Behind the scene letters/documents

Jeff Zadow

How do I access behind the scenes works like the "devotionals", "Pauline letters" , etc without going to the commentary at bottom of page and randomly hunting?

Yes, welcome! [:)]

It might also help to know which app on which device.

Hi

Using Faithlife Study Bible on iPad/iPhone I come across many helpful links in the commentary section;

Example would be while in Mat 4 -5 in the commentary section , a tablet icon labeled " The Temptations of Christ" appears .

Is there a way to access these links without being in the bible text at the icons specific location. I would like to browse and study some/all of these wonderful commentaries.

Thanks for your time.

Jeff

Hi Jeff! I think I understand better now. 

First, you should know that Logos "bread and butter" is a desktop application (currently "L5"). The software is designed to do many things, but its primary function is maintaining and organizing a digital library, and providing links between resources to expedite study. The Faithlife Study Bible is a new venture, aimed at a new market. The links are to various resources, some of which are free, some of which come in "base packages," and some of which require a separate purchase all together. 

If you own a resource, you should be able to view it in your library. Do you know how to access your library on the mobile app? The easiest way is to go to the homepage, where the library view is larger. It can also be viewed in the sidebar menu by scrolling through the options. If you don't own a license to a resource, you will need to purchase it. Does that make sense? Did I answer your question?

I think I misunderstood which "tablet" icon you were touching. You are talking about the ones like in Matthew 4:1, "The Temptations of Christ," right? When you click on that, there is a pop up box, with an article that you can scroll through. If that is what you are talking about, I don't think there is any way to read from one article to another. Think of those articles as "call outs" in a book or magazine... A "side article" within the "main article." The Faithlife Study Bible provides a running commentary of the text, with excursion articles that explain more in a broad sense. In some Study Bibles, those articles would be placed in the back of the book with a note: "see The Temptations of Christ, page 1534." In other Study Bibles the article is placed inline with the commentary, perhaps with a darker background to help you distinguish the commentary from the articles. The FSB is designed more like the later.
