In adding tags that make the library useful to me, I discover that the provided categories combine two items that I've never thought of as the same: commentaries and Bible studies. By Bible studies I mean those books that are written for the average non-seminarian that include study hints and questions for discussion. By commentaries, I mean those books that contain information, analysis, etc. but not discussion questions. I'd like to see the two types of books separated - not only in the library but also in the passage guide. I'm quite willing to let them share a pane.

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."

    LOL.!

     

    Martha, this is a real issue which needs to be addressed. The Oxford Bible Commentary is listed as a monograph. Some Study Bibles are listed as Commentaries, and so on and so forth.

    We have been promised the coming of a new day when the dawn shall shine brightly with perfect resource metadata. But, not even Bob knows the day nor the hour.

     

    Seriously, it will be after the rollout of v.4. Apparently, there now exists the technology to "push"new metadata to us. But, not even we Beta testers have seen this in practice.
