"Newbie"

I am also a new user to Logos and purchased the Scholar’s Library just prior to the upgrade to Logos 4. I then upgraded to Logos 4 Gold during the recent discount period and have both Logos 3 and Logos 4 installed but I have not really used either. I want to get deeper into God’s Word and strengthen my understanding of it. My question to this knowledgeable, experienced, and helpful group of Logos users:

Because I am new to Logos and would like to understand the basics and be able to take advantage of all of the capabilities, is it better to learn in Logos 3 or should I start with Logos 4?

The only tutorial I have for Logos 3 is the CD that came with the Scholar’s Library, and I recently ordered the PC video and the Training Manual Vol. 1 for Logos 4. I would appreciate any help and suggestions.

Thank you.

My suggestion would be to stick with L4. Watch the videos at logos.com and on the wiki (link located at the top of the forum page. These have been a huge help to me.

Hi Ralph. Welcome to Logos. L4 is the way of the future I think. I'd stay with that rather than having to learn 2 separate programs.

Stick with Logos 4. Most—not all, just most—of the frustrations that have been expressed on these forums are from experienced Logos 3 users. The main complaint is "How can I get Logos 4 to behave like Logos 3." If you never learn to use L3, you can avoid this frustration. You may have other problems, but not that one.

BTW, Welcome to Logos. Read the Wiki, watch the videos from Logos and from other users, and enjoy your journey into God's Word.

Thank you to everyone who responded for the quick response and suggestions. I will stick with Logos 4 and use the resources you suggested. I also appreciate the warm welcome and I know if I have any questions or problems that the help will always be there.
