L/V 10+ Tip of the Day #109 Feature set levels
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: Free Version Questions - Logos Forums
Here, I am simply raising awareness of another user's post:
Justin Gatlin said:If you want to find all of the times that the Greek word agape is used, you need the reverse interlinear datasets that come with Logos Fundamentals ($50).
If you want to search for all of the times that Moses is mentioned in the Bible (whether by name or not - he, they, "the man of God", etc), you need Logos Starter
If you want to search for passages that align with a particular preaching theme or search for when the New Testament quotes the OT, you need Logos Bronze.
If you want to type a Greek or Hebrew root into Factbook and get a whole blast of info about it or you want to use the Logos sermon manager and sermon editor (both very cool tools) or the counseling guide, where you can enter a topic and get curated articles to help you provide pastoral care, you need Silver.
If you want to load your print books into Logos and be able to search them from your computer (you get a little context and a page number) or want to be able to search by semantic roles (who is doing something? who is it being done to?) you need the Full/Gold option.
In addition to being able to buy a feature set, you can also buy a base package, which includes the feature set and a bunch of books at a bigger discount. But you can mix and match. And Logos provides dynamic pricing, so if you own half of a package already, you pay half price. I can run search for something like "love IN speaker:Jesus" or "person:Peter AND person:John" to get results that would be almost impossible with paper and ink resources. The counseling guide is a regular part of my workflow and I use the sermon editor every week. Your mileage may vary!
If you are just grateful for the software and want to support its future development, Fundamentals is a great place to start. And because of dynamic pricing, if you decide to upgrade more, it will never hurt you.
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."
