Type: Bible Concordance

The Moral Concordances of St. Anthony of Padua is presently listed as a Bible Concordance. I do not know what the Bible Concordance type is or does in Verbum/Logos, so I don't know whether this classification is correct, or how to make use of it. I just know that it does not show up in the Passage Guide's commentaries section (I'm not saying whether it should). I finally figured out how to use the simple yet unintuitive Help function in Verbum 6, but it was useless for this.

Therefore:

1. What is the Bible Concordance type in the Verbum/Logos context? How can I make use of such resources?

2. Has this book been give the wrong type?

Bible Concordances are essentially topical Bible indices. Why the term "concordance" was chosen, I haven't a clue. I have a collection of the ones that don't appear in the Topics section which I have added as a collection to the Passage Guide and the Topics Guide. Ideally they would all be tagged for the Topics section of the Guides and I wouldn't have to think about them.

Bible Concordances are essentially topical Bible indices.

How do you use them?

My Guide: Verbum default

My collection duplicating the resources in the above so that I can screen them out of the following collection which is shown just for illustration purposes. I use it solely for keeping my tagging up to date.

My collection of the resources Logos has yet to tag with topics as deduced by what I get to appear in the default section:

My collection for theological rather than biblical references to the topic:

I use the 3 sections to collect definitions and Biblical references for studying a topic ... think dictionary + topical cross-reference

For Biblical references I also consider Related Verses and Catholic Topical Index references.

Clue: book title.

Thank you for your illustrative explanation. [:)] I think I might have to start tagging resources.

Bible Concordances are essentially topical Bible indices.

How do you use them?

The resources Faithlife mainly tag for topics are bible dictionaries or encyclopedias (type:encyclopedia), so these will appear in the Topics section of Topic Guide. The reason is that they provide articles on the topic whereas concordances (type:concordance) provide a brief description with bible references for the topic. However, some concordances do appear in the Topics section e.g. Dictionary of Bible Themes.

If you wish to make greater use of concordances in Topic Guide then put them into a collection (with rule type:concordance) and add it to the Collections section. You can also include encyclopedias that don't appear in the Topics section if you tag them as indicated by Martha and use that in the collection rule e.g. (type:encyclopedia AND mytag:No_LCV_topics) OR type:concordance.
