BUG: copying information from About on the Speaking to God interactive fails to create citation.
yes, I have been consistently been getting citations from other resources but not from Evans, Eli, ed. 2016. Speaking to God. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife. Evidence: Included Data This interactive resource contains a table of information selectable by facet. The available information includes: * Type: The type of speech*…
BUG: coding of oak in Gen 12:6
I am puzzled as to why Gen 12:6 is not found in this search: Looking at the RVI it looks as if oak should be selected but the context menu shows only the compound for place not oak in its own right This makes it difficult to determine the connotation of "oak" or to trust statistics on the lemma.
BUG: Preaching Theme Manual
Follow-up to thread => How to make a particular Search was trying to create a search of Preaching Theme for God's Grace. Manual has God: Grace while Logos 9.1 Beta 4 has God's Grace spelling (like the change from colon to apostrophe s, but not like documentation mismatch). An awesome documentation improvement would be a…
DATA bug: Text of Jeremiah 18:18 misclassified
In selecting the Literary Type: Psalm, Complaint I expected the text of Jeremiah 18:19-23 to be considered the psalm/complaint. I did not expect Jeremiah 18:18 which is the plotting against Jeremiah to be included. Am I correct that this is an error in classification?
BUG: Paragraph analysis on Inline search
It is my understanding that a stanza is the metered text equivalent to a prose paragraph. Should the poem not be broken into stanzas, then entire poem is treated as a stanza ... I've never seen individual lines all treated as separate paragraphs - especially discombobulating when it disrupts the parallelism structures.

BUG: Missing Lookup option in Context Menu for Commands in the Bible

BUG: Bible browser bug is broader than generally reported.
The inability to select headings as a facet in the Bible Browser has been reported multiple times with the inability to select Old Testament, New Testament, Apocrypha/Deuterocanon ... However, the need to be able to select headings is broader - try to find all instances of Abraham speaking to God. Abraham as speaker is not…
BUG: Garbage results in results
Superset in sense fails to find the "this sense" i.e. the sense specified. Comparing the results to show the problem is strictly the omission of "this term": Search argument Search rule Results <sense = tent> Finds exactly this sense 348 results in 315 verses <sense ~ tent> Finds this sense and all narrower senses 363…
15 verse limit on Word by Word guide?!? (Logos 9.1 Beta 4 WIN 10)
When I run the Word by Word Guide, it will only show 15 verses. A lot of pericopes are longer than 15 verses. My expectation is that it would show all the verses in the entered reference so I don't have to run it several times in 15 verse increments to cover the whole pericope. (If a limit is needed, maybe to the last…

Select the back navigation menu < now Mamre is highlighted but not in the selection list
Complete uninstall of Verbum
I want to do a complete uninstall of Verbum without leaving any files behind. After uninstalling the program, Verbum left a lot of files and folders behind in C:\Users\hh\AppData\Local\Verbum. Are there other files that I should delete?

Philana, it happened again ... unwanted resources downloaded
In beta testing, I kept getting my cloud only resources downloaded; you asked me to capture logs the next time it happened. Well, it happened again but on a small scale that I didn't notice in time to grab the logs. However, there may be a pattern. Is it possible that updated resources don't check if they have been left in…

Preventing Internet usage during searches
Is there a way to prevent Logos from using Internet during searches? I cannot see a way to disable Cloud and Bookstore searches when I do a Basic search. I am often in a situation where I have limited and slow Internet access and don't want to use the precious and expensive data inadvertently. I know I could disable…
BUG Multiple resource tagging
Logos Bible Software 9.1 Beta 2 won't allow setting tags on multiple items in the Library. I sure hope this is a bug that will get fixed soon. I'm on a MacBook Pro running Big Sur (11.0.1).
Inconsistency in data
The Everything Search input: The search results Why does the former use "Man, Patriarch, Prophet, Seer, Shepherd" while the latter uses "Biblical Man, Patriarch, Prophet, Shepherd". There is clearly a difference in source but I don't understand why.
Author search not working?
I am ultimately trying to create a collection of the books I have authored by St. John Chrysostom. I tried creating a collection starting from author:Chrysostom, and I got a number of resources not authored by him. So I dropped back - I opened my library, and I did author:Chrysostom, and I got the same result as in the…
BUG: resizing bible text in Canvas Tool (reposting)
I inserted a passage into a new Canvas. The text was too big so I tried to reduce the font size. For some reason, when resized the words "Beth Shemesh" in 1 Samuel 6:13–7:2 (ESV) sit above the rest of the text. I've tried doing the same in several other passages (John 1, Genesis 12) but these seem to resize without any…
Bookstore search does not match exact wordforms (bug and request)
I am doing a Basic search with "Match All Word Forms" deselected. The search of the Bookstore appears to ignore this selection and matches all word forms anyway. Also, I do not want to search the Bookstore every time I do a search. This adds clutter to my search results and slows up the search significantly. (It added 5…

Bug: Factbook heading missing
When one chooses the bottom line of the Factbook select menu (Show all for . . .) the entry that shows no longer has a heading.

What’s the Purpose of Work? How Vocations Participate in God’s Mission
It’s Monday. You wake up to another week. Yesterday was Sunday, but you missed church again for a pressing work project.

How to Minister in a Disenchanted Age? 1 Peter and Re-Personalization
It is often assumed that Christianity grew and maturated in the ancient world because the gospel fit its sense of enchantment. So many have proposed that we need to re-enchant that which has been disenchanted. One aspect of enchantment evidently means rehabilitating ancient Christian practices—and the weirder it is, the more enchanting. While the weirdness of Christianity is unavoidable, this article wants to argue something more obvious and overlooked: Re-enchament abounds when Christians live out their ordinary lives in the midst of an unbelieving world.
What Does It Mean to Take God’s Name in Vain? | Carmen Joy Imes on Exodus 20:7
What does it really mean to take God’s name in vain? Is it just about using God’s name irreverently, or is there more to it? In this episode of What in the Word?, Kirk E. Miller is joined by Carmen Joy Imes, an expert in Old Testament studies, to explore one of the most commonly misunderstood commandments.
Meet Jesus’s Other Father: The Overlooked Legacy of Joseph of Nazareth
Joseph of Nazareth, the adoptive father of Jesus, is neglected in theology and biblical studies and even in devotion. In Protestantism, he is seldom more than a Christmas decoration. In Catholicism, despite centuries of veneration of the Holy Family, he had no liturgical feast day of his own until 1481 (celebrated on March 19) and […]
