The following file can be compiled as a Personal Book. It contains three indexes to Spurgeon's Sermons. The first index is listed in order of Scripture references, the second index is in alphabetical order, and the third index is in the order they appear in the volumes. The data has been sourced from the Alphabetical Index from Ages Software, with nearly 100 corrections noted below. It is recommended that you compile the index as a Bible Commentary so that the Scripture index will show in your Passage Guide.

2063.Index to Spurgeon's Sermons.docx

The screenshot shows the three indexes side by side. In the actual resource the indexes are one after the other. If you prefer you can separate the three indexes into three separate files. The cover image supplied for use with the official index can also be used for this personal book:

The corrections were as follows:

  • Removed 9 invalid entries
  • Corrected 18 links to sermons in volume 5
  • Corrected 50 links to sermons in volume 6
  • Corrected 7 links to sermons in volume 7
  • Corrected 1 link to sermons in each of volumes 33 and 40
  • Added sermons 2709, 3471, 3562 and 3563.

    Thanks Mark! Is this a replacement for the Scripture Index file you posted earlier today?

    Yes. Everything that was in the Scripture Index file is also in this. (I hadn't intended to add additional indexes when I posted earlier, but people asked, and as I already had all the data…)

    There is an incorrect Bible reference for "Two Effects of the Gospel" (No. 26) it should be 2 Corinthians 2:15,16;... Not Luke 5:4; John 21:6. These two references belong to the previous sermon "Two Draughts of Fishes" (No.443)in the Alphabetical Index. Also 2 Corinthians 2:15,16 doesn't appear in the Scripture Index or in the Vol. 1 Index.

    Hi Mark. How do I import the index?

    You build it as a Personal Book. There are instructions here: http://wiki.logos.com/Personal_Books#Building_Personal_Books

    Hi Mark, I did purchase the current collection and compiled the PBB as you show. (everyting compiled with no errors)

    Question, should the hyperlinks in the PBB book take me to the correct sermon, because in my case, it doesn't.

    The software says that I do not own the resource, shows a sample (of a different sermon), and when I follow the link to LOGOS, the page is not found.

    Thanks for your help!

    Carey,

    the PBB links the sermons from a prior edition, so your experience is the same as mine and those of all who now got the new edition.

    Someone would need to replace the links in the document - surely a Word programming task - and share an updated version.

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile

    Thanks for the good information Mick. I suspected such.

    I wonder why Logos hasn't indexed? Isn't that part of the incentive to pay for resources that are otherwise public domain? Hm.. =)

    Quick question: when I run a Passage guide on one verse, is there a way for the corresponding Spurgeon sermon (if there is one) to show in my list of Commentaries? ..or something similar?

    Create a collection of Spurgeon's sermons then add Collections to your Passage Guide, and hover over the collections bar created in the Passage Guide to see Settings. Click on that and select your Spurgeon's Sermons collection. To always have this in your Passage Guide, you'll need to add it through the Edit Guide Template option on the main PG menu and name your new guide, then use that one from then on.

    I've taken a closer look at the new edition of the sermons. It ought to be possible for me to rewrite my scripts to support the new format, but it's not straightforward. Apart from the new resource ids, the new edition also has a different internal numbering system. I'll give it a go, and see what I can do. If it doesn't work, I do have a plan B, but that would take longer.

    The updated version is now available. It was a bit of a pain because the internal references in the new edition are different to the old edition. Most of the time it was relatively easy to convert them, but I had to make several manual adjustments because the two editions handle non-numbered sermons in different ways. And, for some reason three volumes (9, 11 and 38) use an different referencing system to the other 60! 

    If you're commenting about the new edition (even if you're just saying 'thanks'), can you do it in the new thread? That way, this thread can be left to die, and new users won't get confused as to which version they should be using. Thanks.

    Hi Brian,

    The most recent thread has more detailed instructions (and links you can follow to compile it as a personal book).

    Did you also know that more recent versions of Logos allow you to find sermons in the passage guide (watch the video on that page)?
