Obviously, this is useful for LDS studies - an area where Logos constantly causes me problems with the dearth of resources.

Well, that's an interesting choice for Logos that will surely drive some people to rage. But it would be useful in the "Mormon Studies" collection.

I see no reason it should cause rage … we have scriptures available for a wide variety of religions.

Agreed. But if you look on the Mormon Studies collection, a few people were pretty upset that Logos would offer a product that teaches people about doctrines and history of Latter-day Saints. My thought is, if you don't want a product, don't buy it. But I see no reason why we should be afraid of the beliefs of the people around the world. It makes it a lot easier to have peaceful conversations with them when you understand their viewpoint, and Christ taught that his followers are to be peacemakers.

I think just the opposite … my 'protests' were that it was just a freebie collection of out of date texts. Useless in conversation with Ben and Co. Or the Logos standard of best, if possible.
I've no problem with the Smith Bible but (Ben can correct me), it's largely a KJV editing project. I would much prefer Emma Smith's first hymnal (historical value).

Yes, it's mostly a KJV edit/expansion. Lots of good work on it recently from mainstream LDS scholars.

Emma Smith's hymnal would be an interesting curio as well. I'd love to see it added to the "Mormons Studies" collection.
