    Week 12 on "Jesus in Jerusalem". We are done with all the major functions of Logos, so this week I am mostly teaching you some interesting facts about this week's passages in Luke - using Logos of course.

    - Monday: Why was the temple selling so bad? (See a Logos graphical illustration of the 2nd temple)
    - Tuesday: Where Jesus originally got the parable about the vineyard from
    - Wednesday: A very cool story about Rabbi Hillel (hidden in a great Logos book by Flusser) that completely changes your view of "render to Caesar and render to God"

    Reimar,

    Thank you so much for your time and expertise in teaching some of us neophytes some of the ways that using Logos can enhance our study of the SS lesson. As I am following along I noticed that this week I did not get the same result when I used Factbook to search for Court of the Gentiles. For some reason I did not get any media results?  Is there a way to toggle on or off the search parameters? I could not find one. I noticed that your search came up with a map of the temple in the Deluxe Map Set but my search did not. Any ideas? Again I have really enjoyed your thoughts and suggestions regarding the use of Logos, especially for Sabbath School. I use it to help facilitate discussions in a SS class that is currently going through the book of Hebrews. I am in the similar category as Mr. Sneed in regard to my understanding of Greek and Hebrew. The tools with Logos though are very helpful. Thanks again for your thoughtfulness and kindness in providing these tutorials!!!

    Hi Alan

    Is there a way to toggle on or off the search parameters? I could not find one.

    Not to toggle off the search but you can control whether or not the section is displayed. In the screenshot below I have "closed" two section (the "base" of the triangle at the head of the section is to the left") and "opened" a third (the base of the triangle is at the top)

    Do you have the "Media" section closed?

    Can you post a screenshot?

    Thanks, Graham! Alan, also remember to be online, since Logos is searching images on its server.

    Thank you so much for your timely and kind replies! I am familiar with the toggling of the arrows, but , as you will see media is not even displayed? Its as if it did not even search for media... Yes, I was and am online each time. Here is the screenshot

    I will try it again and see if I get the same result... still comes up the same.

    However, I do not have the Tyndale bible dictionary.

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks for your help and interest!

    Hi Alan

    Thanks for the screenshot

    It shows that you are also missing the "Library Results" section (when compared with my screenshot above)

    Exactly which version of Logos SW are you running and on which platform?

    You should have a Library result section with at least the Baker Encyclopedia of the Bible showing. Could you run the Topic Guide suggested in "See also" and check to see if it's Media Resources section has contents? If it does, I would suspect that your installation is corrupted.

    Thanks for sharing your wisdom, MJ. The mutual support among participants in this forum is fabulous.

    I think that I am running the latest version.  I have a Macbook Pro. Here is a screenshot of the Tech Support Info

    I do wonder if it has been corrupted as MJ has suggested as a possibility. I did the topic search and got no results except for two related verses. I will also post that screenshot as well below.

    I really appreciate you each, Graham and MJ for giving input.  Any other ideas?

    I also wonder if Logos Cloud has interacted to change anything? Thanks for your ideas! I really appreciate your help.

    Seriously doubt it.

    Any interaction with the Cloud should result in more results not less. Let's try one more thing before reloading the app - could you run Facebook on the topic Jerusalem Temple? It should have plenty of results. If it doesn't have the expected section, we'll reload the app.

    While Alan gets his Factbook images sorted out, here is Week 13 on the trial and death of Jesus.

    I will show you how to use Logos to learn about
    - The political situation at the time of Jesus' trial (High Priest, Sanhedrin, Herod Antipas, Pilate...)
    - The geography of Jerusalem (where was Jesus shuffled back and forth)

    This concludes my series of videos. Thanks everyone who followed the series. May God bless you in your weekly study and teaching of the Word of God.

    Thanks MJ! Here is my Factbook on Jerusalem temple. I find it interesting that there is no "place" only "topic" listed for these locations. Here is a screenshot of my search.

    Should I have gotten more? Thanks for your help

    Okay, we've shown that your application is working correctly for other entries. It may be that you don't have any resources to appear in the "missing sections" although we seem to be missing one entry that we know you have. If you don't find other entries with obviously omissions, I would simply ignore the problem assuming it is very isolated. If you want to do something, I'd start a Rebuild index in the Command box.

    Thanks for the suggestion will see how it works!

    I really appreciate the help.

    MJ,

    I did the rebuild and that seems to have significantly helped the issue! I have more entries for the Jerusalem temple and have 17 results in 17 articles under library results where before I only had 3! I also have the media section with three images and 11 results in 11 articles in 3 resources in Library results on the search "Court of the Gentiles" I think that this has fixed the problem! Thank you so much for your help and patience! sorry to be a bother!

    Sincerely

    Alan
