I added Author:"Mohler, R. Albert, Jr."

To "Reformed Baptist" which currently has no rules designed to pick up anyone. This should be obvious, he's president of one of the six SBC seminaries, and also pastor of an SBC church. President of the reformed sbc seminary no less .


Edit:

Under Southern Baptist (which is the denomination, convention is simply where we set our direction)
We should have thabiti anyabwile - who is pastor of FBC Grand Cayman, a member of the Southern Baptist denomination. He is also a Reformed (southern) Baptist. I know this because he preaches at my seminary all the time, because his church is a member of an association that is part of the Southern Baptist Denomination. Clicking the link above takes you to their missions page where they briefly mention their association, and provide a broken link to the assoc page. Googling the assoc turned up the detail that its a part of the IMB, which is of course our missions organization.

Edit:
The author Kevin DeYoung should be listed as Reformed Church in America, which is a denomination we don't have listed yet. In my library all he's written are a few journal articles... But he has more than a few books out there.

Edit: Tullian Tchividjian seems to not be associated with Presbyterianism in the tags. He's pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian in Coral Gables Fl, and is also reformed.
...

These should all be there now.  I haven't created a collection for Reformed Church in America, as there are only two authors so far in this denomination.  The spreadsheet has the rule in it and includes all the denominations so far associated with authors.

I added Theology: Reformed to Mohler, which should mean he automatically appears in Reformed Baptist, as he was already Baptist.  There should be no need to add individuals to the rules for Reformed baptist, but it does need the collections Full Library, Theology: Not Reformed and Theology: Not Baptist to work.

Arnold, I think, Belongs with Arnold Fruchtenbaum (Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum).

Sorry, Robert, but I wasn't sure what you mean here.

How did you get your library to give you the above pie chart?  I have pulled in all the collections that have come out of this blog, and want to see the breakdown in my library.

Sadly, there's no automatic way to generate a pie chart.  As far as I'm aware, MJ just used the figures Logos gave her and entered them in an Excel spreadsheet, which creates pie charts using a wizard.

I'm not sure what you were suggesting here.  Surely this isn't a category in itself.  I've just changed it to Baptist, subcategory Baptist.  Sadly this was after I posted the above spreadsheet, but it will be present in the next update.

Instead of Roman Catholic it should be something like Catholic (Latin Rite), Catholic (Melkite), etc. That way all Catholics can be sorted together on the spreadsheet.  And then the same with the orders: Franciscan (OFM), Franciscan (OFM Cap), etc. With or without deciphering.

Many thanks, fgh.  I think I've incorporated much of what you suggested, though I went for Catholic (Roman), as I think this is more recognisable.

I haven't categorised Bede, as it looked like a guess.

Benedict of Nursia I left uncategorised.  Would it be anachronistic to label him OSB, as suggested by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedict_of_Nursia?  I'll add Benedictine if not.

I couldn't find Chacour at Logos.com.  Is this an author published by Logos?

One last note for today, MJ.  If you were able to convert the links you paste into clickable links, then that would be really helpful.  Typing a space after each one is usually enough for them to be automatically changed.

Thanks again.  I've really appreciated all your work on this, as I'm sure others have.  [:)]

(one is ordained into the rite of the ordaining bishop)

Thanks, MJ.  I wasn't sure about the effect of being consecrated by Pope John Paul II, but if it's his ordination that counts then I'm happy to accept that.  I've changed the spreadsheet, though I'll make more changes before republishing it.

Check Vyrso.

Quick comments:

• Forigno should be Foligno.
• Change Discalced Carmelite (OCD) to Carmelite, Discalced (OCD), so that the two branches sort together.
• I suspect OFS and TOSF are simply the Latin and English abbreviations for the same branch of secular Franciscans. MJ?
• It seems Jean Marie Vianney and Jeanne d'Arc were both TOSF: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Order_of_Saint_Francis#Notable_members (which also mentions a number of popes).
• As MJ states above, Francis de Sales was an Oratorian, not a Capucin.
• I've never heard the word Visitationist. I'm used to Visitandine. But then I'm not a native speaker. MJ?
• I'd still prefer Brennan Manning as an ordinary lay Catholic, since he left both the order and the priesthood. And I'd still prefer von Balthasar as Jesuit, as that's where his spirituality comes from. 

Lutheran / Church of Sweden:

• Bo Giertz 1905-1998
• Cristina Grenholm 1959->
• Lars Hartman 1930->
• Bengt Hägglund (not Hagglund!)  1920->
• Antje Jackelén 1955->
• Krister Stendahl 1921-2008
• Gustaf Wingren 1910-2000

Swedish Mission Covenant Church:

• Paul Petter Waldenström 1838-1917

(I guess you'll have to list him under Reformed, since internationally that's where they're organized, though in many ways they're more Lutheran than Reformed.)

Swedes of unknown confession:

• Karin Hedner Zetterholm
• Magnus Zetterholm
• Samuel Byrskog 1957->

I've added Chacour, corrected Foligno, changed to Carmelite (Discalced), and changed Brennan Manning.

It looks like OFS is a subset of TOSF, as they can be Regular, rather than Secular. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Order_of_St._Francis#Third_Order_Regular)

Apologies over Francis de Sales.  I didn't read carefully enough.  He was only an associate member of the OFM Cap and although the foundation he started died out soon after, the Oratory is still strong today.  I've changed his category to the Oratory.

Visitandine looks better, though it looks like they're known as both.  I've changed it.

The normal rule (suggested long ago by MJ) is that we categorise with what was applicable at the time of writing.  Therefore von Balthasar would be a diocesan priest.  However, there may be a better reason, as you argue, to leave him as a Jesuit.  MJ?

Thanks for all the Swedes.  I've added all except the unknown confessions.  I'd rather wait until someone provides evidence for their confessions.

Von Balthasar is now Jesuit.

It's a good question about updating the collections.  I usually try to publish the spreadsheet and collections at the same time, but it takes quite a while to go through all the collections, so there may sometimes be a lag.  I'd be only too happy if someone offered to republish all of the collections each time the spreadsheet is updated.  I don't have much time at the moment, so updating the collections means less work on the spreadsheet, and there's still a lot I'd like to do to it.

Any offers to update would be greatly appreciated. [:D]

The plan is to publish all of the Denomination Streams and Theologies, but only the Denominations with the most authors, simply because it takes so much time.  I'd be only too happy for them all to be done.  Other Denominations can be updated from the spreadsheet by anyone interested.

Of course, the original plan was to simply show it was achievable and suggest Logos did it all for us.  Much of it could then happen automatically.  Occasionally Logos change the way an author's name is listed, but I can only change the spreadsheet and collections if someone lets me know.  If the project was taken over by Logos, it could be automatic.

I've learned a lot from the project, but the bigger the project, the more time it takes.  It either needs more crowdsourcing, to be taken over by Logos, or to slow down a bit.

Kenneth Keathley ought to be listed in the Southern Baptist denomination (note, click "K" to sort by last names that start with K and scroll down).

He has a book in Logos & Vyrso I believe. Also He is a Molinist (the topic of his book).

Thanks, abondservant.  I thought Kenneth Keathley already was marked as Southern Baptist.  Please let me know if not.

There currently is no category for Molinism,  If anyone provides me a sufficiently large list, preferably with evidence, then I could create one.
