Hey, Logos members I am trying to find licensed commentaries on the Holy Ghost. I am new to this. I am hoping to get some suggestions that make searching more simpler.

Hi, Angelique! Maybe I can help a little. Don't let the following overwhelm you, lol, but you have a number of options in Logos. First, remember that a commentary looks at Scripture references, not just topics. If you want information just about the Holy Ghost/Spirit (Logos tends to get much better results if you use Spirit instead of Ghost), you may prefer a dictionary or monograph (book). Now, if you're looking for resources to PURCHASE, you can enter Holy Spirit (for example) in the search box on logos.com and then narrow down the Type to just Commentaries by using the filter boxes down the left of the desktop (or on mobile under Filters in the hamburger menu, the three stacked lines in the upper right corner). Here is an example result if you click this link: https://www.logos.com/search?query=holy%20spirit&sortBy=Relevance&limit=60&page=1&ownership=all&geographicAvailability=all&filters=resourcetype-commentaries_Resource%20Type If you want to search resources you OWN, you have a few options. The easiest place to start is probably with opening the Factbook and searching for Holy Spirit. Similarly, you can open the Topic Guide and search for Holy Spirit. You can also open your Library, then click the hamburger menu (3 stacked lines) in the upper left and filter the Type to commentaries (you may have Bible Commentaries as well as Commentaries, depending on how resources get tagged in Logos). Then type Holy Spirit in the search bar to see which of those resources mention Holy Spirit. You can also do a Basic Search for Holy Spirit and narrow your search range, for example, to search All Text in All Passages in Commentary. What is really helpful with that is if you create a Collection of your commentaries, perhaps the ones you prefer instead of just all of them, and then use that collection for the search range. For help on creating Collections, check out this page: https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016299092-Create-and-Use-Resource-Collections I hope that helps you get started! Enjoy playing around with the program to get familiar with it. Blessings!Keep Smiling 4 Jesus :) — Edited
