English Lexicons in Logos 4: How to bring them up

Catherine King

I was mistified when my Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary was no longer coming up in the Exegetical Guide to Logos 4.  The new platform is even easier and I hope this helps other users:

Right click on the word from the preferred Bible (either in the text or in the box of Lemmas, etc) and a menu will come up with the English lexicons named at the bottom for the particular word.  If the word is "heaven" then the Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary will be among those named, if you have that in your library.  It is a wonderful resource and sold in the products section of Logos.

I also just found out that my favorite English Dictionary: Noah Webster 1828 is sold in the Logos products listed under:  The Christian History Library.  The KJV becomes so much clearer when used in conjuction with the original Webster's 1828.

There was a previous feed on this topic that got moved by Gerda Pesswir to a site that sells the Anchor Bible.  I am mistified by that too.  Hope this helps someone else today.

Blessings to all and especially to all those who are helping answer questions about Logos 4.  The program has a learning curve but it is AWESOME.

Hi Catherine, I'm not sure about Logos' default prioritization for ABD but I find it best to make sure that important resource categories are Prioritized eg. I specify 5 English bibles + 5 English dictionaries (whether bible oriented or pure English language) +  5 Greek bibles + 5 Greek lexicons, etc. The right click context menu specifies 1 to 5 resources on each data tab (lemma, reference, selection) so it always best to list at least 5 of your own!

So you put ABD as #1 English dictionary to be sure it will be chosen when it has a definition. Webster 1828 might be #2. Then you double-click English words!
