The Bible Browser presents Logos curated data in a new, easy to find manner. Whereas creating complicated search queries to answer specific questions is a huge advantage of Logos' search engine, some people either just don't know where to start or have difficulties constructing the appropriate search syntax.
The Bible Browser looks to solve this problem by providing users with an easy, faceted browsing experience for all the people, places, and things within the Old and New Testaments (you can also select the book of the Bible or standard pre set groupings of texts to limit your search).
To use the Bible Browser, navigate to the tools menu and select Bible Browser.
Please be aware that, because of the massive amount of data required to make this feature work, it is an online only feature.
Once the browser has opened, you will see two panes. The pane on the left loads with the faceting search options. The pane on the right loads with the search results.
With each selection in the left panel, the remaining faceting options are restricted. For example, once you choose “Abinadab (son of Saul)” from the person facet, “sheep” (and a whole host of other things) are no longer listed underneath the Things facet, because no sheep appear in any verses or pericopes where Abinadab also appears.
If you want to know where Jesus and water occur in the same verse but don't know the search syntax <Person Jesus> AND <Thing Water>, simply select the filters and get the results you're looking for.

Some other important things to note about functionality are below:
- Type a word into the Find box at the top of the facet sidebar to filter the facets down to just those values that match what you typed. Note that the same word may appear under multiple facets, and will have different meaning depending on where it appears. For example, if you type “Judah” into the box, you’ll see a long list of people (including “Judah (patriarch)”, a long list of places (including “Judah (kingdom)”), and a short list of things (such as “Judah’s staff”).
- Choose a different Bible version from the drop-down in the toolbar. This list is based on the versions that have thus far been imported into the database on the server, which may be a subset of the versions that you actually own. For now, we’re targeting reverse interlinear Bibles in order of popularity as best we can tell.
- Navigate to a Bible reference from the toolbar. (You can also link this panel to another resource or tool panel to scroll them synchronously.)
- Apply a visual filter by clicking on the “three circles” button on the toolbar. This is the same as the visual filter menu for the corresponding resource because the main content view is a real resource view.
- Choose “Pericope” or “Verse” as the level of result to use to search and show results.
