Prioritized resource still not showing up

Malcolm Lanham

Yesterday, I purchased several resources from NT Wright & The Theology of the New Testament [TTNT] from George Ladd.  

I confirmed that it is in my library.  I prioritized the items and put TTNT as my number 2 resource.  When I do searches, for things that I know that are in there to test it... I am not getting it to show up in any of my resources.  For instance, I know TTNT has tons of stuff on the Kingdom of God.  It was not listed any of the results. 

When I do a passage search shouldn't this show up in the Commentaries section?  I don't see it in the topic sections either when I do a passage search.  

Thanks in advance.

Hi Malcolm

Resources only appear in the Commentaries section if they are indexed by Bible verse which Ladd's book is not.

They only appear in the Topics section if they are included in the Logos Comtrolled Vocabulary (LCV) which I assume Ladd's is not.

If you include it in a collection used within your Passage Guide it should show up if you use a reference which it contains.

Why not use a Basic Search (as opposed to a PG) for the terms you are looking for?

Malcolm - It would be very beneficial for you to learn more about how prioritization works. One inexpensive way is to use the free videos at http://www.logos4training.com/. There is one on prioritization (video 16). Purchasing the training manuals or videos from Camp Logos will be of great benefit as well. 

Prioritization is a great feature, but it does take a while to master. It is good to have advice & strategies from others to maximize the effectiveness of this feature. On a most basic level, you should have five bibles first. Once you learn some more advanced techniques, you can adjust this a bit.

Wiki Getting Started with Logos has => Prioritize Library

After looking at TNTT indexes, personally would not prioritize in my Logos library:

Concur TTNT has many occurrences of Kingdom NEAR God (in 162 articles) that can be found by searching a collection (or entire Library):

No, Ladd NTT does not have bible verse indexing so cannot be used as a commentary.  Option: use a Collection in Passage Guide
