[quote user="MJ. Smith"]Thanks for all the help. I now have a sense of direction to actually start my research rather than just mulling the issue around in my own mind and collecting examples of the abuse.[/quote] This is a complex question, MJ. Many of us (believers, preachers, writers …) hear only what reverberates in an echo chamber that reinforces

[quote user="Bootjack"]I just wanted to see if others such as yourself, have found Logos stacks up well with the Ryzen chip[/quote] Bootjack, I can't comment on the Ryzen, but I don't expect the CPU would be the big difference. It's moving to SSD that really makes Logos fly. Since your previous Asus ROG is 8 years old, I'm guessing it used a spinning

[quote user="Paul Caneparo"]Does anyone else have recommendations on choosing wisely?[/quote] Something I do periodically before making a purchase is to open the Library window, enter type:commentary , and sort by the Most Used column. I also set the Rating for each commentary as I use them. This makes it easy to see which ones I find helpful. Before

[quote user="Ben Carr"]Will a display resolution of 1920 x 1200 be a bad idea for Logos?[/quote] Not at all. I use a 17" laptop with 1920 x 1080 display. A bit more vertically would be perfect (a bit more text on screen at once). 4k in a laptop screen is unnecessary resolution, and can cause issues with some older programs (not Logos). I have 32 GB

[quote user="Randall Lind"] It just repeating 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings. I am getting bored reading the OT. [/quote] You're a stirrer, Randall. ;-) And I suspect you already know some of the answers. If I'm wrong, ask questions about the timing (when it was compiled compared to Kings), and how that reflects the differences. (The last chapter

[quote user="JT (alabama24)"] The single greatest feature (for me) is Logos as "search library." The ability to search ALL of my books is my primary use (outside of reading). [/quote] Yep. Instant, powerful, local search of Scripture and all resources.

Hi Eric. Good question. I’m not “Logos” (just a user), but happy to share what I do. As you go, I’m sure you’ll develop approaches that suit what you want to achieve. I have one notebook where I enter all my Bible notes ("Allen’s Bible Notes"). There are thousands of them, but most are brief. Many contain cross-references to other Bible texts, and hyperlinks

[quote user="Floyd Johnson"]I was asked how was " gospel " or " ευαγγελιον " understood prior to it being applied to Christ in the NT. Did it have a religious connotation or was it merely used to refer to family or social events of some sort. Are there tools in LOGOS that could help me answer that question?[/quote] Hi Floyd Searching primary sources

Looks like some new Logos 9 packages labelled "Bible Engagement Project": Bronze Silver Gold Platinum Anyone from a Charismatic/Pentecostal background may find them more attractive than the current Logos 9 Pente/Ch packs. I bought Bronze for Keener's Spirit Hermeneutics (Eerdmans, 2016).

[quote user="Michael Kinch"] Which journals do you find most helpful in your studies? Is there a particular journal that you go to most often? Thank you. [/quote] Interesting question, Michael. Sorting my library by "Most Used", filtered to "type:journal", it looks like the ones I've used most are: JETS (Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society

[quote user="Tony Gedwillo"]... moving Logos from my HDD to my SSD ...[/quote] Yes, that will do it Tony. Makes sense when you consider what Logos is doing that the disk I/O would be the bottleneck. I made the same move a couple of laptops ago, and shared your joy.

[quote user="Randall Lind"]Judges 19 is crazy a man comes to stay the night then the town knocks on the door the man of the house offers his daughter and concubine. They took the concubine and had their way with her until she died. Then the master cut her up into 12 pieces and sent her throughout the land of Isreal. WHAT THE HECK??? This is just insane

[quote user="Greg Dement"] I have this but in Dynamic pricing it shows about $35, so there must be a new Volume or an update. For some reason the listing on the website doesn’t list the volumes individually so I can’t tell from the listing on the website what I am missing to determine if I have an interest or not. Does anyone know a way to check? https

[quote user="David De Haan"] In a moment of inattention, I deleted not only the intended note, but the whole notebook! My blood pressure skyrocketed when I realized the many hours of study notes were gone. In half panic I searched and found Logos had the deleted notebook in the cloud server where I was able to undelete the deleted. Thank you Faithlife

[quote user="Fergus Yuille"]Would you recommend this dictionary for someone like me? I preach about three times per year and teach regularly in Sunday school. On occasion I find myself wanting to know more about Judaism at large in the period this dictionary covers and am a bit frustrated that the dictionaries I have don't give me the info I want. I
