Hi everyone, just wanted to let you know about a week ago I sent off the finished Advanced Academic Training Videos.  So, hopefully they'll be available for download soon. 

These were supposed to be 3 hours of videos, but I found it was simply impossible to do justice to using Verbum or Logos for academic use in 3 hours... so they are actually 4 hours, 30 minutes of training. 

These are advanced videos, meant to help train people to use the software for academic purposes. They cover how to use the software for exegesis, theology, reception history, study of the Church Fathers, textual criticism, etc. They are based on the techniques Fr Andrew and I found most useful as we ourselves did our Scripture studies using Verbum and Logos. 

Here is the final table of contents, which can give you a pretty good idea of what these videos cover:
