JEDP in Logos
Is there an easy way to color the texts in Logos so that one could know which passages by color fit the JEDP docunmentary hypothesis?

One of the older OT's shipped last year (not at my pc) was coded for JEPD. The issue you'd have is 'which JEPD hypothesis' (it's a theory; the assignments vary), and recognition the coding is at word/phrase level, not verse.

Exactly. This is what I have found myself. Variegated theories with consensus being hard to establish and follow.

This is something I've been studying recently, and I'd love to see something like this. Perhaps it could be done with a visual filter? Unfortunately I don't know anything about those.
In my present studying, I use The Hebrew Bible: Andersen-Forbes Analyzed Text, Francis I. Andersen; A. Dean Forbes. It's tagged according to Eissfeldt's version of the Hypothesis. I hover over the text, and it tells me the source. Coloring to differentiate the sources would be much more convenient and useful.

Can a passage list be made of all of J then E then P and can each list be color coded using a highlighter function?

Also, can this info be gotten from a right-click in any translation or must I be in Forbes to ascertain this?

It's pretty easy, when you create a visual filter.
- AFAT (the search resource)
- Bible search
- Search field: Surface
- I narrow to the Torah
- Search term: <EissfeldtHexateuch = ??> Where ?? is Y, E, P, D, or B
I put in 5 args using a colored background for each.
I use a similar one for NT MSS's (age, and Alan category)

The resource has to have the search field for JEPD. Not just any OT. I think AFAT is the only one in hebrew.

Thanks, Denise.

I can get this far (though I think the source is J, not Y; also what is B? Eissfeldt also has the source "Lay" and perhaps 1 or 2 other minor ones.

I'm stuck after this step. I know nothing about setting up visual filters. Could you help, or point me to a good explanation?

With Logos 8, we released a dataset on Source Criticism. It currently only documents Eissfeldt's theories but could be expanded with other theories in the future.
If you have the dataset, you should have access to the documentation: https://ref.ly/logosres/cidbdocsourcrit?art=art2
Hope it helps.

I know someone waiting impatiently for Mowinkel on Jeremiah (as in Andersen-Forbes) ...

Then when the AFAT is open, be sure the visual filter is on (3 dots to open options).

Ah bless you MJ; you're such a help!
I'd never seen the Visual Filters document type before, so I've definitely learned something new today! This will take a while to process, but it should be very helpful.

I made a simple Visual Filter for AFAT that just colors the basic sources Eissfeldt identifies:

This is mostly what I want. I do have a question (although I'm pretty sure the answer is "no"): Is there any way to map this filter onto another Bible, say an English one (any version) or a different Hebrew text (say, one with an interlinear)?

When I started with Logos the answer was yes, but now I believe all the mapping is tied to the Lexham version so the answer is no ... unless someone has found a cool trick other than switching to the dataset.
