Query about Type tab in the Books Search in Logos 22.0 beta 3
This is with Logos 22.0 beta 3 on Windows 11 Looking at the Bible Commentary section of the Type tab in a Books Search raised a couple of questions * How are the results ordered - particularly with different results from the same book appearing with others in between? * And would it be possible for books to be shown first…
How are results ordered in the Downloaded Books section of a Books Search?

BUG or INCONSISTENCY: Information panel
* The edit pencil does not appear for the short title until it has some content. Without the empty short title being an input box, the fact that it is an updatable field is inconsistent in its presentation. * Short title in the information panel is called abbreviated title in the library detail view. Data should have…
Repeatable Crash when loading layout

Different search results in Maps Search for Logos / Verbum
Running a Maps Search for jerusalem produces different results in the Atlas section for Logos and Verbum (I expected different results in the library section as I have different resources downloaded in the different apps) Why does Logos gives 12 results while Verbum gives 159? Screenshots taken with L10.1 beta 4 but I've…

Bug v22.0 Beta 1: Cannot select resources for Passage Lists
Resource selection for Passage Lists is not working e.g. click in the Box and the picker appears instead of allowing data entry.
BUG: Prioritization of a series
Normally, if one drag-and-drops any volume of a series into the priority list, the entire series is prioritized. If, however, you are working from a limited library installation, if one drag-and-drops a volume of the series which is not downloaded into the priority list, only that volume is prioritized. I would still…
Factbook Search search helps - use of templates
In 10.1 beta 3: Hi Factbook search search helps entry refers to using search templates and provides a link to them. But if you click the link you are advised that no templates are available (I didn't actually expect them). Should the link be removed?
Factbook Tags search - use of templates
Similarly to how the Factbook Search search helps suggests the use of search templates but where no search templates are available - reported at https://community.logos.com/forums/t/211961.aspx - the same is true for the Factbook Tags search.

BUG: Poor handling of cloud resource

Odd behavior in 22.0 beta 1?
I thought this was strange, so I am posting it in case others see something similar. My system was current on 10.1, resources updated - I got 4 resources into my library yesterday, and indexing was complete. Around dinner time, after being away from my desk most of the day, I noticed on the forums that beta 1 was out. So I…

BUG: Bizarre search counts on non-existent results/ erroneous counts on actual results
The Documents menu says I have about 38 Passage Lists. However, when I search them for a word I get 7,569 non-existent results in 205 documents; when I search them for a Bible reference which should give results I get 3,201 results in 57 documents. I should not be getting more documents searched than I have nor should I…

Logos 9.10 RC 1 Freezes on Speaker Label Search while in half screen
I'm working with Logos 9.10 RC 1. I was working with Logos on one half of the screen and my web browser on the other.

Disappearing Reading Plan Cards
The other day, I updated my Mac (Big Sur 11.2.3) to Beta 9.5.1, and my current reading plan cards disappeared from my dashboard. I tried on a Windows 10 PC and the same is true there, too.

Suggestion: Enable the Copy command from the search results list
One thing that has always puzzled me is why there is no context menu in a search results list. Everywhere else in Logos has a context menu when you right click.

BUG: Errors in acceptable Bible Book Abbreviations - English

Unexpected difference when using the NEAR and WITHIN n WORDS operator
This is with L10.1 RC1 on Mac I was trying to find any references to Genesis 3 describing the "rise of humanity" as opposed to a fall. And when I used the NEAR operator, I got two results in my library, when I used WITHIN 100 WORDS I only got one! The second is within a footnote as shown in the screenshot above. So it…

Searching Eph 6:24 in Bible Text in English Bibles: love NEAR love is counted as 4 results (where "love" occurs twice). love WITHIN 20 WORDS love is also counted as 4 results, whilst love BEFORE love is counted as 2 results (where "love" occurs twice). love NEAR christ is counted as 3 results (where "love" occurs twice).

BUG: Alternative morphologies in Word by Word fails on the Mac
See L/V 10 Tip of the Day #9 Viewing alternative morphologies - Faithlife Forums (logos.com) for a discussion of the problem ... and a reminder that "old" bugs can still be annoying even if someone has quit complaining.

In the Help function of the Text Converter, hovering over a link gives the value twice.

Christmas Is for the Sorrowful (Matthew 2:16–18)
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Except when it’s not. Christmas has a way of magnifying life’s joys. We take stock of them and set aside time to enjoy them. Like a magnifying glass, Christmas time not only spotlights what’s already present but enlarges our perception of it. This includes life’s joys—but also life’s sorrows. For many, Christmas can be one of the most painful times of the year.
What Does It Mean to Be Human? Theological Anthropology
Most simply, theological anthropology is the study of what it means to be human by starting with God and seeking to understand God’s intentions for humankind. Anthropology, as a social scientific discipline, can be done with or without reference to a divine being, whereas theological anthropology cannot. Further, Christian theological anthropology, as opposed to other […]
What Is the Great Tradition? Is it Too Great to Be True?
The Great Tradition refers to a set of doctrines, theologians, and creeds that have held common consent across the ages. While the phrase the Great Tradition is new, those who use it believe they participate in a tradition that extends back to the apostles. The term is thus a boundary marker for a body of teaching that Christians should retrieve today for the sake of renewing the church. This article explains the origins of the phrase, its present use, and its value for Christians today.
What Is Theological Retrieval? A Primer
Most know the fifth commandment well, but few reflect on its full implications: “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.”—Exodus 20:12 The scope of this command goes beyond our biological fathers and mothers, but extends to our spiritual fathers […]
