I came to Logos from Wordsearch and have never been able to use it effectively. I have books prioritized on the list on the right side of the page but when I try to open them, nothing happens.
Watch this:
@Ken Gibson
Are you trying to click on the titles of the books in the priorization panel? If so, that's not how you open them. The panel only serves to manage which books are referenced above others in Logos. You can place and order books in the list to reflect your preferences but that's it. To open them, search for them in the library search field and open any title by clicking on it in the list that is thus produced.
Thanks. I would really like to use LOGOS, and I've had it for several years, but I'm a little older and have a really hard time finding any "hold in my hand" (printed) instructions. All I can do now is open the library, as you suggested, then open which books I choose. I still use Wordsearch and find it much easier to navigate. I'll probably continue to use it until I can't anymore, then I'll be too old to use anything!
Appreciate your help. Ken
@Ken Gibson I understand it can be difficult to adapt to Logos. Have you gone through the videos of orientation for people new to Logos? They are here.
Logos is not the most intuitive Bible software although the company is working on improving this. A bit of perseverance is rewarding though as you will be able to really dig deep into the Word.
A recommended path to gaining understanding of prioritization can be found as follows: from the Forums banner above, select Training > Logos User Wiki > scroll to Prioritizing > A Sample Prioritize List > select from banner: How to Prioritize resources > Read the page Prioritizing by Dave Hooton Last Updated Oct 4, 2024. I know it was a grueling walk to this information, but I promise you it's worth it!
Verbum displays it some way, but the link isn't working:
I just started reading Schreiner's commentary on Revelation today. I've noticed that the Greek text and transliterations are not tagged with pop-up definitions (compare to Osborne in the BECNT and multiple other commentaries in different series). Has Logos cut back on the tagging or is this an aberration?
May I know is this just me? OR it's missing from the resources of LXX Swete? It's at ESV Hebrews 13:1 Let brotherly love continue. Steps : Navigate to ESV Hebrews 13:1. Right Click the word love in that verse & go to Word Study.
I have not used the LOTH for a long time in Verbum, so today I checked it out. I used "The Liturgy of the Hours, Volumes I–IV and Supplement", LOTH.logos4. Is this the US/Catholic one? I ask because it's just wrong in a number of ways today - the antiphons, the readings. I just checked Office of Readings, and the 2…
When one examines the lectionary-based Bible commentaries, they are spread across Bible Commentary, Calendar Devotional, and Devotional (omitting eBooks) which makes it a real pain to use them. I should be able to make a collection of them with a Bible index and be able to spin through these resources. A prime example of…
