Entered the topic "pride"

In the definition section there were a number of resources I would not have expected two of which really seemed misplaced no matter how I looked at it:

  1. Encyclopedia of 7700 Illustrations
  2. Nelson's Big Book of Laughter

It appears that the definition section is not just definitions but also topical Bible references lists (see arrows). Shouldn't the topical Bible reference lists appear in the related verses section - or be made a separate section?

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."

    You need to specify a collection of appropriate resources with Headwords like type:encyclopedia as you will otherwise get monographs like these

    These come from type:concordance and you'll find they are also LCV resources if you look at the Topic section results in Basic Search

    Which is what I have done only to discover a problem with Merriam Webster. However, I do think Logos should run in a manner that seems "reasonable" straight out of the box - which in this particular case, I think it does not.

    I think it reasonable that Logos allow us to use all our resources whilst also allowing us to use a custom template as with all the other Guides.

    That part is fine ... if they don't call it definitions. Elsewhere it is labeled Collections - all resources or the like.

    I think so too, particularly when there's another Illustrations section. I've inquired as to what's including these resources here: looks like a bug to me.
