The smartest Bible Scholars you've ever met

Let me recommend that you include Dr. Daniel Wallace as an adviser. He heads the Greek department and Dallas Theological Seminary--and is one of the foremost Greek scholars today. Plus, he's one of the nicest and kindest men I have had the privilege to know. He's the driving force behind the NET Bible. His expertise in Greek would make him an invaluable resource person. Blessings to all, Steve Spencer

Just take a look at a few of the advanced degrees and honors our employees have earned.

And it shows, in the quality of the software and momentum of the company.

With these on staff and the new possibilities of Logos 4,  I don't see why Logos does not establish an online-only semimary.

Disclaimers:
(Yes, I do know there already are some online seminaries out there.)
(Yes, I do know, Logos Bible software is already used in many seminaries.)
(Yes, I do know it will require a paradigm shift for the establishment to embrace this possibility.)
(Yes, we may have to wander in the wilderness for 40 years while God kills off the old guard who refuse to embrace the future visvion.)

I suppose a strength would be to revisit some of your resources and correct their inaccuracies.  Easton's is full of them, Strong's isn't even very accurate in some details.  It makes research unreliable and timely to double check the bible everytime I pull up a concordance list or commentaries' view.

Don't get me wrong------Libronix is incredible.  Cross-reference capabilities and all.  I own the Scholar's edition and have never been happier with the software technology. 

But if you build the best vehicle on the market and put faulty firestone tires on it...it matters.

On a side note or rather to the point of the question...You could look into bringing these commentary, dictionary and concordance scholar's together (or at least their protege's) to come to some sort of rational conclusion to the vast differences in their texts.  Like perhaps, Biblical conclusions.

Take the ten lost tribes of Israel...

The Reubenites, Gadites and Half-tribe of Manasseh are in Halah, Habor, Hara and the river of Gozan (1 Chronicles 5:26)

The Simeonites are in the hill country of Seir (1 Chronicles 4:42)

I am still looking for the other 6, but if you believe in the written word and the "tests for Canonicity", then looking at it from that perspective should eventually provide results.

How is it that in most of the commentaries in your program...have 1 Chronicles 6 (the Geneology of the Levi) so...?  6:19-21 (of Gershon) in particular;  Of Gershon; Libni his son, Jehath his son, Zimmah his son, Joah his son, Iddo his son, Zerah his son and Jeatherai his son.

If you read the sentence right before 6:20, it states the truth of this listing that each one of these men were not the father of the next in line...but rather that this is a list of the fathers of the clans of Gershon. 

Perhaps, in the conclusion, the commentary editors were looking at the fact that the fathers of the clans are listed so...

Of Gershon:

The descendants of Kohath:

The descendants of Merari:

In which case a statement could be made that they (1 Chron 6:20, 21) were sons "Of" Gershon and not his descendants.  Unless you use Libronix and trace the ancestory of each of the men on that list and no where else in the written word are these men the "seed" of each other.

Of course, getting members of these institutions together...and getting them to agree...perhaps might be to GREAT an undertaking for "The smartest Bible scholars, you've ever met".

Perhaps, you could begin a difinitive breakdown of the facts of the bible AS IT IS WRITTEN.  Show no fear for Revelation 22:18, 19 and God be merciful.

Maybe the true number of Israelites that came out of Egypt would tarry some weight?  The key to its answer lies in Jacob's blessing of Manasseh and Ephraim in Genesis 48 and the chapters of Numbers 1 and 26 comparitively.

Maybe the destruction of Adultery by God at Creation, before the fall of man?

So many truths revealed and yet, so many more to go...

Merry Christ'mas and may God bless your endevours.

I suggest ,that you may include the Amharic bible (Ethiopian language) Hailesellasie 1 in your format  in logos 4. 

Dan,

I appreciate (in part) the problems with metadata but:

• There are some glaring errors. The two New American Commentaries released this week have a missing series tag. This is not MARC data, this is Logos data!
• There is no reason why Logos can't have a canonical or definitive publisher/author field for Library/Collection purposes, even if you have to have inconsistent MARC records data within resources.
• If you look at the wiki, you'll see a long list of metadata correction proposals. The vast majority of these are problems with Logos tagging, not MARC/LOC records.

In Logos 3, we probably wouldn't have cared about any of this. But in Logos 4 it matters because of the wonderful new collections/library features. Please, can your mom help us to use those features properly by correcting the data [:)]

I suggest ,that you may include the Amharic bible (Ethiopian language) Hailesellasie 1 in your format  in logos 4. 

Tes,

posting the same topic many times does nothing but clog up the forum.

Please post suggestions in the "suggestion" section of the forum.

thanks,

bob

Thank you Logos for the Personal book. This time has been changed.
