I'd like to know what resource you use most often in your study. Why is it your favorite? What do you use it for?

Personally, the High-Definition New Testament has changed the way I study. It opens the door to original language study for english-only scholars like me.

    Wow, THAT is really cool.  What a fabulous idea.  I'd be very interested in the Greek version.  

    It's sometimes - for a newcomer - somewhat overwhelming, the number of resources, etc.  Truly amazing just the same though.  [:)]

    Apart from the Bible (of course), which I'm sure you were taking for granted...

    Reverse Interlinear for any Bible that has it for both testaments. I use it with ESV and NIV most frequently. It opens the door to original language study for me.

    Having Greek New Testaments that are morphologically tagged has helped me consistently read my Greek NT through each year so I think the NA 28 would be high on my list now.

    Like Rosie, I also appreciate the reverse interlinear for the OT since my Hebrew skills are not as good as my Greek skills. But I'm working on my Hebrew pretty consistently now with the help of some Logos resources as well.

    Great stuff! Analyzing the original languages can be very difficult and time consuming for a beginner at Greek. This sort of module looks like it would help pinpoint some key points that would otherwise go unnoticed or ignored. I'm gonna look into budgeting for this I think!

    The Hebrew and Greek High Definition resources are my favorite resources to go to first in my study of the text.

    Hi Ray,

    My absolute favorite resource some would argue is not a resource at all, but, what it is is a feature or a tool. However, I say it is a resource. Search allows me to interpret scripture with scripture. It also aids me in locating scripture that I use to encourage believers and others. Also, it helps me seek out other resources that treat the same theme. It keeps track of my research efforts which I also use to generate notes. I love to search other resources after or as I'm meditating on the Word.

    It's my favorite!

    Meanwhile, Jesus kept on growing wiser and more mature, and in favor with God and his fellow man.

    I keep my  Book of Common Prayer Daily Office Lectionary on home page bar. I open it up and read the texts of the day and choose one to study more in-depthly for my devotional study time.  i choose one copy  the lection close it and start it off passage guide and go from there to see what God has to say to me from the text.

    The "Lexham High Definition New Testament: ESV Edition" is accessible on the mobile apps. Due to its unique formatting, it is much less usable on an iPhone than on an iPad. Also, the symbols don't have the same "hover over to identify" feature as can be done on the desktop app.

    I know for me, Logos is great as a devotional wherever I'm at on my iOS device. To have Morning & Evening or MUHH open next to the ESV makes devotions less about finding which book is piled on what, and more about memorizing, thinking, and pondering God's Word and His servants.

    New Treasury of Scripture knowledge is light years away the most valuable tool. To be able to hover over dozens of possible connections to a text in seconds. Could it get any better?

    BHS—I read it and study it.  What else would you do with it?

    I bought the Greek NT Discourse Bundle (9vols.) instead using the Logos' blog promo code. But I'm having second thoughts because of the pricing .. since this 6vols. of these are in the Portfolio. 

    I'm thinking maybe you guys will include this in Logos 6 Diamond or something, and I have paid more than I should have.

    But, yeah.. It's a good resource indeed, its still a bible in itself. (the bible still the best commentary.. scripture interpret scripture)
