***Forum Week event***
(See TWO new additions to the notes in preparation for round 2.)
"How do I ________ with Logos?""What do other users think of ________ resource?""I wonder if anybody else would like _________ resource in Logos' format."
No doubt you've had many thoughts like these. But the odds are incredibly high that someone else has already asked (or answered) your question, right here in the forums.
Hide 'n' Seek
Just a heads-up to make sure everyone has a chance to understand how this works: We'll be doing a few Hide 'n' Seek questions throughout the week to give new users a glimpse of what kind of info is available in the forums and to test everyone else's Forum-fu (see Google-fu).
Things to note:
TIP: The best way to search the forums effectively is to use the following search syntax from Google: [search query] site:community.logos.com (e.g., Bob uses Apple site:community.logos.com)
Difficult (for users with 501+ posts)There is a debate among many biblical scholars about whether to translate a particular Greek phrase as "faith in Jesus Christ" or "the faithfulness of Jesus Christ." Find an example of how to search for every occurrence of this specific Greek phrase in the New Testament.
Moderate (for users with 101–500 posts)What day was the Logos iPhone app first seen in the app store by forum users, and who was the first person to post about the release (after the release had happened, of course)?
Easy (for users with 0–100 posts)True or false: Geerhardus Vos' book Biblical Theology has been suggested in the Suggestions forum (http://community.logos.com/forums/28.aspx)
NOTE: The Suggestions forum is the place to suggest anything Logos-related (e.g., products you would like in Logos' format, Logos.com features, forum features, software features, etc., etc., etc.) Not only does posting here allow us to track suggestions effectively, it's a great way for us to evaluate interest (based on number of and types of responses to that title, feature, etc.)
The first person to answer the appropriate question based on their post count according to the outlined guidlines will win $30 credit at Logos.com

Also, query Vos Biblical Theology

It was already answered. This is crazy fast, fun, and maybe even a little addictive!

This is my personal Faithlife account. On 1 March 2022, I started working for Faithlife, and have a new 'official' user account. Posts on this account shouldn't be taken as official Faithlife views!
The easy question has been answered correctly. Great job everyone for such quick responses.Now for moderate and difficult....

Mark: I am not a power user (in fact I just noticed my post count puts me in the easy category), so I may be missing something in that thread. It appears to me that the thread deals with finding "pistis" but not the particular Greek phrase in question. If your thread does in fact deal with the specifics of this question, would you mind pointing me to there where/how of it specifically?
Thanks!

Excellent!
Stephen Smith: Moderate (for users with 101–500 posts) What day was the Logos iPhone app first seen in the app store by forum users, and who was the first person to post about the release (after the release had happened, of course)?

Sorry. That's what happens when I try and do things too quickly! I'll try again: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/6312.aspx
The search was for site:community.logos.com "faith in" Christ πίστις
alabama24: Too bad
Seriously...not sure how you even found that post...wasn't much to go on in that thread! Would have been an incredible find if the answer were that obscure...
