I am trying to use the historical context feature, but it tells me I don't have a license for that. I have the Max plan, so I don't what else I can buy.
Any help would be appreciated.

DAL, as in they are both in the Tools menu
sorry but I don't know what you mean by "historical context" - can you provide a screen shot?
If you are attempting to use Green, Joel B., and Lee Martin McDonald, eds. The World of the New Testament: Cultural, Social, and Historical Contexts. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic, 2013. That is a resource, not a feature. You'll need to purchase the resource.
M. J. Smith, what I am looking for is the historical context of books of the Bible and passages. I saw a video on it in the Logos tutorials, but now I can't find it again. I don't have a screenshot, sorry
Jack Caviness, Thanks, Do you find that a good resource? I am new to Logos, and so far I am finding it much easier than the old school method of looking at the books in my library
I haven't the slightest idea of what the Logos tutorials would label this way. I would go to the Help Center (the question mark on the tool bar), enter "historical context", and see if the videos returned get you back on track. Others may have better ideas.
Thanks M. J. I will try that
Maybe the Factbook feature? It gives you some historical context of the books of the Bible. There’s also the Bible Panorama feature (I think that’s what it’s called).
DAL, Thanks, the tutorial said it was in Bible Books Explorer, which is where factbook is. I will try that
Yes! Bible Books Explorer 👍
In case this helps, what I mean by historical context is,
where and when do the passage refer to?
who were the first readers?
what was their situation?
what else was going on in the world of the author?
what else was going on in the world of the text/passage/book?
I likely acquired it through a package deal, and I have not read it.
I am glad you found it. Now I understand what you meant, why I didn't interpret it correctly, and what tools you actually needed. Maybe next time, I'll do better.

What happened to my notebook where all my 35 years of verse notes were? I had a Notebook called "My Verse Notes" and now it has vanished. And so has the WordSearch notes Notebook that was migrated over from WordSearch. I went and opened up the Logos on my Tablet and initially the notes were displayed and suddenly they…
Hi all, even though I am subscribed for Logos emails, I have not received any promotional emails lately. Please could anyone let me know when they receive the coupon (I think it's expected tomorrow)… Thanks…
If I want to just use a sentence of someone's reply as a quote, attributed to them, in my reply, how is that done? I can get the entire reply in a quote box, but the cursor is always a 'hand' and won't let me highlight anything once it has embedded the entirereply in a quote box . Highlighting the sentence I want in…
I’ve started to add my whole print library to Logos and so I’m wondering how you all use this feature and any tips on getting the most out of it, searching etc.
This morning I began preparation for a new small group study on the Sermon on the Mount. My first step as always with Logos was to sort through my resources. My goal was to find Commentaries and especially Bible Studies specific to this topic I already have in my library. I started in Factbook and chose the event Sermon on…
