Grammar section in exegetical guide doesn't work

I have a number of discourse, grammatical, and syntax resources that I can't use in my exegetical guide. Under the section "grammar" there is nothing but a learn more tab and video. I click on the learn more tab and it looks like there should be a number of categories of investigation like "discourse" "etymology" "exegesis" etc. But I can't use any of that. Any reason why this category in the exegetical guide is inoperable?

Thanks!

    Can you give me an example of a grammar that has a reference to the passage that the Guide is run on that does not show in the Grammar section? Note the grammar needs to be on the device I believe.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Do you have a Logos Pro subscription (required for the Grammar section to work) - or did you purchase this functionality with a previous Logos base package purchase?

    Graham, I was concerned that I needed a subscription. I have owned a license to Logos for years now, which I believe is the platinum. But I'm trying to get better with utilizing the grammatical and syntactical features in Logos and thought the grammar section in the exegetical guide would be helpful.

    Do you know if I will lose all my licensing if I add a Logos subscription?

    Both MJ and Graham are correct.

    The Grammars section requires that you have downloaded at least one resource of type Grammar and also that you have the Grammar Cross References Dataset.

    You won't lose any licensing you already own. The subscription adds to it. Go for it!

    Thanks, guys! I've decided to go with the Max subscription on a 30-day trial.

    Now I can see the section that has grammars under "exegetical guide" and it shows some of my grammars. But it doesn't show all of them.

    The primary grammar I'm wanting to utilize is this one I recently purchased called "an intermediate greek grammar" that was not too long ago published by Baker Academic. I'd love to find a quick way to search this resource without having to go identify a grammatical morpheme or syntactical relationship, open up the grammar, go find the page that it talks about it, and read the section. Does anyone know how to get the most out of this resource in Logos?

    Thanks!

    Grammars Section

    Lists articles from Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic grammars that mention the guide’s key reference. Results are sorted into subjects based on a computer analysis of the material surrounding the reference:

    Verbum Help (Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2024).

    Can you provide an example where the grammar mentions the reference but is not included in the section? We need an example to troubleshoot.

    I hope this example helps.

    When I try to do a search on a verse in the exegetical guide, the only grammars that are searched are these (see below in attachment). It won't search by new intermediate grammar.

    You need to give me an example that has Gal 1:20 in the grammar book but that book doesn't appear in the Grammar section. If the text doesnt have Gal 1:20 the book will not show.

    @Matt Harkey You can create a collection of your favorite grammars and then include that collection in your Exegetical Guide. I do this with theological journals because I find the curated "Jounals" to be missing many resources. If you need assistance on creating a collection or adding it to a Guide let me know.
