Infographics: Your thoughts?

Mark A. Smith said:

Very nice. Of course, we'd all like many more. The graphics in the ESV study Bible are quite good. If they aren't going to be in that resource when produced, they'd be a nice addition.

 

I think they should be there. If I am not wrong Logos 4 has a feature to gather all our graphics and show them on one place. After ESV SB comes, we should be able to see them there.

My suggestion would be to have more libraries available for purchase,

Don't listen to him Bob...give um for free....[:D]

Well...that's what I was thinking....I didn't want to be too forward!

1 Tim. 5:18...Stink.

These are helpful. Work wonderfully with Office 2007.

In general:

I would love to see more chart for every major narrative section of the Old & New Testament.

In specific:

Need a Jewish calendar

Need a Jewish counting of the Day (helpful for the counting of Jesus' death to resurrection)

Different organization schemes of the Books of the Bible ( jewish, appocrhypha, etc..)

Feasts of Israel and connection to the NT (passover, etc.)

Cities of Refuge

Routes of the Exodus

Phophets/Judges locations aligned with the Kings location

Major Characters aligned with Prophets and Kings so you know who was in authority and was proclaiming God's Word

More Kingdoms of the Bible with Geography and timeline and major ruler, including Herod's family tree (see www.biblemaps.com)

Journey in the Bible (Abraham, Conquest, Jonah, Christ, Paul, etc..) (see www.biblemaps.com)

Secular people coinciding with the Bible People (see http://www.hyperhistory.com/online_n2/History_n2/a.html)

Wars in the Bible

Census statistics of Israel through various passages, showing the growth of the nation through time

Numbers in the bible = 40 days in the flood, 40 days of moses, 40 days of christ, etc..

Miscellaneous

Calendar/Timeline integrated into the passage guide so when I run the verse it tells me the month I am in and possibly the year when knowable

Show the passage of time in the various books

1.       Genesis: Date of Events: from Creation to the Death of Joseph (1805 B. C.)

2.  Exodus:   The Date of Events:  from Jacob’s entrance into Egypt  (1876 B. C.) to the

BONUS:

Show how long some one lived in the Biblical people report

I can think of more, but these come to my mind immediately.

Thanks,

John Fallahee

Other Resources to Draw from:

#1) Nelson's complete books of maps, charts

#2) It would be really helpful if the archaelogical magazines were integrated into these via topical or biblical cross reference

I have no idea what this is, nothing comes up in library and no reference to it in help file either.

Here's the resource:

Here's an example:

Still can't find it Phil... Frank can you post a screen shot of it showing up in the library i.e. what is the title because Infographics yields nothing.  I also tried Logos Bible Software Infographics that I can see in Phils screen dump and that yields nothing... is this something that was included as part of the orginal downloads or something added later as an update and that I would not pick up since I have synch turned off because it is not working properly for me because of timezone issues ... I'm clutching at straws here as to what's going on because I can not see this or timelines for that matter.....

I found it, Andrew.  There's a depiction of Herod's Temple on the Home Page today which has LBSI in the lower right corner.  When you click on it, sure enough, you get a larger image which has "Overview" at the top.  If you click on that you get all of the images. 

I have a suggestion regarding two of these.  It has two images comparing the New Jerusalem to the size of the United States (almost identical).  The better comparison would be to the size of the Roman Empire of the time.

There is a useful chart of biblical units and measurements.  For the time being this will have to suffice.  I would hope that the Weights and Measures function of 3.0 will be included in future versions.

I also have a suggestion regarding the image of Ezekiel's temple.  The image depicts the height of the gates as equal to the height of the temple itself which was 3 stories.  I think the gates should be lower.  It would seem that the sun was to be able to shine into the eastern entrance of the temple.

43 Then he brought me to the gate, the gate facing east. ² And there, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the east; the sound was like the sound of mighty waters; and the earth shone with his glory.

The Holy Bible : New Revised Standard Version. 1989 (Eze 43:1-2). Nashville: Thomas Nelson Publishers.

That sounds a lot more like the SON was shining in, rather than the sun.

I still cannot get right click to work on infographics, either for copying or for exporting to PowerPoint, both of which would be great.  Does that work for anyone else? 

If not, any idea when a fix is planned?

Definitely not working for me.  Right click does nothing.  I have B5, latest resources, indexing completed and rebooted after all that.

Bummer! That is now the case for me as well, after downloading B5![:(]
