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.

Hi. I am working on learning biblical Hebrew and biblical Greek. As part of this, I use a lemma search function as I learn new words in order to read through multiple occurrences and do review in the following days. An example from the Septuagint looks like this: "lemma.g:δαλός OR lemma.g:κάμπη OR lemma.g:ξυστός OR…
Currently the The Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament and New Testament Collection (TDOT/TDNT) is on sale at a 60% discount. I have all the volumes except Volume 8 (The Index) so the price is good. I can't see any value of having the Index in Logos, because searching is easy without it, but I'm asking the question…
Hi. I recently watched a video where Mark Ward demonstrated how he used Raycast as a "controller" for launching various Logos resources or tools. I am a Windows guy so Raycast isn't a possibility for me. I asked my friend Chat, and was pointed to Microsoft Power Toys as a Raycast alternative for interfacing with Logos. I…
Our church recently voted to purchase Logos for Church. We have a modest church library, but the pastor has a more substantial print library. The pastor has entered his library into his copy of Logos via the print library feature. Is it possible to share this print library with the rest of the users in Logos for Church?
The emails I get for new forum messages often have no content except the poster's subject. This seems to be a new phenomenon. Is this intentional? And while we're talking about the forum, to post a message requires me to choose certain things, such as platform, that do not apply.
