's class. It is a shortened version rather than…
Can someone from Faithlife/Logos provide an approximate date for the arrival of the 2026 Denominational Libraries?
