BUG - discriminatory to boot - Bible Outline Browser
The Bible Outline Section of the Passage Guide has data for the Deuterocanonical texts ... but the Bible Outline Browser Interactive accepts the input from its drop down menu for the deuterocanons and then just sits there ... not even spinning in thought. It is simply rudely ignoring me.
BUG: Synopsis of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles
Synopsis of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles Interactive does absolutely nothing when I enter a reference in the reference box ... selected from the drop down menu.

6.11 beta 3: Feedback on Progress Indicators on Courses Tool.
Thanks for the progress indicators in the courses tool. Personally, I'd find it more helpful if the part-read (hollow) indicators were replaced with mini pie-charts indicating the percentage similar to what we have in the library. This is particularly true for the larger circle at the top of the panel. Being able to mark…
Logos Not Opening on Mac 6.11.5 beta
I tried to open Logos (previous beta) and it would not load. I noticed that there was an updated beta so I downloaded the installer and copied the file from the DMG to Applications and replaced the installed version. I opened it up and it bounces in the dock forever and never really loads. After that the dock shortcut…

I had Logos 6 Beta open earlier and saw there was an update. When I quit, I cannot get the program to reopen at all. I have rebooted my Mac three times, to no avail. What is my next step? Robert Dean
BUG: Context menu semantic roles
Early in the reworking of the Context Menu the semantic roles appeared in the Context menu (right click) ... which makes sense both for visibility of the role and for a search of the lemma in that role. It disappeared leaving us in a hellacious mess trying to find the role and associated frame. Was this intentional or is…
Bible Word Study -- Same Link set click behavior
Latest Beta and have Logos Now and a MAC, when clicking on a word in NIV with link set set should the click behavior be such that when clicking on word in old testament (PS 19:1 heavens) should the Bible Word Study window go to the greek lemma? I have seen the hebrew lemma come up, but it quickly changes to the greek....…

BUG: 6.11 beta 4 Bible Outline Browser
On beta 4 when changing the resource font size to anything below default, the BOB becomes unusable.

Multiple reading plan markers in "Ancient Israel's history"
This was originally seen on my iPad and posted as an issue in the iPad forum - https://community.logos.com/forums/t/124635.aspx - but it transpires it appears on the desktop as well so I am reposting here. There is a standard marker at the start of a session but then additional markers on subsequent pages The reading plan…
Subject of the Hebrew verb "bara"
It is generally accepted that God is the only subject of the verb "bara" in the Old Testament but this doesn't seem to be matched with how it is tagged as below: Am I missing something or is there a tagging issue here? Thanks, Graham
Passage Guide/Exegetical Guide sections missing documentation in Logos 6 Help
It appears that the following sections are missing documentation as identified by the TOC. Note this is run against Verbum. There is still an outstanding bug that strips sections from Guides when synchronizing between Logos and Verbum.
Interactives lacking documentation in Logos 6 help
The items shown on the left appear to be undocumented.
BUG or intentional option on Biblical Theologies
There is a settings option on the Biblical Theologies section that appears to be a standard collection section setting option. Is this intentional? I note it is also true for Confessional Documents and Courses. The reason I ask is that the sections have special processing and there seems to be nothing that screens the…
Documentation bug: Logos 6 Help
The Help file fails to show liturgical date as something that can be entered in the Go box - it only refers to Passage and topic. I would also appreciate it is "topic" was clarified ... does it include preaching themes, cultural concepts ...
Understanding this search result?
See attached picture, I searched All Resources for "mass WITHIN 10 words Emmaus", yet it has highlighted "The City of Corinth" and "Israel and the Romans"; you can see other results properly highlight Emmaus and mass.

"Preparing Library ... " will not stop
For 3 days now, I have had the blue circle in the upper right that is "Preparing Library ..." It seems to have occurred after the end of the 30 day trial of Logos Cloud.

Result: * If you hover over the "-16", then you get…
BIG grammar ouch! benefactor vs. beneficiary

What’s the Purpose of Work? How Vocations Participate in God’s Mission
It’s Monday. You wake up to another week. Yesterday was Sunday, but you missed church again for a pressing work project.

How to Minister in a Disenchanted Age? 1 Peter and Re-Personalization
It is often assumed that Christianity grew and maturated in the ancient world because the gospel fit its sense of enchantment. So many have proposed that we need to re-enchant that which has been disenchanted. One aspect of enchantment evidently means rehabilitating ancient Christian practices—and the weirder it is, the more enchanting. While the weirdness of Christianity is unavoidable, this article wants to argue something more obvious and overlooked: Re-enchament abounds when Christians live out their ordinary lives in the midst of an unbelieving world.
What Does It Mean to Take God’s Name in Vain? | Carmen Joy Imes on Exodus 20:7
What does it really mean to take God’s name in vain? Is it just about using God’s name irreverently, or is there more to it? In this episode of What in the Word?, Kirk E. Miller is joined by Carmen Joy Imes, an expert in Old Testament studies, to explore one of the most commonly misunderstood commandments.
Meet Jesus’s Other Father: The Overlooked Legacy of Joseph of Nazareth
Joseph of Nazareth, the adoptive father of Jesus, is neglected in theology and biblical studies and even in devotion. In Protestantism, he is seldom more than a Christmas decoration. In Catholicism, despite centuries of veneration of the Holy Family, he had no liturgical feast day of his own until 1481 (celebrated on March 19) and […]
