BUG? or lack of understanding of the purpose of Factbook Lists/Thompson, Jeremy, ed. Lists of Words

Note there is a overlap between these two sets but both have entries not included in the other. I would expect the LBD to be a subset of the list from Factbook Lists/Thompson, Jeremy, ed. Lists of Words and Concepts. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2020.

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."

    Hi MJ:

    From the introduction of the resource:

    "One clarification to this definition is that the lists in the broader series are intended to be systematic within the limits of the datasets from which the lists are drawn."

    The list resources are exposing data from other datasets in a different (hopefully helpful) way. So, in cases like this, the issue will often lie with the underlying datasets rather than with the resource. In this instance, the data would be missing from the Named Texts dataset. I've created a case for Named Texts to be updated to include more writings of the type "apocryphon"; however, we have no one currently working on Named Texts, so I can't say if or when this data might be updated and the resource regenerated.

    Thanks for the explanation. It makes sense.
