Will logos tell me how old a person is at a specific point?
Example: How old was Jesus in Luke 2:28 (Between 8 days [Lk2:21] and 12 years old [Lk2:41])

Will logos tell me where is at a specific point?
Example: Luke 2:8 Says, "In the same region..." Can I click something and see the location of whatever region is being mentioned?

I have answers to both of these questions but am wondering if there is a quick click of two to get the answers. Thank you in advance.

    Maybe, and maybe.

    If tagging's been done, you might luck out on mention of an age (eg John and over 50). In between verses, no.

    Location, yes, if tagged and if known; Factbook would lay it out for you. In-between, the Atlas guesses the routing, or general location.

    Logos does offer a nice selection of books discussing location guesses, thru the centuries. Just today, an excellent one appeared in my Cyber Sale purchase. Happy.

    No. Consult commentaries if you want an opinion in terms of the context.

    A right-click of the word/phrase might give you (on the left side) a place name. Otherwise, select an Event and go to Factbook e.g. select "Birth of Jesus" at Lk 2:8, and Factbook will show the Setting to be Bethlehem of Judah.
