Morph Query Builder suggestions
After playing briefly with the Morph Query Builder, I have a few observations/suggestions: 1. The language should default to the language of the resource. If SBLGNT is selected, you should not have to select Greek for every search term. 2. It does not appear to allow transliterated entry of Greek/Hebrew the Lemma and Root,…
BUG: Sermon Editor - word breaks in descriptions
I don't think this was happening before 7.1 (I don't remember seeing it), but parts of words are being orphaned (is that the right term?!) in Description and Private Notes:
BUG: Sermon Editor - Shft+Ctl+Up selects extra text
The keyboard shortcut Shift+Control+Up Arrow to select a paragraph or portion of text on a single line sometimes also selects a portion of text from the previous paragraph. It's also inconsistent. Sometimes it functions as it should, sometimes it does the above. It might be every other paragraph but I can't be sure. It…
Bug: Logos 4 API exception accesing LogosPanel.Details
Hi, Something for the Logos Developers please. Context https://wiki.logos.com/Logos_4_COM_API Firstly, I'm pleased that the Logos 4 COM API is still in the product, and was not silently dropped, in case I'm one of the last three people still using it or something ... My PC: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, Anniversary Update,…
Disappearing Lemma
I noticed today that I'm loosing data in my morph query when I run the query. Here is the query before it runs: Once I run the query, I loose the value in the word 2 lemma field: Anyone else seeing this?

Suggestions for Text Comparison Interlinear
1) Repeat list of comparison translations for every set of comparison lines 2) Option for verse(s) to follow one another (instead of emulating NASB95 verse formatting with verse number always at line beginning) 3) Option to hide/show chapter and verse numbers. 4) Logos Now integration with Discourse Datasets so Sentence…
Request: Allow log files to be stored outside My Documents
I have logging turned permanently on, so I can help Faithlife diagnose issues. But there's a problem. The log files are always placed in the My Documents folder. Like an increasing number of people, I store my documents in the Cloud, which means that my logos.log file is constantly being uploaded to DropBox. (When I used…
Suggestion: Add pericopes to the command box or reference box
I frequently need to open the Bible to passages that I can't remember. Just now it was the parable of the persistent widow. I can't be the only one who doesn't remember that's Luke 18:1-8. On the home page (which I never use), I can type in a pericope name into the Go Box, and have a passage suggested. That's really…
7.1 beta 4: Bug: Lexham Textual Notes wrongly triggers "Emphasise Active Lemma" visual filter
The Lexham Textual Notes on the Bible wrongly triggers the "Emphasise Active Lemma" visual filter. To reproduce: * Close all resources. * Open a Bible to an NT passage (e.g. Luke 23), and ensure that "Emphasise Active Lemma" is turned on. * Open The Lexham Textual Notes on the Bible to Luke 5:33. Result: * Many words are…
Methinks something is missing in Help Documentation
Obviously the empty rectangle carries much more meaning than I realize. Or maybe it shouldn't be there and a bit more content should be?
BUG: Courses tool shows wrong next
For some time, the Courses tool has show Imperatival Participles as the next lesson. However, the next lesson is actually much further down the course
Missing templates
Two things - (1) as you can see below, some syntax search resources lack templates and (2) will there be templates for the Morph Query?

Reordering Elements in a Morph Query
It would be helpful if the Morph Quesry interface allowed the quick reordering of elements. For example, I was working with a clause in Mark 14:22 today (οῦτό °ἐστιν τὸ σῶμά μου) and wanted to explore how often the demonstrative was post verbal in the NT. I began by building a query that expressed Mark 14:22 (demonstraive…
Crash when reviewing search results
A crash so sudden I'm not exactly sure what I was doing while reviewing results of a search of Logos training materials. 2248.Verbum Log Files 9_23.zip
7.1 beta 4: Crash when doing print/export and inline search
Under certain circumstances, Logos will crash when doing print/export from an inline search. When the crash occurs, "Selected text" is chosen, and the preview will display "Print/Export only". When you click copy to clipboard, Logos will crash. I can't reproduce this consistently, but it happened twice in quick succession.…
Error either BUG in Concordance or Error in tagging of Faithlife Study Bible
One love does not get folded into the main love grouping.

Again in the Faithlife Study Bible ... why is Aphrodite highlighted in a search for the simple word "Love"
Minor issues with Speaking to God interactive/dataset
1. I find it counter-intuitive / misleading to have quotations of previous acts of speaking to God coded as if they were in their original context. I understand why this approach was taken, but wonder if an additional type of speech (e.g. referenced or quoted) that distinguished this from an actual speech act might solve…

Why does some tagging information appear in NIV84 OT?
As the NIV (84) does not have an OT RI I was surprised to see some level of tagging on OT Text - including Person tagging Searches based on these tags don't return results in the OT Is it correct that these tags are exposed in this way?
CRASH: Logos running in the background

Sermon Editor - oddity in functionality with drag and drop vs Copy and Paste

Journals "no longer in library" sort of
I don't know if this is anything to do with the beta but I just discovered that Logos has somehow indexed the newer Logos journals (I guess) and these resources are no longer in my library somehow so when I search for something that is in e.g. JETS/BibSac I can sometimes get the result as the article title links to the…
Morph Query Question
I'm working in Mark 2:11 where there are a sting of three imperatives Jesus gives to the paralytic after healing. The aspect changes from Present to Aorist and back to Present in the imperative string. If I build a morph query looking for three imperatives verbs in a single verse that agree in Person and Tense, there are…
Undesirable Questions

Still possible to do "reference on first slide only" in sermon editor?
I noticed I could do this in the stable version, but I seem to have lost the option on the beta version (7.1 Beta 4). Is it certain media images that make this possible or not?
Bug: Clause search autocomplete sometimes misses suggestions
When using the Clause Search, the auto-completer doesn't give a suggestion if the sense doesn't have a lemma in the appropriate language. This matters when a sense without a lemma has children with lemmas. The Clause Search will work (it returns the hits on the children), but the sense will never have been suggested. I…
Beta version seems to be stuck on "installing application update"

Can Bible references in Sermon Documents when in "All" view by hyperlinked?

BUG:Logos ignores secondary display on startup

Morph Grid Suggestion
I'm really impressed at what can be done using the Morph Grid tool!

I'm forever tweeking the paramaters of a search and can end up with way too many search windows /…

Attn: Sean Boisen re: community tagging
I see that at least two resources I had added community tags to (and pestered you with LCV inconsistencies and missing data) have now been tagged officially - thank you and bravo. However, I would find it very helpful if when the official tag was added, identical community tags were removed ... I don't need things…

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.
