Recently I saw Logos was selling a commentary that showed contrasting exegetical opinions. Of course, many commentaries do that, but this commentary's purpose was to do just that. Does anyone remember the name of the title? Thanks, Gregorio

That was it, Exegetical Summaries! Thanks so much to the three of you. I guess this is what I have spend the last twenty plus years doing in regards to the book of Isaiah. I noticed this resource is mostly New Testament oriented. And then, perhaps an important part of the work is to do the contrasting ourselves, although a lifetime is just too short. Thanks again.

A caveat on Exegetical Summaries: Links to Logos resources are non-existent. What appears to be links only provide bibliographic information, not the referenced material. This screenshot is from a portion of the material on Hebrews 1:3. None of these links will take you to the referenced material. I do own the resource in the popup.
What could be a valuable resource has been crippled by incomplete tagging.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Lexan Bible Guides. They, too, provide other commentary views:

Actually, Jan did mention those above.
And I will confirm the usefulness of those guides. I've found them to be great at summarizing the views of other works.

I must have read too fast I didn't notice. My bad 👍😁👌
Thanks to all for the comments and suggestions and warnings. Very useful.

The same is not true for the Lexham guides. All references are properly tagged, and even have a lock icon for resources that you don't own (same as in mEd resources).

Yes, truly you said it well: what could be a valuable resource has been crippled by in complete tagging. I have noticed this over the years when I use the summaries and wonder why the tagging is incomplete. Isn't the reason we buy Logos resources and pay more for them is for the linking to other library resources? So, I have not purchased more of the summaries as they have come out and have become skeptical regarding other series.
Ah, but you must remember, the "sophisticated tagging" is what makes Logos resources more expensive and to have added value 😜

I know it's been brought up before, but I don't understand why Logos wouldn't opt in for allowing crowd-sourcing to update these missing tags. With a reasonable credit incentive it has the possibility to move these along and create more value added to these books. Would it really be more expensive than hiring full-time employees to do this? Logos' selling point for resources is their extensive tagging and cross referencing between resources. We have Community Notes and Community Tagging, why not expand to Community Linking, even making it a filter-able option to turn on or off until it can be vetted.
Sorry to hijack the thread, but I would put in a plug for the Lexham Bible Guides, it's the first thing I thought of when I read the OP. Even if you don't own the tagged resource, there is a brief summary of the content, and would be helpful to see if the resource mentioned would be a good purchase.
The presence of active links is a big plus; however, the information contained in the Ephesians volume is exceedingly sketchy.
