Bible Word Study does not show Septuagint text
The Bible Word Study on Greek words lists verses in the Septuagint (LXX) as well as the New Testament. However, the text of the LXX verses is not displayed in the verse list in the Clause Participants section. If I hover over the reference, the text is displayed in a balloon window. I assume this is because the text is…
MAJOR BUG: Search error on lemma - it appears the BSL used surface text
Note the Bible Sense Lexicon: First lemma has a count of 3. Run the search: This has a count of 4 but notice Ex 10:6 shows under a different lemma in the BSL. BIG ERROR: It appears that the BSL used the surface text rather than the lemma. The same error occurs on the mouse-over pop-up information card for grandfather in…
BUG: Why should I trust Logos Bible Sense Lexicon results?
This is the documentation of the behavior of the Biblical Sense Lexicon. The examples highlighted in blue do not work as stated ... relationships was generally empty.
BUG: Constant motion of tabs/Snagit can't capture
I had just opened a lexicon from a search. The three tabs in the lexicon pane starting "moving" in the sense of the continual repainting of the tabs - and only the tabs. Trying to capture it with Snagit was unsuccessful. As soon as Snagit focused, the repainting stopped. 2402.LogosIndexerError.zip
Annoyance: Logos loses what I typed in Location box
It is an annoyance that when I shift the focus away from Logos to another program, whatever I have typed in the Location box is deleted. I was entering a Hebrew word and wanted to look at another window to verify spelling and Logos deleted what I had typed already. Why not just leave that text in the Location box so I can…

BUG: Factbook lemma count sparkline mismatch.
Why doesn't the count for the lemma (see red) sparkline match the popup count for the lemma (green line)
BUG: History menu of Biblical Event Manager
The titles of all entries are identical - they do link to different locations as they should.
RESOLVED: Grammatical roles have disappeared in BWS
The semantic roles work as expected but all references to grammatical roles appear to have disappeared from the Clause Participants section. Just when I need it I find it MIA ... Ignore all written documentation and run against a Greek verb ... the grammar is verb oriented ... think more in line with dependency grammars.
Building a collection on another collection
Is there a way to make a collection that contains other collections? For example, if I have collections of Classical Greek reference books (lexicons, grammar, textbooks, etc.), Septuagint Greek reference books, and New Testament Greek reference books, could I make one super collection containing all 3 collections? I might…
BUG: Multiple errors in Referred To As section
* BUG 1: fathers appears twice but should be a single entry * BUG 2: my is never an independent entry - they should be "my master" or "my ancestor" ... * BUG 3: occurrence of Abram in Gen 14:20 missing
BUG: Abraham's nephew is a thing?
I generally consider Lot to be a Biblical man .. not a thing
Beta Testing
I am intersted in beta testing. I have entered "set update channel to beta" (as per the instruction) in the command box but 'nothing' happened. Obviously more is needed. Further directions will be much appreciated. Thanks. Martin Webster
Bug 8.5 beta 1: Collections and Cloud Resources
Cloud Resources don't appear in collections - either in the library, or in the collections tool. There's no obvious reason for them not to - after all, all the metadata is there. This is a problem, not least because it's natural to want to download all the resources in a particular collection.
Same Day Release question
Lately Faithlife has been announcing Same Day Release of some Bible commentaries and other reference books. How do we know if a Same Day Release book is a Research Edition or a Reading Edition (https://www.logos.com/logos-editions)? I thought same day release was for books that you would read sequentially cover to cover,…
Feedback on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament interactive
Congrats on this - nice idea. So far my main feedback would be that when you select "Original Language" I would like to see the LXX included. The reason is that most echoes, allusions, and citations of the OT in the NT seem to be based on the LXX text (some estimates I've seen are around 75%). So, even in those cases in…

NT use of the OT interactive - translation choice issue
I'm on Logos 7.1 beta 5 and having just received the update to this interactive, I can't work out why the OT verses insist on displaying from the NRSV - this happens regardless of my choice of translation in the top left, and the LEB is set as my default translation and my highest prioritised Bible (ESV is second). I don't…
Forum bug: Post count not increasing
I don't know where else to report this, but I know Faithlife staff are active here. For the last several dozen forum posts, my post count has been stuck at 1098 and will not budge. Perhaps an index in the forum database needs to be recreated. I have had to reset my Faithlife account before and I am not eager to do this,…

BUG: Parallel Passages guide does not wrap long lines of references ( 8.7 RC 1 WIN 8.7.0.0038)
Run the Parallel Passages guide for 1 Thessalonians 4:8. There are many more Bible references than are visible for "Sinful Desires" and "Dedicated Life". In order to see them all you must make the pane much wider than you would normally have it or display the guide in a floating window.
BUG: Significant missing results on the Lord's Prayer a.k.a. Our Father/Nuestro Padre
From the Factbook page I start the suggested Search <Topic Lord’s Prayer> OR "Lord’s Prayer" OR "Lord's Prayer" OR "Pater Noster" which in my library yields 52,143 results in 4,655 resources. Fortunately, I realize that the suggested Search should be at a minimum <Topic Lord’s Prayer> OR "Lord’s Prayer" OR "Lord's Prayer"…

Courses tool does not show some Courseware

Creating a new note is very slow.
I have a large notes file, currently holding 2300 notes on one of my notebooks. It is filled with notes I've copied & pasted over the years, as well as my own original thoughts.

What Your Church Needs to Train Leaders (You Probably Already Have It)
It is said that good leaders make more leaders. Jesus trained up his disciples to be apostles, his apostles trained pastors to be shepherds, and those pastors trained up more pastors who also went and taught others. So how can churches train up such leaders nowadays?
Ministering to Trauma Survivors: 3 Lessons from the Book of Job
The book of Job asks many questions and gives very few answers. It is a passionately and beautifully written testament to suffering, confusion, and pain. In the end, Job does not get the answers he has been seeking, but he receives something else, something that brings him to a place of healing and restoration. Trying […]
What Does the Bible Say About Church Hurt? 5 Lessons
As humans living in a fallen world, we are all deeply flawed and inherently sinful. Because of our tendency to deviate from God’s original intention for us, all institutions, including the church, are far from perfect and prone to missteps. These missteps could involve everyday interactions in which personalities clash or when differences of opinion […]
Hospitality in the Bible: Following Jesus’s Hospitality of the Cross
On the night of His betrayal, Jesus knew that the Father had given him all things into his hands. This biblical phrase signifies dominion and power, yet Jesus chose to use this authority not for revenge or domination, but for acts of hospitality—washing feet, serving meals, and displaying God’s infinite welcome. From creation to the Last Supper, hospitality is woven into the fabric of God's mission, and it calls us to extend this same welcome to others in the name of Christ.
