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 not inspired by a forum post but rather for my wishing the BWS was by corpus only to find it was.

Most effective word studies are conducted on a limited corpus - limited so it can be studied exhaustively. These copora may be by work, by author, by time period, by writing genre ... In Logos/Verbum one may define the corpus on the header for the Bible Word Study.

  1. Click on "All Passages"
  2. Select the desired corpus from the drop down menu
  3. The BWS is now limited to that corpus.

You may create new corpora through a new saved range or a new Passage list. The new copus will be available through the Logos/Verbum ecosystem.

In the passage drop down menu, enter the reference(s) you want in the new corpus.

Click on save to give it a name and use the same references across Logos.

Hit enter to save the criteria under a name and use that name as the current corpus for the BWS.

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."
