Classic Sermon Index - Massive Canonical Index
Found this massive web based canonical sermon index, and wondered if anyone here on the forums had had any experience with it. (About $10 per month).

I've not seen this before but it does look like a good resource. I'd still rather have it in Logos. It would be interesting to know how much of this Logos already offers.

I think that it's good that these are available, BUT, since I an a Logos user, it has to be in Logos (for me, anyway).

As would I. Unfortunately the sermon tagging is lagging behind this strange little company...
I'd be very interested in a subscription to Logos for something like this, but this other supplier has 2 big benefits that Logos does not, unfortunately. 1) The sheer volume of sermons tagged, and 2) I can still see search results for sermons that I don't own, even with links to where I can find them online. Unfortunately the Logos Sermons tool still has pretty meager tagging as far as I can tell, especially for the older authors (with some obvious exceptions).

Cool. It's available through a number of seminary libraries (if you're an alum or otherwise have access that way), e.g., Andover-Harvard Theological Library, Baylor, Virginia Theological Seminary.
Faithlife should try to get this, maybe purchase the company if it's open to becoming part of the Logos ecosystem.

So who is Paul Harrison of Nashville? He seems to have put together a nice website but without much information on himself or the company.

He's now the senior pastor of Madison Free Will Baptist Church, in Madison, AL (hasn't updated his LinkedIn profile to reflect that).

I also found this article about the launching of the CSI:
Classic Sermon Index Launched
On November 12, 2013, Free Will Baptist pastor Paul Harrison launched ClassicSermonIndex.com, a website housing a vast collection of historical sermons. The 42,000 sermons date as far back as the second century and are indexed by primary biblical text for simple searching. Each sermon is cataloged according to its principal text, author, book title, and page number within the book in which it is found. The enormous collection continues to expand daily.
Sermons range from historically significant public executions to funerals and coronations. Among 20,000 sermons indexed by topic are sermons on dueling, slavery, the Boston Tea Party, and other period specific issues. No other work makes accessible such a broad range of quality sermons. The site features works by Augustine, John Calvin, Richard Baxter, John Donne, Jonathan Edwards, Samuel Johnson, Martin Luther, John Henry Newman, John and Charles Wesley, Catherine Booth, Alexander Campbell, B.B. Warfield, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Karl Barth, Martin Luther King, Jr., etc. Sermons by the presidents of Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Dublin, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown, etc. are included.
The site contains a massive yet manageable amount of sermons that changed the world. Because the vast majority of the material is hyperlinked, the Classic Sermon Index is like having thousands of books neatly organized at one’s fingertips. An individual subscription for the Classic Sermon Index is $6.95, and organizational subscriptions are available on request. A 30-day free trial gives users an opportunity to explore the site.
About the Creator: Paul Harrison served as pastor of Cross Timbers Free Will Baptist Church in Nashville, Tennessee, from 1991 to 2013. He also served as adjunct professor at Welch College for 17 years, teaching church history and Greek. His work on the epistles of James and Jude appears in the Randall House Bible Commentary Series, and he has written many other articles for publication. He is a graduate of Welch College (B.A.), Middle Tennessee State University (M.A.), and Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary (M.Div., Th.D.). Paul and his wife Diane have two sons and a granddaughter.

I've never heard of the Randall House Bible Commentary Series. It's not even listed on bestcommentaries.com.

Nice! Yeah I would love to have it in Logos if they were to purchase the company. ...As long as they still were wanting to give access to all the same information and same websites linked if the resources weren't owned! Or even better yet, with access to all Logos resources referenced, that are not owned with a similar subscription!

Hm, strange. When I started to build my theological library, some years ago prior to my Logos days, I regularly came accross Robert Picirilli (the series editor of Randall House Bible Commentaries and author of some of its volumes, author of Grace, Faith, Free Will and the CLEAR Study Series volume on Romans etc.) and Leroy Forlines (author of the Romans volume in RHBC and of a free will Baptist Systematic Theology), as a kind of Classical Arminian antidote to the reformed viewpoints that flood the commentaries.
I bought the individual books linked above in paper back then and am now slowly buying the Randall House Bible Commentaries when on sale.
Have joy in the Lord!

You beat me to it Mick. I’m surprised Rosie had never come across the Randall House commentaries. They have been in Logos for a number of years.
In fact they were promoted on blog in July 2011 as last chance prepub:
