Oddity: Picklist shows two resources where library only shows one
The library when searched by author name, shows only one resource - not two. I wasted time trying to get both titles to open.
BUG: constantly shifting tabs and misplaced menu.
I had used a library search to identify all volumes of Sacred Art, then opened all twelve volumes. I then opened each volume in alphabetical order, captured the link in reading list form, and closed the tab. When I got to James Tissot, the three tabs on the left began the flickering action (long standing bug) AND the popup…
Grammar error in "About this Workflow" in Lectio Divina
The text begins "This workflow use the" ... it should be "This workflow uses the" ... i.e. agreement in number between subject and verb.
BUG: Search for all documentation is incomplete
* In the application menu there is an option "Browse all documentation" which no longer does a satisfactory job of that. The reason is that it opens the library with the filter "Manual" * The series of resources that document the labels and attributes of many items added in Logos 9 (the All the N in the Bible series) are…
CTRL-SHFT-K NOT WORKING in ESVEC
It just started today- have restarted twice- "erase" and "crl-shft-k" have both ceased removing highlights of text in the ESVEC series- but works in other resources.
Logos won't download unhidden resources
Logos 9.10 Beta 2 (9.10.0.0006); Windows 11 (with 11th Generation i7 and Intel Iris Xe Graphics) I had a problem when I tried to unhide the NASB Paragraph Version. (See post HERE). Over a half-hour after unhiding the resource, the Library Information pane still says, "Downloading, and when I try to open the resources - it…
BUG: Important words guide section lacks link to help file
As the heading states, the Important Words section header bar lacks the question mark icon to take one to document or show definition on hover.
Surprising Syntax Search Result
I created this Syntax search for Future Perfect Periphrastics in the Lexham Syntactic Greek New Testament. The construction must have a future form of εἰμί plus a perfect participle within the same clause. While my syntax search may have its imperfections, the results were surprising. The results include Revelation 21:6-8,…
BUG: Logos Help file has disappeared
Logos 9.14 Beta 1 Mac OS 12.2.1 Don't know when it happened, as I have not felt the need for this file in many months, but it is now MIA.
BUG Logos 9.14 B1: morph search picker doesn't show all items
This bug exists in Logos 9.14 Beta 1, but also in Verbum 9.13 stable - and I seem to remember discussing this before, but couldn't find a forum thread. This came up in a recent Faithlife.com group posting: https://faithlife.com/posts/4420935 Bug: The morph search picker sometimes doesn't show all available selection items.…

Is there any way for a user to create and save a Search Template?
BUG: Factbook Does Not Follow Font Settings
The Factbook does not follow system settings. I have Logos set to san serif but the key article in FB shows serifs.

Difference between labels and tags
In Bibles, there some information about words are tags of various kinds, while others are labels. For example, Greek/Hebrew morphology are tags and various types of figures of speech are labels. I am trying to wrap my mind around the difference between tags and labels in Bibles. The search syntax is different. For various…
BUG: Formatting lost in copy and paste

BUG: Factbook lemma entry key article failure to show complete data
Note Factbook key article has neither a <more> nor a scroll bar but the final line of the article is missing.
Searching for grammatical feature within a quotation
I know I can find quotations where a certain person is a speaker. For example: {Speaker <Person Jesus>} I want to search for a certain word or morphology within the quotation itself? I want to limit the search to the contents of the quotation rather than the verse as a whole. The way I am doing this is as follows. Suppose…
BUG: Crash on renaming a custom workflow
I have been having a problem with Verbum adding a (2) to custom workflows when they are initially created i.e. there is no other workflow sharing the name. When I tried to rename the workflow without the unneeded suffix, the system crashed. VerbumCrash.zip
BUG: alphabetic order in Factbook facets
alphabetic order is not English order ...
Allowing but not requiring a word in a Morph Query
I have a couple of questions about creating Morph Query Documents. 1. How can I set up an optional term in a Morph Query? I would want to allow but not require a certain type of word (or words) in a specific position. An example would to allow a post-positive conjunction to appear between an article and a noun, but I don't…
Puzzling result of a Clause search
I am trying understand a puzzling result in a Clause search. In 2 Thess 1:3, ἀλλήλων is found in a Clause search for subject-lemma:ἀλλήλων in the SBLGNT. I don't understand how it can be found in a search for the subject. This word is classified correctly as the object of the preposition εἰς in the SBLGNT. In addition, the…
Bugs in Media tool / Amber integration

Bug?? Uploaded images do not maintain tags or respect deletion of tags
Images that are uploaded into Notes do not hold tags or respect the deletion of automatic tags. Note also that some auto tags will not delete. Here's a screencast: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15DFLdk-Izihty1semPD-c8oCXn2I67GM/view?usp=sharing
Errors in Factbook sidebar
Here the Gospels appear to have disappeared. Some elements appear to be at an incorrect level.
Context menu bug Lexham Syntactic Greek New Testament
When I open the context menu by right clicking on a word in the Lexham Syntactic Greek New Testament (LSGNT), the menu does not allow me to search the LSGNT, which is the Bible I am opening the Context menu from. It does offer other choices, such as All Open, which would of course include the LSGNT. This is a round about…
Searching on labels that are not in the Context menu
The Information panel reveals numerous tags and labels that are not available in the Context menu. Many of these do not include a hyperlink to a definition or a search. How can I conduct a search on these labels? This screenshot show some of the Figures of Speech that are listed in the Information panel when I click on the…

Searching for Speaker in a Clause search
Does the Clause search allow searching for Speaker or Addressee?
Tagging Greek words with multiple roots in the New Testament
Logos is inconsistent about the tagging of the roots of Greek words in the Greek New Testament and (as a result) the reverse interlinear Bibles. Some Greek words come from multiple roots. For example, ἐκβάλλω ("cast out") comes from the roots ἐκ ("out") and βάλλω ("throw"). Similarly ἀναγινώσκω ("read") comes from ἀνα…
Clause search inconsistencies
I am trying to understand the meaning of some of the various "Judah" options in a Clause search. The following refer to persons: * person:Judah (patriarch) refers to the Patriarch of Israel. * Does person:Kingdom of Judah refer to the members of the tribe of Judah? * person:Judas (ancestor of Jesus): why would this be…
Search differences on Nestle-Aland and United Bible Societies Greek New Testaments
I am trying to determine why I get different search results on the Nestle-Aland (NA28) and United Bible Societies (UBS5) Greek New Testaments. Both have the same Greek text, but minor differences in punctuation. For example, a Morphological search in the book of Titus for @N BEFORE 1 WORDS lemma:καί produces the following…

Reading plan: Visual filter and Reading plan list out of sync by 1 day
I often - and for years - have seen that the heading in the resource (visual filter) and the reading plan list is out of sync by 1 day, see 2 screendumps.
BUG: Cannot add additional anchors to response notes
If I have a resource with response fields, it creates a note, as expected. However, if I add an additional anchor to the note it wipes out the response field and its anchor.
HIghlighting in dark mode
I know this has been discussed before, just putting in a request to please do something to have a better highlighting theme/scheme than this.
searching on the "base" field
I am trying to get my mind around the proper use of the "base" field. The Help document says that this refers to the Stem Form. I expected that this means that this would search for all forms of the word. So a search for base:love should be equivalent to using the "Match all Word Forms" with a search for "love".…
BUG: No Lemma Selection
After yesterday's 9.13b2 update the word "draw" in John 6:34 no longer has a lemma to select in the right-click menu. The same word, in DBL:GREEK no longer opens TDNT when you click the TDNT listing, and the same word in the BIble Word Study no longer lists half of my lexicons.

Sermon Notes - Thoughts on making Scriptures stand out?
I would like the Scriptures to stand out in my Sermon Notes. I have tried increasing size and changing the highlight color - doable, except I have to do that with multiple passages. Would love to see another option drop down menus for "Scriptures" - where the passage might be surrounded by a blue outline (or something…
Search on Topic field vs a Topic search
What is the difference between these two searches: * Search 1: Select Topic field and enter the word "Marriage" * Search 2: Search All Text with the search <Topic Marriage> Both are Basic searches, but they produce different results when I search All Resources in my Library. Search 1 produces 59 results, but Search 2 only…
Topical searches
I know the subject of topical searches has come up from time to time over the years. Given the vastly improved Factbook in Logos 9, I suspect Faithlife intends that we all use the Factbook for topical research, rather than searches on the Topic data type. The creation of a Factbook icon where the Search icon used to be and…
Occasional Crash
My Logos Beta on my Mac crashes now and again when closing all resources using the close all button. Here are the logs.
Repeatable crash
I thought I would post this crash here since I am in the Verbum/Mac beta and posting in this other thread was being ignored with all the Windows symptoms. I am hopeful this can be fixed or at least acknowledged since it is NOT what is happening on the Windows side. I tried this, from another thread: "I upgraded today to…

Reading plan bug
I assume this is a bug, I opened "The Third Book of Maccabees", by C.W. Emmet. First, I created a default reading plan, it was created, then I changed the time from 1 year to 12 weeks. I got a bunch of overlapping assignments for different days. But then, I deleted that Reading plan, and just created the default reading…

Beyond Rituals: How Liturgy Shapes Ethics
To many, an emphasis on liturgy might seem to be more of a liability than a support for ethics. Admittedly, the relationship between liturgy and ethics can easily be framed negatively. Citing passages from the prophets such as Amos 5 or Isaiah 1, where God declares his displeasure in rituals performed by unjust, oppressive, idolatrous, and otherwise unfaithful worshipers, liturgy might be thought of as empty form or mere motions, too often masking hard hearts and unjust hands.
Is the Creation Story Literal? | Vern Poythress on Genesis 1:1–2:3
How should we understand the Bible’s Creation story in Genesis 1? In this episode of What in the Word?, Kirk E. Miller is joined by Vern Poythress to explore the genre, interpretation, and theological intent of Genesis 1:1–2:3. They discuss various interpretive models—such as literal 24-hour days, the literary framework view, day age theory, and more—while addressing questions of history, science, and the meaning of the days of creation. Tune in as we reflect deeply on how Scripture portrays God as the sovereign, wise, and beneficent Creator.
What Is Nestorianism? The Theotokos Debate Explained
Nestorianism is an ancient heresy that speaks about Christ as if he is two persons instead of one, that is, the one Lord Jesus Christ. The flashpoint in the debate over Nestorianism was Nestorius’s denial that mary bore God in her womb and thus was theotokos, God-bearer. The councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon in 431 and 451 formally condemned Nestorianism.
