I recently purchased and installed the new Lutheran Study Bible. Logos 4 did an index after that. For some strange reason, I'm not seeing the bible text anywhere. I see the notes and commentary, but no bible text.
This is just too wierd.

Do you know that in Logos study Bibles do not have Bible text in them (only the notes)?
The way I use study Bibles in Logos is to link them to a Bible (any one will do, though some are tied to specific translations). Then, as I change passages, the study Bible follows along.

Hello Richard;
In researching further, I do see that the LSB is basically the notes and commentary. I did see where the ESV bible was included on the LSB CDROM. Since I knew I already had the ESV installed (I have the Scholars edition) I didn't copy the ESV over from the CDROM. I was thinking the bible/notes would all be on one screen/pane. Guess it makes sense to do it the split screen way and to have the notes/commentary follow.
Do you know if the ESV bible on the LSB CDROM is the same ESV bible obtained via other base packages? I'm just wondering if it is tagged in some special way?
Also, are you Lutheran?

I also wish the study Bible's were integrated with the Bible text, but I also know that this would be very tricky, especially when there is more than one study Bible for a particular translation.
I don't have the CD you're talking about, but if it's all Logos, it's all the same ESV (unless there's some special Lutheran version - which I doubt).
No, I'm not Lutheran. I'm Reformed (Christian Reformed Church). I do have a nephew-in-law who is a Lutheran pastor (ELC, if I've got my initials right). And as one who has inherited the blessings of the Reformation, I do stand, in deep gratitude, in the stream God poured out through Luther.
Chris,
I am an LCMS pastor, and I have the LSB study Bible as well. Richard is right re: how the study Bible notes and information is separated out from the text of the Bible, and I think it is for that very reason. There is an ESB Study Bible, the TLSB and I'm sure others that use the text of the ESV as it's base text, so I think Logos has kept those notes and features as separate from the biblical text itself, and there is no difference in the ESV version used. One of the things I haven't had time to investigate with regard to the Lutheran Study Bible is the Cross Reference verses. I know their centered in the text of the physical TLSB, but I don't see them in the notes portion of the electronic TLSB. And if you open the ESV, the footnotes and links are tied into footnotes and references in the ESV text itself. I use the TLSB as a linked resource to the ESV, for Example, both Link A, that way as I scroll through the text, it's in the same place.
One other side note is that when you go to prioritize resources, the TLSB is like a commentary, but right now when you open up a passage guide, it won't open automatically as you're preferred commentary, which from what I understand from a post elsewhere in the forum is something that will be corrected.
I also know that it was suggested elsewhere that one of the features that Logos consider adding to the Bibles is the option to select a Study Bible to overlay the bottom of the opened Bible, much like the interlinear text does at the bottom of the Bible text if you choose to turn it on. So that may be something that happens eventually.
Lastly, while I will mostly use Logos for working on my sermon text, when it comes to consulting cross referencing like the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, I'll probably also pull out my physical copy of TLSB just to see if there are any other cross references of interest, and I will also suggest to Paul McCain from CPH that perhaps they could make an electronic version of the cross references available as a Logos Resource, like the TSK.
Blessings one an all!
Hey Richard - How do you link your study Bibles to a Bible?
