- Curiously, for this platform's readers, Hummel laments the impact of Logos Bible Software on page 329. Dispensational Bible Reading methods were enhanced by the radical advances in digital tools that allowed hypertext linking, keyword searches, and interpretive collaboration on a scale never before imagined. Popular study platforms like Logos Bible Software were built on digital Bible databases including the CDWordLibrary project at Dallas Theological Seminary. Logos built a massive library of ebooks that eventually counted more than 200,000 titles, including hundreds of study Bibles and translations, and most of the entire corpus of new premillennial and scholastic dispensational theology. From the collected works of John Nelson Darby and Lewis Sperry Chafer, to Chuck Swindoll’s entire New Testament commentary, to back issues of obscure midcentury theological journals, Logos empowered pastors and lay researchers in ways that the first promoters of biblical concordances could only have dreamed of. That paragraph came from Chapter 19: Surveying the Aftermath. If Logos is in such cahoots with crazy dispensationalists then why has my community price bid for the Collected Works of John Nelson Darby been sitting unchanged since 2016? https://www.logos.com/product/16522/the-collected-writings-of-john-nelson-darby
- The earliest Logos collections were strongly skewed towards dispensationalist works.
