How did the message of Jesus Christ ever survive without a deep, complex, massive, and internet based bible search program? Perhaps FL design team could take a few pointers on complexity of use from the First Century approach to messaging.

What may seem obvious, after a few interactions, with FL sales reps is that the company seems to place marketing/sales as a priority in customer interactions over the agenda of Word sales reps.

You didn't seriously think you could say something negative about FL, and not precede it by saying how you love Logos oh so much, except for just a tiny little detail. Did you not expect the

[quote user="Joseph Turner"] [quote user="Rene Atchley"]Not so hard to find a product without such an amazing and romantic approach considering the market is monopolized by a company (or ministry or dating service or TV station or college book publisher) who can charge up to $10k for digitized public domain products.

[quote user="Mike Binks"] [quote user="Rene Atchley"] Indeed Logos is annoying, expensive, counter intuitive, and generally an indirect piece of software that takes several steps where one could suffice.

Unless one has specialized needs such as academic related reasons then any of the standard Bronze packages might be a good compromise between value and cost.

I have taken a quick look at the counseling guide with some interest in its development. On one hand I find the connected listing with related as almost a useless tool for my day-to-day work as a licensed therapist (LCSW/LISW/MSW)/D. Min). On the other hand if this tool can be used, simplified, and meaningful then it is likely that my pocketbook will

I got the upgrad to 9 Bronze recently....as usual it seems ok. Personally I don't need 10k of books with 50% public domain for huge sums of cash. Seems to me that Bronze is worth the effort to get a max benefit at minimum cost.

Personally I have had one edition or another of Logos since 1992...starting with the Scholar edition. What I have found it is better to start with the entry level package (Bronze) then make additions as necessary as one learns what the most important resources necessary for effective bible study. There is always a justification and a company marketing

A simple answer might be with discount Bronze to start and without discount Starter....then see how your needs develop in future...then buy what you need.

There was two things that I took away from a Wesleyan/Methodist view on theology and faith was a) the text is primary and b) theology is opinion on/about the text. From this perspective the approach to text work from Logos seems little more than an attempt to use ai to spit out predigested assumptions, conclusions, and speculations from "expert" about

Logos seems to have a different system of working when doing bible study or other kinds of bible related work (Counseling). From my experience the difference isn't the books in a library (like WS) rather it is the sum total of data that is searched by the AI to generate the results from that database...sort of like the difference between Excel vs. WordPerfect
-
I would suggest a starter or Bronze set to really get a feel for the software. The strength of Logos (imo) lies in the breadth of the data (library) that the AI engine uses to give results.

Perhaps the question then is Logos, in whatever form, done right when a person spends thousands of dollars on a product and significant parts don't work. After all the Pinto was done right in many ways...it just had an itty bitty problem. Personally I have about $1500 wrapped up in this beast over 25 years but I still would use any possible alternative
-
Well one could go down the rabbit hole of problems with Logos...which seem numerous in program implementation. Yet I would ask the questions about user concerns in a different way. When the core product is constantly supplemated, in pursuit of profit, with multiple other lines of products (i.e. dating services, secular products, TV channels, purchasing
