• How do I obtain the Logos Pro release? Thanks!

  • I started using Logos in Bible College in 2005. I couldn't have accomplished my 3.97 GPA without it, that and the Holy Spirit guiding with with God's wisdom and understanding. I started with Logos 3 and I'm now using Logos 10. I've loved the free book of the month club. At this point and time, I have almost 2800 books in my Bible study arsenal with this Bible study app "LOGOS" I was able to do well in college with a TBI after an industrial accident. I've been able to share the Gospel "to the ends of the earth" as God has commanded us to do. I share my faith, lift up family and I'm able to answer questions that the doubter may have. For its upon us to remove all doubt from our brethren's minds. Knowing and understanding God's word. It's also been a blessing to have access to God's word in the original languages. I speak and write in English, studied Spanish, so that I could great and share my faith in Spanish, or at least great Spanish speaking Christians. My desire to better understand the Bible led me to seek out teacher to learn Hebrew, I have also sought out and found the Bible, in Greek, for the Bible before she lost her sight). My desire to better understand the Bible from it's original languages: Hebrew, Greek and Aromaic, has blessed me more than I could have imagined. From this desire to learn Hebrew, I met a kind and wise Jewish woman (a retired teacher). I learned the Hebrew alphabet first, then the pronunciation of each character. Then I learned the sounds for each to form words, like Shalom. I found great helpful websites to learn to write, to speak, and sing in Hebrew. I was invited to Shabbat on Friday nights at a local synagogue. Spending time with my fellow Jews in my town was such a blessing. With Logos I have be able to study the original language Hebrew and get more out of it than I ever imagined. Going back to the beginning of Hebrew (the pictograph language) I learned about its 3-fold meaning. In the beginning (Hebrew Pictograph Alphabet) I could see the meaning behind the Picture (where a character would look like a tent-meaning home) then adding the additional characters to form the word then adding each character's number (which has a meaning also). We lose so much translating to English. Knowing this has inspired me to use Logos to continue to better understand the Bible, God's word. Wisdom comes by reading and hearing the word of God. This inspires my prayer and understanding that I have a Helper, the Holy Spirit. Another blessing that Logos provides is the meaning of the names in the Bible. For instance, when I am reading the book of Numbers; I use the "The EXHAUSTIVE DICTIONARY of BIBLE NAMES" as I read through Numbers, by doing so it tells a story that you wouldn't know was there, unless you were to read and write in Hebrew. This is such a cool and enriching and spiritually blessing that is invisible until you interpret the Biblical names. Like my Middle name "David" which means "my Beloved". After my father. There is so much to learn with Logos, but one of the most important things that Logos provides is Bible study in a fast and meaning way. Turning pages while looking for specific topics, words, times, places, names to help Gentiles and Jews come to faith in Jesus. Always be ready to defend your faith. With Logos I can. It helps me to be a light to those around me. Thank you and God bless you. Eirik Larson PS: This article was inspired by the question, why I chose to use Logos Bible program.

    1. , thanks so much for taking the time to share this with us! I've passed your testimony along to our entire team. It's an honor to be a part of your journey of knowing God and making him know.

  • I love your apps. They're so appropriate to studying scriptures and compare them.

    1. I'm trying to find all of the instances where the Gospels are quoted and/or cited in the Ante-Nicene Fathers. Is there an easy way to do that with a certain Search Query? Thanks for any help anyone can give me!

      2. Kevin, you might check out the resources found at this link to get some ideas. http://evangelicaltextualcriticism.blogspot.com/2006/09/checking-patristic-citations.html
        Checking Patristic Citations
        This is a forum for people with knowledge of the Bible in its original languages to discuss its manuscripts and textual history from the perspective of historic evangelical theology.

      3. Each volume has an index of texts at the end of the book. That index shows each verse cited and the page reference. Otherwise, you can define your search to limit it to the ANF series and then search for bible:"Matthew-John"

      4. Thanks

      When selecting text in sermon editor and formatting as a numbered list I'm not getting a space between the period and the first letter/word of my sentence. Is there a way to fix this?

      1. When editing a sermon in Logos (using the sermon writing feature) on my Macbook, for some reason, an ellipsis (...) doubles in length when I use it. It's very frustrating. I always have to delete three ... when I type out an ellipsis. Is this a glitch, or can I change it? Thanks! (I also posted this on another forum here.)

        2. @JimN - you're right! Mine too..I don't use double dashes much, but mine doubles up as well -- -- . And speaking of glitches, I don't like how formatting automatically carries over into the next line after pressing enter. For example, when I use a bold font and press enter, the next line is bold as well until I turn bold off. I wish there were a default formatting option. It's annoying having to undo formatting!
        3. Thanks for bringing these items to our attention -- we already have an open ticket to get these issues fixed on Mac and hope to get them resolved very soon!

        4. Thanks!!

      2. Is there a way to disable the left and right arror keys? I am using a laptop, and I use the up and down arror keys but it is so easy to hit the wrong keys (left or right).

        1. No - this is not possible

        2. Thanks Graham. It would be nice to lock a book that can't be changed, only by unlocking it. Sometimes my fingers don't do what they are suppose to do.

      3. In the genealogy of Jesus, what is meant by the phrase "42 Burning generations" ?

        2. Well the two genealogies take a different perspective, and perhaps Luke’s can be considered more precise, but since Matthew’s is also scripture, it is no less accurate.

        3. Matthew and Luke present two different genealogies splitting at David's sons Solomon (Matthew) and Nathan (Luke). Luke may have given Mary's family while Matthew gave Joseph's family. The reason for Matthew's division into groups of fourteen is because the Hebrew alphabet functioned as their numbering system as well. The letters dalet and vav were numbers 4 and 6, respectively, so David's name (DVD) is 4+6+4=14. When Matthew's Jewish audience saw "14," they recognized it as a stand-in for "David" because Matthew emphasized Jesus as David's son, the Messiah.

        4. Concur on the codeword Dōd (דוד) for the fourteenth man St. Matthew's book of generations. Perhaps there is a codeword that spells twenty-eight (numeral)?

      4. Glory be to the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ

      5. I need help with the NOTES tool. There are about 6,000 notes and highlights due to my ongoing study of the Christian Standard Bible. How can I delete some of them, without having to dive into a sea of prior notes?
        2. I'm not sure if the IT guys could or would be able to help you, but who knows. Are they in any sort of grouping or order? If they're all in your Christian Standard Bible, you could enter that (CSB) into the Search bar to bring up just those notes. If they're all from the same time period, you could sort them by creation date, then select a note, scroll to the end of some and click on one while holding Shift to select all notes between them, and/or hold CTRL while clicking on individual notes to select them if not in sequence. It may take a few combinations to locate them all, but I'd definitely utilize the Search bar and any sorting or notebooks where they might be found. There probably won't be a quick way otherwise.

        3. I feel you. Notes, Clippings, and more are unfortunately confusing. The simplest suggestion i have is to label them with "Z" to put them at the bottom, and then over time as you go thru the bible, just delete them one by one. that's more or less what I am doing. the proper organization of my notes is gonna take years.

        4. Label the notes 'Z', O.K. Thanks, Barnabas
