As I am looking to purchase the BDAG, HALOT, and the NA28, will getting those add more to my Exegetical Guide?

    Clicking more shows more Lexicons in Exegetical Guide:

    By the way, my favorite Logos feature is visual filter highlighting; wiki has => https://wiki.logos.com/Extended_Tips_for_Highlighting_and_Visual_Filters#Examples_of_visual_filters

    It would seem to me that Logos uses BDAG if you have it in your library.  Also, the NA28 Apparatus.  I do not own the HALOT so I don't know about that resource.  Here is what I see in the Exegetical Guide for Matthew 1:1.

    I apologize for not selecting the ESV in the screenshot but I did check and it shows the same information reference the BDAG.

    Yes they will. Logos basically tries to take advantage of all relevant resources you own in this section. Remember that you can prioritize the lexicons and grammars to control the order in which they appear. Default prioritization in Logos:

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    How can I prioritize them in how they appear when I am in my Exegetical Guide? (I don't yet own the BDAG, HALOT, or NA28). However, I will want to prioritize them when I get them sometime down the road(soon, Lord willing).

    See https://wiki.logos.com/Prioritizing and ask for help of the forums.

    As has been said, BDAG and HAL will be added to the lexicon listings in the Exegetical Guide.

    The NA28 is a Greek text that you could prioritize as you top Greek text, and then its text will appear in the textual section of the Exegetical Guide for NT texts instead of the Greek text you are now using.

    Adding BDAG and HALOT will give you more in the Exegetical Guide than adding the NA28 text.

    Thank you all for helping me on this! I'm planning(or hoping?) to go to a training camp in October when one is near me in Florida.

    Hope gets everything going internally including keeping your thoughts on the goal.  Planning makes it happen.  It's not "either-or", but instead "both-and".
