If you are seriously considering adding history functions to Logos 10, please add the following resources to Logos/Verbum so that the history function is useful. Note that users from other traditions may want to add essentials I am unfamiliar with to the list.
- A History of Philosophy series by Frederick Coppleston, S.J. because in the West, philosophy and theology are closely interwined
- Christian Spirituality series by McGinn, Meyendorff, LeClercq history of doctrine without practice is a weak implementation
- Presence of God series by Bernard McGinn the other half of spirituality
- The Story of Christianity series by Justo L. Gonzalez a series popular in the forums
The other series that I consider essential are already in Logos/Verbum:
- History of Dogma by Adolf von Harnack
- The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures in the Worship of the Christian Church by Hughes Oliphant Old
- Library of Christian Worship by Robert Webber
With these seven series as a backbone, Faithlife would have the foundation of a great historical research tool. Leave any one of them out, there will be a significant hole in the skeleton. Note that at great personal effort, I have not insisted in Oriental Orthodox history.
