Law of the Gospel

I was trying to look up information about the Law of Christ in Logos, and the "Law of the Gospel" comes up in the topic guide so I hit on it. It has no results, but points me to the Factbook so I go there. And that has no results either. Why would Logos list a topic and then not have any information on it? Attached is a screenshot of what I'm talking about.

I believe the topics suggested in the guides and in Factbook are based on the resources available from Faithlife, whether they are in your library or not. For 'Law of Grace' I have one hit in "Catechism of the Catholic Church". The larger your library the more likely to find results.

Thanks Leigh-

I got the same result and I have a decently large library. Does anyone else get more hits than this, or is this something Logos is hoping to fill later with more resources? It doesn't make sense to add the topic and not have any resources for it.

I ran the same searches in Reformed Silver and came up with;

Search Everything for "law of Christ"

FACTBOOK 308 results
LIBRARY RESULTS 398 results in 291 articles in 126 resources

And;

Search Everything for "law of the gospel"

Fact Book 64 results
Library Results 33 results in 31 articles in 23 resources

Lots of additional stuff in Personal Books....

Search Everything for "law of the gospel"

Fact Book 64 results
Library Results 33 results in 31 articles in 23 resources

Library results 269 in 162 resouces for me (seems to come up often in Aquinas' Summa Theologica, the "Lives of the Fathers", the CCC and the Catholic Bible Commentary and sometimes in ANF/NPNF and the ACCS commentaries), however, I think the 64 Factbook hits are a bug. For me it looks like Factbook disregards the quotation marks that make this a phrase search, but connects the individual words with OR. Interestingly, when I leave them off, which gives 16 million hits in half of my library (which then treats the search as law AND of AND the AND gospel), Factbook shows one hit for exactly the Topic. I think I'll check in the beta forum whether this is a known issue.

Search Everything for "law of Christ"

FACTBOOK 308 results

This shows the bug even more: the top results are "Christ's Church, Christians, Christian Gentiles, Christ reigns for a thousand years, Christine de Pizan, and Christmas Evans"

Anthony, don´t know if it makes a difference, your screen shot is of Logos5 and you posted to Logos6 forum.

Below is your screenshot for everyone to see.

Using Law of the Gospel in LOGOS6 gave me the same sorry results you got! [:(]

Using ¨Law of Christ" in LOGOS6, I got 308 Factbook, and 1109 hits in Books in my Lib.

Thanks Dave-

I did the same thing as you and came up with the same results. However, it doesn't work if you use the Factbook suggested topic - it only comes up when I do a search on everything like you suggested. Could this be a bug?

Tom-

I think the difference is that I started using the factbook tool and typed law of Christ/gospel, and you started using the search function. The Factbook tool automatically filled in law of Christ/gospel for me as I typed but results in no hits. When I start with the search function, it results in the same ones you got - is this a bug?

Sorry I cant say yes or no [*-)] I typed in Law of Christ (in the factbook) and only got one hit. [:(]

GOSPEL, LAW OF THE: The New Law, prepared for by the Old Law in the time of the Old Covenant, is the perfection here on earth of the divine law, natural and revealed. It is the work of Christ, expressed particularly in the Sermon on the Mount, and of the Holy Spirit, by whose grace it becomes for us the interior law of charity (1965).
