Problem with Beta Version 6.10.0.0017
I downloaded 6.10.0.0017 last night. I have a Mac Pro (desktop). In NASB or ESV when I try to hover over the Loew-Nida or Strong numbers, a hand will appear but no information. Even when I left-click, nothing happens (it does not pull up in a separate window). I waited until the program had completely indexed so that is…
Extra clicking required for "tab key" shortcut required
It used to be that when a tab (of a resource) was selected, pressing the "tab key" automatically selected the reference field (for typing the verse, etc.). However for the past several beta versions, you not only have to select the resource tab, but also click somewhere on the resource in order for the "tab key" to work.…

One of the Visual Copy slides is showing the wrong template in 4:3 mode. It's fine in 16:9 and 1:1.
Beta 3: problem compiling books
Before investigating if its a problem with my configuration here, can anyone on Mac Beta 3 test this: Open Personal Books Add a title etc 1. Does the program crash when you add a cover? 2. When you do not add a cover, does the program also crash when compiling the book? Thanks! Hans

6.10 beta 2: Journals (and Sermons) in Factbook: Issues
Thanks for adding Journals to the Factbook. I've noticed three issues: * I notice that the Topic Guide and the Factbook generate their results in different ways. I prefer the Factbook layout, but like the Topic Guide options. Shouldn't they be consistent? * In addition, I dislike the "More" button in both places. I'm not…
Miracles of the Bible Interactive filter panel obscures text
If I have the Miracles of the Bible Interactive open and then open the filter panel - the text is obscured
BUG: Wonky formatting in Interesting Words
There are additional spaces after semicolons, around highlighted text etc. making this look jarringly out of step with the rest of the application.
BUG: Bible Outline Browser fails to display last two outlines
Using Romans in example but there is data for the blank columns
BUG: commentary opens to wrong location
I ran a standard Passage Guide, opened the Commentaries (all) section and selected A Catholic Commentary on the Holy Scripture. It opens to Sirach 1:2 rather than Sir 1:1 regardless of how I try to insure no previous action can affect it. What it does: What it should do:
Text Comparison Tool does not respect Bible prioritization when using collections. WIN 6.10 Beta 4 (

Scrolling Inline Search Results
Scrolling inline search results in LEB is extremely slow. Anyone else notice this? MacBook Pro 10.11.4
BUG: Text Converter Hebrew citation
In all Greek formats, the Text Converted correctly handles the citation that is automatically pasted in when you copy from Logos. In Hebrew, only the last two formats treat the citation correctly. All other forms are keen on using superscripts for the first character of each word.
BUG: Missing data in Interactive Weights & Measures Converter
Under Money the lepta lacks Euro and dollar equivalents

To reproduce: * Select some text in a resource, right-click, and choose "Visual Copy". * Note that the "Body Text" and "Author" fields are filled appropriately. * Click "Change" at the top of the templates, so we can narrow down the templates to something more appropriate. * Note that the "Body Text" and "Author" fields…

BUG: Layout and layout name don't match when launching Logos after a crash. WIN 6.10 Beta 3 (6.1
After Logos crashes, and you restart the application, the layout name at the top of the window indicates the name of the layout you were using when it crashed (probably more accurately, last saved), but the layout is not the same and does not go with the layout name. I realize that Logos does not have time to save anything…
Pasting Bible text from Text Comparison does not retain hyperlinks. WIN 6.10 Beta 4 (6.10.0.0018)
Replication: Open Text Comparison tool to John 1:19-22 with a Bible that is NOT the Prefered Bible. (Prefered Bible is NASB, used ESV for this demo.) Notice that hyperlinks are active on the translation abbreviation and all verse indicators, all of which reference the translation selected (ESV). Open a new Note file and…
BUG: Before and after history fails to show detail
While it is entertaining to have all history items show the same title but link to separate locations, the entertainment value does not outweigh the usefulness of history items detailing history so one can select the appropriate item. 1. Open Before and After Interactive 2. Open images and return to main menu several times…

1. Open the interactive Ancient Inscriptions 2. Select the Merneptah Stele 3. Click on the date 1208 BC hoping to open the timeline. 4. Inscription window closes 5.

Feedback on new Morph search
Thanks for allowing us to mix and match morph databases. Very helpful. I ran a few test searches yesterday with mixed results. My main confusion had to do with the fact that when I press Tab to close the search drop down, the search string is not expanded to the full version, even when it should be. This leads to searches…
BUG: meaningless options on Days of Creation interactive
Again we have a history arrow head that captures no history ... Note that the forward back arrow heads remain grayed out throughout. I don't know if that is the intended behavior.
Bug:Concordance tool is taking a long time to switch Bible versions
1. Choose the concordance tool. 2. Change the version using the box by typing in the abbreviation of a Bible. eg. NKJV 3. After the first letter is typed, it takes a very long time before the other letters show up enabling the concordance to start working. 7077.Logos.log
Bug: hanging when offline
Running L6.10b1 on Mac OS X 10.11.2 When I first installed the update the application kept on hanging and needing to be force quit. I got samplings of logs for a couple of those times... Eventually that cleared up to where it seemed workable, but now whenever I work offline the "preparing library" indicator remains…
6.10 beta 3: Visual copy images have the wrong dpi
I've noticed that visual copy images are being output at 1dpi, instead of a more sensible figure such as 72dpi or 200dpi. This means that when you insert them (e.g. into an email), the application thinks that they're much bigger than they should be. At 1dpi, a 1024x768 image is 1024 inches wide, which is 28 yards! I…
Beta 3: Usability Issues for new Morph Search
There are still some serious usability issues to be addressed:- 1. When using mixed morphology a meaninful operator should be inserted e,g, <LogosMorphHeb ~ N?????> @N ---> <LogosMorphHeb ~ N?????> <WIVUMorphHeb ~ N????> ==> zero results! Insert OR when converting the second term. 2. After converting @Morph to <Morph> all…

BUG: BWS/Morph chart disconnect
It appears that the morph chart omits the Greek of the deuterocanonicals.
BUG: BWS senses section does not balance with translation section
Moving the bug from another thread: The BWS translation section includes the entire NRSV text including the deuterocanonicals. However, the senses section appears to be limited to the NT despite the existence of a full interlinear/reverse interlinear.
BUG: Fatal Mono Error in 6.10 Beta 2
Still the same error as reported here: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/122611.aspx Here's the essential part of my indexer.log: 02/08/2016 22:27:37 | INFO | 24 | MacIndexerProgress | 1,165 of 21,569 resources indexed; current phase progress is 3.3% 02/08/2016 22:27:38 | INFO | 26 | LibraryIndex | (446ms) Indexing…
BUG: Fatal Mono error in 6.10 Beta 1

The key error seems to be [quote] Got a SIGABRT while executing native code. This…
Long-standing Bug: Line spacing issues
Is there any chance line spacing can be fixed? Hebrew text (including transliteration) throws it off, and I find it very distracting. In the example above, three of the four transliterated texts mess up the line spacing. Is it the characters ʿ and ʾ that are doing so?
Bug: Beta 3 Crashes trying to open custom reading plan
After a crash, did a cold boot. Restarted the app, tried to open the Bible from the home page, before it had finished populating and the app crashes. Can anyone duplicate this? 0407.Crash.zip
Suggestion for Lexicon and Bible Linksets - Add Series support
I have the BDB and BDAG in the same custom series. If I set the "Send hyperlinks here option" to either of those, they act like a single large Lexicon that switches between Hebrew and Greek when I double click on a word in either of those languages. I would like that feature in the Lexicon and Bible linkset feature as…
BUG MAC Indexing
Logos symbol in MAC Bar at top of screen showing a correct percentage, and at time of post has now disappeared after completing. Blue circle with a 1 in it next to layouts drop down showing 0%. Latest Beta 6.10 b1

Please allow me to go directly to the Louw-Nida Lexical Entry not the Index
Please allow me to go directly to the Louw-Nida Lexical Entry not the Index. When using Parallel Resources for my lexicons and the new one click option when clicking on the word for flesh in Hebrews 5:7 all my other resources go to the lexical entry except Louw-Nida which go to the index.

Easter Sermon Ideas: 40 Passages for Proclaiming the Resurrection
Many have called Easter the Super Bowl Sunday for pastors. It’s the biggest Sunday of the year for churches, with attendance numbers often at their highest. Pastors want to bring their A-game every Sunday—but especially on Easter. Each year, we proclaim the same message: Jesus’s resurrection. But how do we preach the same message year after year without preaching the same sermon year after year?
What is Penal Substitution? A Just and Justifying Atonement
Importantly, penal substitution is not to be understood as the only aspect of Christ’s work, just as guilt is not the only aspect of our human plight. Jesus came to destroy death, the devil, sin, and human corruption; to give life to the dead, to judge the world in righteousness, and to establish his everlasting kingdom of righteousness and peace. Yet none of these other important facets of Christ’s work are possible unless he takes our place of judgment. In this article, we'll suggest some ways the Bible testifies to, supports, and clarifies the doctrine of penal substitution.
What Are the Main Presbyterian & Reformed Denominations?
You’ve been studying your Bible. Perhaps you’ve listened to popular Calvinist teachers and preachers. You’ve become convinced that a Calvinistic soteriology, sometimes called the doctrines of grace, faithfully expresses what Scripture teaches. God elects from all eternity and gives faith by his Holy Spirit, enabling us to believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Now what? Where can you find like-minded believers who understand the gospel in the same way?
What Is Hermeneutics? | Kevin Vanhoozer
This episode unsurfaces the question that quietly shapes every act of Bible reading: What does it mean to understand Scripture well? Aiming to demystify the discipline, Kevin Vanhoozer explores what hermeneutics is, what theological and metaphysical precommitments ought to inform our approach to Scripture, and why it matters for our Christian reading cultures, the local church.
