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 would have sworn that at one time I had insights and translations showed as 2 tabs in the same sidebar but now I cannot tab between them, if I open one it closes the other … which makes switching between them a multistep process. I, personally, consider this an unacceptable design/regression but don't know how others…
I have some highlights in my Bible that appear on my desktop app (MacOS) but not my mobile app that refuse to erase no matter what I do. I’ve tried everything I know. Anybody else have this problem and know how to help? I feel like I got a little too highlighter happy at first and now in some places it’s distracting but I…
Is it possible to change the default note anchor to a basic bible reference? When I currently make a new note, it defaults it to the Bible translation(NASB) instead of just the passage that could be seen in any translation.
Wanting the full text to show in my notes of my scripture anchors. To me there’s isn’t any rhyme or reason as to when it shows full text vs just the reference. I have tried every which way but sideways and can’t for the life of me find a way for the full text to show consistently. I select/highlight exactly the same way…
Dear Folk, I there a way to make a bibliographic reference in a Clippings file into an active link if it is a Logos Resource? Thanks, Mike
