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: Another day, another stupid question - Logos Forums

There are three elements of the Bible Sense Lexicon that allow navigation/expansion/contraction within it:

  1. The input box
  2. The relationships
  3. The nodes when black; clear nodes indicate the final node.

The results of entering "to follow (behavior)" in the input box:

In the main visual display pane, "to appoint (duty)" is a dark node; mouse-over provides a pop-up; click toggles the expansion/contraction of the next level down.

Click on an item in the Relationships section to make that item appear in the input box and have the entire panel redrawn. "To imitate" was selected for this example.

Navigation outside the Bible sense lexicon:

  • Open a search panel for the sense (header)
  • Open a Bible Word Study on the lemma (lemmas)
  • Open the Bible to a passage (lemmas)
  • Open Factbook for a Biblical entity (see also)
  • Open a Topic Guide (see also)
  • Open Louw Nida (see also)

Hover popups on:

  • spark chart (count per Bible book)
  • lemma (translation wheel)
  • Bible reference (text in preferred Bible)
  • relationship sense (sense card)
  • factbook entry name (frequency card)
  • LouwNida (text preview)
  • topic guide (command preview)
  • sense in diagram (compact BSL data)

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."
