L/V 10 Tip of the Day #57 Parallel Passages
Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10 Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.
This tip is inspired the forum post: Chronological or - Logos Forums
See the bibliography at the end of this post for harmonies in my library, including links for shared file harmonies.
Ways to see parallel passages within Logos:
1. The Parallel Passages section of the Passage Guide will display any parallel resource with Bible references. From Verbum Help:
Parallel Passages SectionThis section lists passages that cover the same material as the guide key, such as narrations of the same event in the synoptic gospels. The results display the name of the resource, an article heading linking to the relevant section of the resource, and the verses it is parallel to. Most of the displayed results are hyperlinks to the releveant parts of the Library.
This section is available in the Passage Guide, Sermon Starter Guide, and Exegetical Guide.
Examples from Old and New Testament:
2. The Gospel parallels have their own interactive. In this case the user selects the gospel harmony resource that is used. From Verbum Help:
Parallel Gospel ReaderA parallel view of the synoptic gospels (plus sometimes John), based on the synopses and parallels within the user’s library. Users can display the Bible text in their preferred translation, reorder the entire synopsis to follow the order presented in a particular gospel, and choose which gospels are displayed.
3. The interactive New Testament Use of the Old Testament provides parallel passages for a very specific subset of parallel passages. From Verbum Help:
New Testament Use of the Old TestamentExplores how New Testament authors cite, quote, allude to, or echo Old Testament texts. It displays both Old Testament and New Testament passages in multiple versions for quick comparison—including the Hebrew or Greek Old Testament and the Greek New Testament.
Filter data by Type (Allusion, Citation, Echo, Quotation), Book, Addressee, Literary Types, and more. Sort the text on the right side by either the New Testament or the Source (Old Testament).
To learn more about the data and methodology used for this interactive, click About at the top of the panel.
For the first pericopes of Mark:
4. For Biblical events as defined by Faithlife, the Biblical Event Navigator shows all the references where the event is narrated (parallel passages) as well as references to the event. From Verbum Help:
Biblical Event NavigatorA collapsible tree view of biblical events (based on the Factbook narrative event hierarchy) that allows users to view the Bible’s large narrative arcs broken down into the smaller stories that comprise themand explore significant details of each event.
Users can navigate in two ways:
• Type the name of an event in the Find events box and click the relevant event in the sidebar on the left (or click the title of a bulleted event in the main panel). For example: type Life of Jesus, click an event in the sidebar, and click bulleted events until the desired event appears (if relevant).
• Expand the relevant sections of the tree to drill down to the desired event. For example: Life of Jesus > Passion week > Jesus’ resurrection > Jesus’ tomb is found empty > Women find the tomb emptyEvents will display significant features with hyperlinks to Factbook entries for some or all of the following:
• Participants links to the important individuals who took part in that event.
• Setting links to the event’s location.
• Important things links to significant impersonal things in the event.
• Topics and Themes links to important ideas addressed by the event.
• Defining Passages are the pericopes that tell of the event.
• Mentioned In are other pericopes that mention or allude to the event.
5. Finally, there is simply opening the resource itself. This is the only option for non-Biblical harmonies.
