1. Great videos. The best I've seen.
2. I want your library.
3. You should come and pastor here in the U.S. We covet your accent (i.e. Alister Begg).
Mark, Awesome. I wish I had found your vid's months ago. I'm always interested in how others study. Thanks for including us. By the way, I take it that you're not from Texas by your dialect? Cheers!
Mark Barnes:Generally my congregation don't care too much about Greek/Hebrew, and nor should they. Neither do I want to undermine their confidence in the Bible they carry in their hands. So I try to wear my new-found knowledge lightly, letting it inform my thinking, but not feeling the need to parade it before them. As a consequence I don't need to take that many notes, as I'm not going to quote them. More importantly, what I'm learning is shaping my understanding, and my understanding is more important than my knowledge in this situation. In other words, what I learn changes the way I view a passage, which changes the way I preach a passage, which affects my congregations understanding of that passage. Which means I can change their understanding without needing to share all my learning.
I just took the time to watch each video. Outstanding ... absolutely, outstanding. I've used Logos for years but continue to learn how people incorporate into their study. I really appreciated your approach and see how a philosophy of textual importance is just as important as how to use the tool. I loved your comment above. If you lived in Texas, we'd be great friends.

Shawn, thanks for bringing us that quote of Mark's. I'm sure I read it ages ago, but it is great to be reminded of it. Wonderful advice!

Jeremy: 3. You should come and pastor here in the U.S. We covet your accent (i.e. Alister Begg).
although Alistair Begg is Scottish and Mark is Welsh - two completely different accents - and neither of them is what I would call a "British" accent

New to Logos 4 and i immensely enjoyed all of your videos. I love seeing how other preachers, study, make notes, do outlines and use bible programs to suit their needs. I learned alot from your videos and learned some thing to help streamline and make my study time and sermon preparation more efficient.
Thanks, Charles. I don't know if you've seen these additional videos - they don't show sermon prep though - they're more systematic tutorials: http://www.4-14.org.uk/logos/tutorial-videos
Mark, these videos are great. I know I saw some you did a while ago that were based on Libronix 3. I would love to be able to see those if you still have them avalible. Maybe if they are not online you might consider letting me download them???
Anywa, thanks for all you do
Thanks Mark, I look forward to checking them out

Thanks, James. I've not gathered my Logos 3 videos into one place, but they can be found at:
Mark, thank you and God bless.
It took me 25 minutes to do what you did in the 1st 2 minutes of video one! @ this pace I will get through them before I turn 60! The whole system is counterituitive!

It's not necessarily Logos that's counter-intuitive, it may be my own logic! One of the strengths of Logos is that it allows you to use it in many different ways. As you progress, you'll find your own way of working that suits you, and your productivity will soar! The tutorials mentioned above may help you in this: http://www.4-14.org.uk/logos/tutorial-videos
Mark, your videos are just superb! As you can see, you have a full second ministry to the Logos forum folk, and their congregations. Thank you!
If I might ask, what works do you include in your Bible Backgrounds section? I tried to read the abbreviations from the first video and did a search for the letters on Logos website, but came up empty. And by the way, in your second post with links to vimeo, the second link pointing to taking notes actually points to the first video.
T.P. Johnston:If I might ask, what works do you include in your Bible Backgrounds section? I tried to read the abbreviations from the first video and did a search for the letters on Logos, but came up empty.
I have a collection for Bible Backgrounds, and my current search string for that collection is the rather complex:
(title:(manner,custom,background,archaeolog, archeolog) OR subject:(manner,custom,"New Testament—Background","Jews", "Judaism", antiquities, "christianity--origin", historiography, palestine, qumran, rabinnic*, talmud) OR (subject:(excavation,archaeolog,archeolog) AND type:dictionary)) ANDNOT subject:(canon,doctrine,"Jews—Conversion", "Hebrew Language")
I have rather a lot of different types of Bible Background books that I need to include for my own studies, which is why the string is so long.
I really enjoyed your video on the reverse interlinear but I have a question. Can it translate a Greek word into a Hebrew word? ty
Norman Watson:Can it translate a Greek word into a Hebrew word?
Hi Norman,
If you run a Bible Word Study on a Greek word, then one of the sections will be called Septuagint Translation. This tells you all the Hebrew words that are translated by this Greek word, in the Greek version of the OT that were used by many NT writers.
Hi Mark
Greetings. I really liked your training videos for Logs 4. Do you have similar training videos for Logos 6 that you are able to share?
