RESOLVED BUG: Inconsistent treatment of morphology in Context Menu
Here is an example of what I get on a Latin or Greek non-Biblical reference: However, a similar Syriac case behaves quite differently. Data missing on the left hand side. Notice lookup option on the right hand side. Try it. Hey, the information is available after all - it's just not showing. This kind of inconsistency…
Entering Greek and Hebrew searches without diacritical marks
I find it surprising that searching on a Greek or Hebrew word you must enter the exact diacritical marks. For example, you cannot search for h:מלך and find a word that has these consonants, regardless of the vowel points. Accents in Greek words can change depending on the word that follows in a sentence. (e.g. an acute…
BUG: Morph River Graph Not Pulsating
I am on macOS Catalina and logos 8.9 RC-1. When I open passage analysis and then select Morph River for ESV selecting verb by mood and then move the cursor over the mood table on the bottom left and rest it on a mood it does not change colors in the graph or pulsate.
bug: enter Greek
In a Morph search, I am having a problem when I select a Greek word from the pick list. When I type "greek:" followed by a transliterated Greek word, then select the word from the drop down list, "greek:" is added again. So the result is: greek:greek:ἐβαπτίσθην The problem does not happen if I just type g:. I came across…

BUG: Orange Highlighter Is Now Dull Brown 8.9 beta 3
With yesterday's update the natural orange highlighter, which used to be a bright orange, is now a dull brown. Is anyone else seeing this? PLEASE change it back. Orange is my primary highlighting color in Logos.
RESOLVED BUG: Crash when changing selection in Context Menu
Every hour or so, when I change the selection on the left-hand side of the Context Menu, Verbum crashes.

L8.9B2: repeatable CRASH double-clicking in some bibles

ACKNOWLEDGED BUG? suggested value omits the obvious
I have run a Search on a particular Event; I have identified that Event in the Biblical Event Navigator; I try to find the Event in Factbook and get no match.

RESOLVED BUG: Inconsistent labeling in menu together with a short, pointed rant
Which is the official title for Louw-Nida? (I think there is a 3rd but I'm too lazy to look for it - I think I've seen Louw-Nida Number.) Rant: I assume that you realize that it is the small errors such as this, missing documentation updates, new data that leads to dead ends, undefined data ... that gives Logos/Verbum an…

CRASH: 8.9b4 Crashes when navigating to Romans 13 (NIV84)
When I navigate to Romans 13 in the NIV84, 8.9b4 bombs out, 100% consistency. If I enable Logging with teh CTRL+Launch method, open NIV84 at that passage, no crash. If I then open the layout where I experienced the crash, and navigate to Rom 13 in the NI84 window, crash happens. Logs attached. Cheers Richard 1323.Logos.zip

ACKNOWLEDGED BUG? When does 12,069 = 8 = 8
The Context Menu shows Longacre genre as both a label and as a tab. So I ran a Bible Search for each from the Context Menu resulting in different syntax but the same results.

ACKNOWLEDGED BUG: Data bug (Sean) or process bug?? Jesus' tomb at the country of the Gerasenes
I selected Mark 5:2-6 in the NRSV, did a right click for a Context Menu and was rather surprised to find the event "Jesus' tomb is found empty" to be up the event chain from "Jesus sends demons into a herd of pigs". The Biblical Event Navigator failed to show me why this juxtaposition occurred. But throwing in random…

RESOLVED BUG/SUGGESTION: afloat in a boat on the seven seas?
In Mark 5:2 NRSV I selected a single word "boat" and opened the Context Menu. On the left, I selected Boats (Biblical thing).

Possible Bug: Clarification of how labels is to work in the new Notes is needed
Using the New Notes, I clicked on the label icon and added a new type of label - one that had no prior definition and therefore no defaults, standard attributes ....

Highlighting and taking notes on footnotes
I cannot see any way to highlight or take a note on a footnote in a resource. Many books have extensive content footnotes that have important information (even if not central to the main argument in the book). The ability to highlight and comment on these footnotes is critical for serious study of a scholarly monograph or…
Search through highlights
I use my highlights as a way of taking notes on books in my library. I cannot find any way to search through the highlights to find a particular word of phrase. In the Notes tools, if I search, it only find notes, not highlights. I am not sure why the search is limited to notes, given that highlights are put in the note…

Bug? Or Did I Never Notice This?
In L8 on Mac. I have noticed that the in a non-biblical resource, the Highlights filter doesn't eliminate all of the non-highlight text. Shouldn't there be an option to just show the highlighted areas?

Suggestion: Navigate to a highlight in the notes system
I would like a way to point to a highlight in a resource and then jump to that particular highlight in the notes tool. This would be useful to add a comment to the highlight to turn it into a note or to see other quotations that were highlighted around the same time. An "Edit" icon could be added to the context menu in the…
Suggestion: Show page of the anchor for a note
Is there a way to determine the page in the resource that a note is anchored to? The Anchors section of the note only gives the resource name abbreviation and not the page number. The page on the source is critical for a notetaking system for academic research. I want to know the page a note came from without having to…

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.
