Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10+ Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.

This tip is inspired by the forum post: Searching Range of Bible Books that are not concurrent - Logos Forums

There are two ways of doing this. In the first, one simply uses a Passage List document to define the text to be searched. Think "all the passages referenced in the Westminster Confession of Faith", "all passages in Year C of the lectionary", "all passages mentioned in the Commandments of the Law interactive" . . .

The second method is to define a range of references, provide them with a name, and save them for reuse. This is especially useful for alternative canons, for groupings within the canon, etc.

Step 1: enter the reference range.

Step 2: Enter save which then asks for a name for the reference range,

Step 3: Select from the saved reference ranges names

The options for the reference range include:

  • all passages
  • manually entered, one-time range
  • user-defined saved ranges (2nd option above)
  • Logos/Verbum defined common divisions 
  • user-defined passage lists (1st option above)
  • Pericopes from highest priority Bible (only if Bible books is typed in as range)

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."
