Do any of you use this resource and what has been your experience with it?

Also, are there other resources that explain how to use the tools of Logos as a way to drill down into the texts as this book shows?

Between the Logos 6 training (Volume 1 & 2) that Morris Proctor published, the QuickStart videos and LearnLogos, I have had a deep immersion into Logos. Lots of fun, so far.

    I have read the books and highly recommend it. All the examples are from Logos 4, but if you have done as much Logos 6 training as you indicate you should have no problem in converting the example to Logos 6. The book teaches you how to interpret the text more than who to use Logos, it is just that the author using Logos as he primary tool for doing hermeneutics.

    Its a solid introduction. And welcome to the forums.

    There are plenty of similar resources out there, but you might consider the Lexham Methods series. Volume One, which is currently available but apparently only in certain base packages (I own it and am reading it now), covers textual criticism. The other three volumes are inexplicably stuck on CP, and for the life of me, I don't know why. The methods covered in this series constitute some of the most requisite knowledge that any Logos user can acquire, since the vast majority of the scholars whose work makes up the Logos stable utilize these methods in their approaches to understanding the Bible.

    If there are any users who don't consider themselves highly fluent in the application of these methods, you are doing yourself a severe disservice by not bidding on this series, since it is probably the clearest and most concise explanation of what these methods are and how they are applied.

    If you do bid, I encourage you to bid at the $50 level, so that a new, lower peak can be established and we can get some momentum going.

    That looks very good. On my wish list for now.[8-|]

    Thanks David on the recommendation of the Lexham Method. I looked and I have it in my library, so have put on my reading list.

    A couple of weeks ago, I saw a message that the Lexham Methods 4 volume set is on CP, and did the $50 bid.
