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.
I have a PDF that I would like to import, but I am kind of unclear how to do that. I watched a random video and he seemed to be saying that PDFs need to be changed to docx files first and then just uploaded as a PB? Is this correct? Is there a more practical way to do this? Thanks.
For some reason when I hover my cursor over a word in my Bible the word is highlighted along with every other occurrence of that word in the window. (see picture) I don't know what I did to make that happen or how to stop it. Suggestions????
I was surprised to observe that inline interlinear capability does not appear to be offered with the Luther Bible RI. Very disappointed. If this can be addressed or explained I would appreciate it.
I’m trying to find the reformat option for BDAG. The videos I have seen show it under the formatting ribbon at the top of BDAG, but when I check my Mac I see the formatting ribbon, but the reformat option does not exist. If this option is available on either the Mac or the iPad, I would appreciate anyone who can tell me…
..?
