Studying Books as a Whole

I like the Passage Guide as it allows me to zero in on specific passages, but there is a limitation I would like to know if I can overcome. I want to study the book of Jeremiah as a whole. I know I can just pull out an introduction, but there are a number of resources including commentaries, dictionaries, journals, theology books, and the like, and simply typing in "Jeremiah" or something to that effect is fruitless; it doesn't pull any of them up. Can someone tell me how I can utilize Logos to pull up an overview such as background info, outlines, etc. that span the entire book, not just a portion? Thank you.

    This sounds like it may be a good job for the Factbook. Open up your Factbook Tool and type Jeremiah, it should automatically give you something along the lines of "Jeremiah, Book of" and that should bring up numerous resources and the like that should include background, outlines, dictionary articles, and timeline stuff.

    One idea is searching collection of Jeremiah commentaries for articles.

    Refining article search finds several commentaries have outlines that span the entire book:

    (outline NEAR (Jeremiah, book)) OR prelude

    Logos wiki has commentary collections => https://wiki.logos.com/Canonical_Commentary_Collections

    Thank you. Both of the ideas worked out. I got what I was looking for and learned a couple of things in the process.

    The other option is to go to the Factbook, type "Jeremiah" and select the "Book of Jeremiah" option when it comes up. This will also bring up for you all the authorship, outline, dating and high-level information available in your library for the book of Jeremiah. Can't attach a screenshot as my wife wants to go out for a walk right now!
