Can you tell me what these resources will have as their resource types?

  • Creeds ... in my mind, I would treat them as a special type of confessional documents or give them their own category
  • Apocrypha and pseudepigrapha especially New Testament resources that fall outside the ancient manuscripts time frame
  • Monograph length Biblical studies i.e. book length "journal articles" - being able to select these easily a a search group of resource will be a HUGE improvement.

    A number of those aren't themselves creeds, but rather academic studies of one or more creeds.

    I agree but I was going from the current contents of Confessional Documents which includes

    • Thelemann, Otto. An Aid to the Heidelberg Catechism. Translated by M. Peters. Reading, PA: James I. Good, D. D, Publisher, 1896.
    • Van Til, Cornelius. The Confession of 1967, Its Theological Background and Ecumenical Significance. The Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Company: Philadelphia, 1967.
    • Gore, Charles. The Creed of the Christian. Sixth Edition. Goodwill Series. London: Wells Gardner, Darton & Co., 1895.

    I'm not taking a position on what is included in a category - I'm trying to get clarification
