BUGS: Two bugs in Biblical People Guide
* Quite by accident I discovered that at certain widths, the ellipses for more entries do not show (red arrows). Expanding the panel makes them show. * Notice the erroneous duplicate entries (green arrows)
BUG 8.2 Passage List not adding references
I have tried both by selection and from clipboard - neither will add the references to the Passage List. * Open Husser, Lydia. Atlas Maps: Dataset Documentation. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2017. * Open new Passage List * Highlight Biblical References as shown below * Select Add passages from: selected text * Wait long…
8.1 Beta 1 Bug? Unable to return to Bible text after filtering for highlights
I took the following steps: 1. My NASB95 is open to Romans 15:7 2. I opened the side panel, selected the Notes and Highlights display, selected Type: Highlights, then Bible Book: Romans to see my Romans highlights. 3. I then cleared the both the Bible Book: Romans and the Type: Highlights filters I was surprised not to see…
Bug: 8.1 beta 3 - Concordance doesn't show references in the context menu.
I suspect this bug has been here for a while, but I couldn't see it reported. To reproduce: * Run a concordance on a Bible. * Right-click on any Bible reference. Result: * The right-hand side of the context menu displays only "selection" and "link" Expected result: * The right-hand side of the context menu would also…
Uninstalling Logos 8
I need some help on doing a COMPLETE uninstall of Logos 8. If possible I need directions. I am using Mac Mojave. I did try to find info online but it was terribly confusing to me trying to find library folder where many of the Logos files are held.
Syncing
Please excuse the double post (also in iOS mobile app), I can sync from my iPad Air 2 to my MacBook Air (2017) BUT NOT from the MacBook Air to the iPad! Not sure where the problem lie but this is a new problem which occurred at some point AFTER the release of L8. It worked well right after the release but got broke…
BUG: Explorer reference processing
I can get quick lists of Biblical entities by putting a range, even Gen-Rev, into the Explorer tool. However, do the following: * Open Explorer * Enter Esther (or other Biblical book) * Select Esther from the drop-down menu * It comes up as Esther 1:1 This is not how the bible reference text box works in other situations.…
Bug – Timeline Crash
Reference this thread in the General Forum 0640.LogosLogs.Mike.20181118-144929.zip Entering (and clicking on the dropdown list) crashes Logos. MacOS 10.14.1 and Logos 8.1 Beta 2 8.1.0.0004 (and the stable version too)
Export Slides Panel
I don't know if Logos 8 has had this issue from the beginning, but the latest beta (8.1.0.0016) doesn't indicate the selection when exporting slides. Logos 7 used radio buttons to indicate the selected Proclaim presentation. Logos DOES properly export to the selected presentation, but the lack of confirmation before…
Strange Behaviour Passage Guide
I have numerous PG's setup ranging from Gen to Rev- I noticed a behaviour last night when I opened a 4th commentary tab using collection created under the series:Classic Commentaries and Studies on Genesis.- named CC-Genesis. This "commentary" group appeared in all my passage guides from Gen to Rev all the same Genesis…
Still a Bug in Beta 1: Home Page Update
On the Mac it is common to leave apps up, they don't have to be shut down like in Windows - so my Verbum/Mac is restarted only when an update comes down). Unlike Logos 7, Logos 8 does not refresh its Home Page daily, so today I work in Verbum/Mac with a Home page showing Devotionals from yesterday. Please fix this so I…
BUG: 8.1 RC-2 REGRESSION
Logos 8.1 RC-2 Mac OS 10.14.1 Again, material from a Logos resource pasted into a note does not contain a link back to the source. To get the link, I had to paste the material into MS Word and then copy it back into the Logos note. Even that link was broken until I quit and restarted Logos. You had this fixed, but you…
BEFORE search not working when is specified
Am I missing something obvious or is there a bug here? I would have expected search in the top left to result in (at least) the same results as the bottom left (This is with Logos 8.1 RC2 on Windows 10)

BUG: Passage Exegesis Workflow - Identify People section
The icon in the upper right of Biblical People does not open the new panel as it should.
Home page requests
The ability to arrange and add to the "dashboard" on the Home page is quite nice. I wish this flexibility extended to the Explore section. I find the Explore section terribly cluttered and confusing, with its random mixture of blogs, promotions and training videos. It would help make sense of it all if these could be…
Bug: Passage Guide "Add" menu does not scroll on Mac
(Logos 8.1.0.0013 on Mac) The Passage Guide "Add" menu is too long to display on the screen, and it does not scroll so I cannot add items after "Sermon Outlines":
Bug Clause Search
Even though LHB is selected not given the option to select Old Testament scripture.
BUG: Library in "grouped" sorting not working right (triangle disappears)
I have 8.1 Beta 1 (Mac), but the problem was occurring in the released version too. It occurs when the library is sorted by a column that groups the results (type, author, series, etc). Clicking on the triangle twisty control works properly, but clicking anywhere else in the header line of a group makes the triangle twisty…
Bug: Library not updating for new resources
Two separate groups of new resources were downloaded and indexed (Auto Download = NO), but Library did not update to show them, and the resource count (All) was unchanged. 7838.LogosIndexer.zip
BUG: Contents of the Biblical Events Guide fails to show all occurrences
The other Biblical Entity Guides give me a comprehensive list of the places the data occurs e.g. all references to God, all references to Dove ... However, Biblical Events only shows those in my passages rather than all occurrences as I would expect. Is that a bug? Yes, it is as per the Help file. "Events occurring — Lists…

Questions about sharing a document
I have a few questions about sharing a document. I am using Logos 8.1 beta 4 on Windows 10. 1. From the desktop program, when I right click on a document name in the Docs list, I only see the option to make the document Public. Is there a way to share the document with only a select group of people without going to Manage…
Bug: WIndow opens off screen.
Hi, Running Logos 8.1.0.0007 on WIndows 10 (latest update). When I cllick on the gear wheel over the explore section of the front page the top half of the pop-up vanishes under the title of the window. This only happens when view is maximised, if I make it smaller it does not happen.
Logos 8 crashes when pressing Go button with passage in "strange" state
Crash with Logos 8.1 beta 4 on Windows 10 This was originally reported in https://community.logos.com/forums/t/176300.aspx and I've reproduced it in the beta version. It seems as though the "Go" button is being left in a strange state after the steps outlined in the original post(s). Log attached 62727.Logos.log Graham
"My Bible Word Study" made in L7 is not visible in L8, but L8 thinks it's there.
In L7 I had a Guide named "My Bible Word Study" but I can't find it in L8. I created a new "My Bible Word Study" in L8 and when I saved it, it was renamed to "My Bible Word Study (2)" as if I already had a guide named "My Bible Word Study". The L7 guide does not show up in the Guides menu nor in the right-click menu for…
BUG: Timeline line title error for John the Baptist preaches

ATLAS 4 events, one flag?
Is the intent to tell me that all four events occurred in Bethany? no distinction for baptism in the river or temptation in the desert or for the Pinacle of the Temple (in the Legend higher up - but not on map)?
ATLAS Legend entry ambiguity
When testing with the Temptation of Jesus, the Legend on the Map links Pinnacle and Temple separately while Factbook treats "Pinnacle of the Temple" as a single entity. I am a fan of consistency and believe the Factbook to be the more accurate representation of the text. Yes, Sean, I put "Atlas" in the heading. I may be…

BUG in right click on route name link in Atlas
In the legend portion of the Atlas: * right click to open context menu on "Mary" in "Mary's route to visit Elizabeth" * be puzzled at the top entry on the left "Go to May (mother of Jesus) in preferred Bible" * select action Open link on the left. * It opens Mary (mother of Jesus) in Factbook Please make the wording on the…
BUG: Missing options in Compare Versions Guide
The inability to specify the base translation is especially annoying but I see no reason that they need to change or to have defaults only.: * The image on the left is L8 * The image on the right is pre-L8
Bug: Text selection
I am not sure if this an interface bug or a resource bug -- perhaps a combination. I have noticed that a number of times that when I try to select text clicking and dragging the mouse, no text is marked in blue as selected. But if I press Ctrl+K to highlight the text after dragging the mouse over it, it is highlighted with…
BUG? at least a source of confusion.
I was looking at the resources documented as being in the Ancient Literature dataset. The very first volume left me puzzled: * Why are "A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek: Exegetical Discussion" and "A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek" listed as two resources? Usually, when Logos divides a book into two or more resources, it…
BUG: behavior and documentation don't match ... something needs to change

BUG: Duplicate duplicate indistinguishable entries on right column of + tab
Using the + to add a new tab is a frustrating exercise in crystal ball gazing ... no other way that I know of to tell the difference between the multiple entries ... I just counted the duplicates on the first two pages ...
BUG: Open Google Maps from Atlas Tool
Testing the Panel Menu open in Google Maps rather misplaced Jordan/Bethany beyond the Jordan ... I've not even found apocrypha that has Jesus baptized in the Mediterranean Sea.
Is this intentional?
It appears that the Workflow "Biblical Place Study" accesses no maps, including the Atlas. Doesn't this provide a negative subliminal message? Is that the message you want to send re: Logos 8?
BUG: Problem with entering Bible reference into Atlas tool
The Atlas is supposed to accept either a Bible reference or a Topic entry. Knowing that I was testing with the Baptism of Jesus from Mark 1, I felt no obligation to remember the verses ... I simply choose the right pericope. Imagine my surprise when the input box offered only the part of the Bible reference I had typed and…
Bug: Cannot open Bible Reading Plan Layout
Inputs to GO/Command box: Open Bible Reading suggests the Bible Journaling layout Open Bible Reading Plan doesn't suggest any layout.
ATLAS data (Sean) Trick question: where was Jesus baptized?
Yes, that is a trick question. If I check my Bible, it seems to say: "in the Jordan (River)" However, some cartographer has corrected the information by a couple of kilometers to "Bethany beyond the Jordan". Is it really that hard to stick to what the scriptures explicitly say? Or at least stay with the obvious water…
How do I get this to work?
The menu is invoked by clicking on the Verbum icon on the title bar. This causes the tool tip to change to which flickers around for a bit then disappeared. I tried various keys in combination with the tool tip as it is often used in that contexts. But I couldn't find anything that implied either Move or Size were doing…
BUG: Outdated discussion group title and documentation

Footnotes not appearing at end of page
After receiving the latest update my footnotes do not appear at the end of the page in Microsoft Word when coping from Logos. It simply appears under the text. The following is an example: The title of this psalm reads, “A Psalm of praise.” Rotherham renders that, “Psalm—For a Thank-offering (or for Thanksgiving).” It was…

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.
