Searching John Calvin
Recently, I purchased a number of John Calvin works, to add
to my platinum package of logos. I have to do research regarding various theological
loci, such as Theological Method, God, Jesus, Humanity, Holy Spirit, Sin, Church,
and Ministry. My question is what is the best way to search in logos that will
yield concise results regarding what John Calvin has to say about these theological
loci.

Just be sure you don't give him a TSA patdown. [;)]
I don't know which works you have, but I would suggest you make a collection of them and run a basic search in them on the terms. You will almost assuredly not find anything on "theological method" since I think that term arose later, but that doesn't mean he didn't speak on the subject. You will simply need to find another way to locate what he has to say. Book I of the Institutes would be a good place to start.

Richard,
George is correct...in general, I'd use his method for all my searches....i.e. make "targeted collections" depending on what question I'm asking and who I want to hear from"...
Does that make sense?
Example:
Calvin collection
Early Church fathers collection
Systematic Theologies collection
Journal collection
etc.....
