BUG: Passage text missing in results with NT use of OT tool. WIN 8.4 Beta 1 (8.4.0.0007)
When I run the NT use of OT tool (with ESV or NASB) selecting only the Book (NT) > Hebrews, I only see the NT text, not the OT text when sorting by "New Testament". If I sort by "Source", I get text for both NT and OT. Examples and Logs attached. 4863.NT use of OT.zip P.S. Can you add a column that indicates the Type of…
Trying to select a page number in a NIVAC commentary opens a different commentary

Opening a notebook from the Notebook button in the Noted Editor
The release notes for 8.4 beta 1 have: * Added the ability to open a notebook from the Notebook button in the Notes Editor. And this is really welcome, pleased to see it. But, as far as I can see, it does this by selecting the Notebook in the currently open instance of the Notes Tool. I think it would be helpful - maybe…

CRASH
I was toying around in Theology guide, opened the resource menu, and then I think I dismissed the menu clicking outside of it, when it stalled and then crashed. This was 8.3, though the latest beta installed yesterday--I just had not restarted to complete the install. Wondering if that caused this crash? 8321.Logos Log…
Sending the content of a note to a Sermon Document
The release notes for 8.4 beta 1 have: * Added the ability to send the content of a note to a Sermon Document. This is really helpful but a couple of things: It only seems to have the ability to send to a new Sermon Document not one that is already open. Could the option of sending to an open document be added? And sending…

New notes list views in 8.4 beta 1
The release notes for 8.4. beta have: * Added two new notes list views. As far as I can see there are still "only" two - default and compact (and I assume "default" is what we used to have) The compact view is nice but am I missing another one?
8.3 beta 2: But: "New resources" menu jumps about
I just added hundreds of resources to my Logos installation. The "new resources" menu coped very well. Performance was excellent, and I could scroll up and down easily. However, the width of the menu kept changing as I scrolled, which was very off putting. PS - Personally I see no need to add short titles to this menu. You…

Feature Request: Local/This Device Column in Library

Homepage Bug
I made several (4) reading plans that started on or around January 1, 2019. So, I added those cards to the homepage with my other reading plans. Every time the homepage updates, the new plans get removed and I every day I add them back only to be removed again when it updates. This cannot be the proper use of the homepage.

BUG. Resoures are ready to be added to your library.
I get the blue circle (top right by my shortcuts) with '1' in it and when I click on it it says that 'Resources are ready to be added to your library.

Bug: Cloud Resources
Can someone explain why these 10 resources that do NOT show up in this latest Logos 8.3 Beta 1 [they are listed as "not on ANY device"] -- BUT they DO show up in my Verbum 8, the Logos Web App and Biblia.Com ? These resources are NOT "HIDDEN" yet they constantly say "Downloading" I have followed the other threads but have…
BUG: Sorting wrong titles as absent.
I've removed X books from my Verbum installation. The first X books, alphabetically, that are still in my installation show up as absent when I sort for the books that are absent.
8.3 - Cloud Resources and New Installer
I think I know the answer but want to be sure. Are the reduced resource options in the new installer linked to the Cloud Resource feature? From what I have read here I think that the answer is "Yes" as it looks like the installer sets up a Cloud Resource configuration to limit the size so this means the new installer will…
Logos doesn't work in the future
While testing my Rainmeter VotD skin I was doing a little time traveling, setting my clock one month ahead and noticed Logos doesn't like it. It will crash on startup the first time, then open the first login screen below. It will let me login, although when I come back from the future I get the same problems. Ok. So weird…

Bug? Sermon cannot have the same name as a Passage List
When I send a Passage List to a sermon, I cannot name the sermon with the same name as the Passage List. It adds (2) to the title. Since they are different document types, it should be possible to use the same name for both.
BUG: LHB-CA VW language selection precludes results
Selecting either "Hebrew" or "Aramaic" (as opposed to "either"), for a Visual Word element, precludes any results whatsoever. Note: a selection can be made on a Text Segment element.
BUG: LHB-CA Text Segment lemma selection precludes results
Searching for a lemma form on a Text Segment precludes any results. It does work to search on the text form. As you can see in the screenshot, the lemma list populates correctly, but selecting from the list results in no results!

Feature request: Annotated Passage List
I would like the ability to highlight words and takes notes on the verses in a Passage List. I would want these notes only to be part of the verse list, not notes on the Bible text itself. The ideal arrangement would be have the option to split the panel with verses on the left and notes related to each verse on the right.…

8.3 beta 2: Feedback on the new installation process
I was excited to try the new installation process on my laptop. I'd had to remove Logos from that device, due to space constraints. In summary, I really like the UI, but there are three big caveats: * When you're choosing your installation type, you're only given download size, not install size. But install size is vital…
BUG: Default Notes Font Changes Clippings
The default notes font also changes the default clippings font. I think these should be two independent settings. I like the native default clippings font but not the default notes font. I shouldn't have to choose one over the other for two different tools. It doesn't even make sense because the default system fonts are…
Fresh Install beta 4
Hi all, The only reason I'm running the beta is because I want to run Logos on my SSD which is only 128 gigs. My hope was to download a subset of my resources. I think I'm missing something. I uninstall Logos (it was running on my D drive), then install choosing the "custom" option and making sure to uncheck the download…
Bug Beta 4: Scanning Resources after the initial download
Beta 4 was installed with the Recommended set of resources (85 \ 2202 library resources). Then I thought to Scan the remainder of my resources from a backup, but the Indexer showed that a number of resources "failed to open at one or more locations; requiring discovery." These were not indexed, but were shown as "On…

Bug Beta 4: Sorting Library by License gives strange results
Click the License heading in Library The number of Temporary resources is correct! But the twelve shown are the temporary ones "On the Device". The number of Permanent resources is correct, and 2137 resources are listed! This is connected with the issue I had scanning files from a backup that included all my resources. No…
Design Bugs L8.3 B1: Add Highlight
The new beta adds the "add highlight" to the right-click menu, which probably is a good thing for many users (I personally prefer to highlight with keyboard keys - why do I tell this?

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.
