How do I find the who/where/when, etc.?

Manuel Mena

Could someone guide me as to how I find who wrote a book of the Bible, when it was written, to whom it was written, where, etc.? Or at least tell me which Logos library book contains such information.

I have the Scholar's Library for Mac (obviously, lol).

Thank you all so much! God bless!

Manny,

There are a number of places you could look:

You could look at the New Bible Commentary, which contains a section on authorship, date, and location of writing for each book.

If you have purchased individual commentaries, you could always look at a commentary for the specific book you're studying.

There are a number of Bible Introductions included with the Scholar's Library (based on the logos product page) that you could look at. You might try these. I don't personally vouch for their content (I've never used them), but they contain the type of information you're looking for.

Survey of Old Testament Introduction
Willmington's Bible Handbook
New Testament Introduction
You could also look up a book in a Bible dictionary. Scholar's Library comes with several:
Easton's Bible Dictionary
Tyndale Bible Dictionary
Harper's Bible Dictionary
New Bible Dictionary
 Hopefully that will get you started and give you some places to look!
