I gotta admit that I've never seen this section tell me anything more than the obvious.
I don't get it either.

I have asked for definitions or references to figure this one out but haven't gotten an answer. I expected more detail than this section provides - it's a section I expected to be very useful, and may be when I get the necessary background. But at the moment ...
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Dominick,
There is the briefest explanation on this page: http://www.logos.com/logos3/new/genrecoding
As I'm not terribly interested in Form Criticism, I have not found these helpful.
Moreover, I don't know how well these are done. For example, I just looked up Matthew's Beatitudes and they are described as "Sermon: Discourse, Apocalyptic Saying." Why not "Macarism"? The list of qualifications for elders in Titus 1:5-9 is marked as "Personal Instruction, Leadership Qualifications" but in Form Criticism, this would be a virtue/vice list.....
Finally, they ought link to resources. I would find these valuable if they agreed with me [:)] and included links to the appropriate articles in the various Bible Dictionaries....

I like form criticism as a way to encourage a close reading. And I have tried to determine the criteria and granularity of the type. But I'm not sure I've even correctly identified Tooman. His categories, however, are:

Where did you get that from Martha?
Is a similar one available for Mackie?

I made it as part of my own documentation of Logos - Mackie is only done through the Gospels but I'll likely work on it this evening if I don't get sidetracked on lectionaries or the Kephalaia.
Note: I removed the proper names in front of the sagas to make a single literary type

That's awesome, Martha! Would you mind sharing it as a text file (zipped and uploaded as an attachment here)? So I don't have to type it all in again myself?
Also what other nifty things do you have in your own documentation of Logos?[:)]

That only leaves me with one question....

The genre coding lists are attached. I'm using the new edition of Inspiration to create my own documentation - very little is in finished form but I'll share what I have when it's in reasonable shape8306.zip genre coding.zip.

About a decade ago I gleaned the following from some of the volumes of the Forms of the Old Testament Literature. I also added material from other sources. This does not at all match the new literary typing, but may give you some clues. 3644.Literary Def Formulas Etc.pdf Hope this helps.

I recently finished reading a great book that deals with the issue of Genre as it relates to interpretation of the bible called "How to Read the Bible for All It's Worth." I bought the paperback edition from Amazon and then ordered the Logos version on pre-pub. It is scheduled to be released by logos sometime this week. It's a great book and will serve as a very helpful addition to my reference collection.
