It's getting late in the year, and time to clean out the sewing room.

I'm a 'newbie' compared to others on the forum; I 'joined' in 2006. And in so doing I printed out some of the blogs which went into depth on using Libronix. Yesterday I was re-reading those blogs and they're quite good. Dr Heiser and others were almost writing a 'book' on hebrew and greek, while using Libronix.

Now, it's five years later and so much more has appeared from these gentlemen. I use their resources literally daily and I find that very surprising. Sometimes I'm buried in canaanite 'stuff' and see Dr Heiser's interlinear and wonder 'why go to so much trouble?' But he did and does. I'm very thankful.

There's Steve's work with discourse greek and 'high definition!'. But rather than just produce the essential resources, he keeps going with commentaries, trying again help out. Why go to so much trouble? But he does.

Then there's Rick Brannon. I love his enthusiasm and enjoy his new Apostolic Fathers interlinear. Obviously that enthusiasm couldn't survive without good leadership, and so of course Bob must be doing 'something or other'!

And finally, there's those two 'mystery' positions on Logos' hiring page. The job descriptions are SO enticing. There must be something even more amazing coming down the pike.

So, again, thank you very much!

    ??? What mystery positions ???

    Excellent question!

    I think it was a forum page reference that included 2 software quality people. Then below that were the 2 positions I mentioned. The two descriptions could easily describe the two present positions (replace). But the way they were worded suggested a project(s) a major step beyond today's type of hebrew/greek resources. Sort of a 'game changer', if you will.

    Looking at the careers page on Logos.com, they all look pretty 'normal'.

    Why don't you apply, Denise?  You could be in charge of de-interlinearization of resources.  [:D]

    Bob would probably use me as a class room exercise for his new workbook to go along with 'Fire Someone Today' (which by the way can be read in Logos4!).

    Besides, all these 'thanks' were for what for the most part are interlinears, interpreted/displayed in several ways along with videos.

    I was hoping you might be in  a post-Thanksgiving slumber and not notice this thread. [*-)]

    With me all they would need to do is to look at the return address then chuck it in File 13.  [A]

    Denise, I could only find a paperbook on Logos.com. Could you supply a link? I would really love to read this book in Logos. Thank you in advance

    Good catch, Vladimir! You're right. I didn't scroll down.  I'm disappointed too; it would have made a great Bible study resource at church!

    I would suggest you view all, set the #/pg to 60 and view by title.  that way you can go through the pages until you reach the section listing what you seek (p 19).  Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a way to search the site and the Google Advanced Search using the domain doesn't seem to work (I tried a title I had right in front of my nose).
