A group for users of Logos Bible Software to discuss searching.
Follow- Welcome to the Logos Search group. This is a place for users of Logos Bible Software to talk about searching in the Logos desktop, web, and mobile apps. Share and learn tips, trade search examples, ask and answer questions, and show some of the cool insights you've gleaned from Logos's powerful searching and unique data sets—and let us know how we can make Logos searching even better.
- I'd like to export a full list of all pericope headings for a specified section of a particular translation, that includes only the heading text and the bk chap:vs that it precedes. Please help. Thanks

I don't' know how to do this in Logos and I don't think even the paid version of ChatGPT or another LLM would be good for this task. I would focus my prompting on finding someone who has already created an "outline" as they may use that terminology as opposed to Pericope. Here's one I found for the ESV, but maybe you can find someone else who has already put the lists together for the translations you need. https://imlisteningtogod.wordpress.com/2014/05/26/new-testament-outlines-esv-headings-matthew-revelation/Phil Gons (Logos) — Edited
The Compare Pericopes feature of Passage Analysis may be useful: https://ref.ly/logos4/PassageAnalysisPhil Gons (Logos) — Edited

- I'd like to search all the uses of neuter singular relative pronouns in the New Testament. I'm particularly interested in comparing the ones that have multiple possible antecedents. How would I go about searching that?
- Tucker Sean Boyer, Go to Morph Search, choose your Greek New Testament, type @ and then select Pronoun, Relative, Neuter, and then run the search. In the SBL GNT, it's this: morph.g:RR???N https://app.logos.com/search?case=ignore&form=same&kind=morph&layout=one&q=morph.g%3ARR%3F%3F%3FN&ref=narrow&resourceIds=LLS%3ASBLGNT&resources=custom&source=searchPanel&syntax=v2&view=passages
- morph.g:P THEN (lemma.g:Ἰησοῦς OR lemma.g:Χριστός) https://app.logos.com/search?case=ignore&form=same&kind=morph&q=morph.g%3AP+THEN+%28lemma.g%3A%E1%BC%B8%CE%B7%CF%83%CE%BF%E1%BF%A6%CF%82+OR+lemma.g%3A%CE%A7%CF%81%CE%B9%CF%83%CF%84%CF%8C%CF%82%29&ref=narrow&resourceIds=LLS%3ASBLGNT&resources=custom&source=searchPanel&syntax=v2&view=passages You could also try this to catch any occurrences with the definite article: morph.g:P BEFORE 2 WORDS (lemma.g:Ἰησοῦς OR lemma.g:Χριστός) https://app.logos.com/search?case=ignore&form=same&kind=morph&q=morph.g%3AP+BEFORE+2+WORDS+%28lemma.g%3A%E1%BC%B8%CE%B7%CF%83%CE%BF%E1%BF%A6%CF%82+OR+lemma.g%3A%CE%A7%CF%81%CE%B9%CF%83%CF%84%CF%8C%CF%82%29&ref=narrow&resourceIds=LLS%3ASBLGNT&resources=custom&source=searchPanel&syntax=v2&view=passages If you want to broaden beyond "Jesus" and "Christ" and capture other references to the person, you could use this instead: morph.g:P THEN person:Jesus https://app.logos.com/search?case=ignore&form=same&kind=morph&q=morph.g%3AP+THEN+person%3AJesus&ref=narrow&resourceIds=LLS%3ASBLGNT&resources=custom&source=searchPanel&syntax=v2&view=passages Same thing about intervening definite articles: morph.g:P BEFORE 2 WORDS person:Jesus https://app.logos.com/search?case=ignore&form=same&kind=morph&q=morph.g%3AP+BEFORE+2+WORDS+person%3AJesus&ref=narrow&resourceIds=LLS%3ASBLGNT&resources=custom&source=searchPanel&syntax=v2&view=passages
- Most excellent help! Thank you. This will also help me learn the "grammar" of the search function.
- A few tips: * Type @ to invoke the morph picker, which will allow you to specify morphological database and select part of speech, etc. * Type lemma: and then start typing in English. We'll reverse transliterate to help you find the word you're looking for. * Get familiar with the operators and what they mean, and make sure to always use ALL CAPS. * Don't forget to group with parentheses, like you to in math to control the order of operations. Feel free to keep asking questions as you learn. We're here to help!
- Agreed, you can do a Bible search for "speaker:Jesus" and set the range to just Matthew-John. Then you can change the results display to match how you want to view it (Passage, Aligned, Grid, etc.).
- Bible Browser can be a good tool for this. Choose "Gospels" from Bible Books -> Common Divisions. Then choose "Jesus Christ" from Reported Speech -> Speakers. You can view by Pericope rather than by Verse if that helps you.
- How would I search for examples where a Hebrew wayyiqtol verb is translated as a pluperfect (had...) in an English text
- Try this search in your preferred English translation: morph.h:V?W INTERSECTS had https://app.logos.com/search?case=ignore&form=all&kind=morph&q=morph.h%3AV%3FW+INTERSECTS+had&ref=default&resourceIds=LLS%3ANIV2011&resources=custom&source=searchPanel&syntax=v2&view=passages
- new to Logos from another Bible app how can i search for all references where Aaron is the subject of a verb of communication, including results where Aaron is not explicitly named
- Andersen Forbes Phrase Marker Analysis (AF) is certainly the best for this search. Here are the most important Hebrew verbs of communication, of which I have selected only 3: The most common verbs with Aaron as the subject may be דבר, אמר and קרא. The following verbs do not occur in connection with Aaron as a subject. At least I have not found any matches: ענה (ʿnh) - “answer” צעק (ṣʿq) - “to shout, cry out” נגד (ngd) Hifil - “to report, to tell” צוה (ṣwh) - “command, order” שאל (šʾl) - “to ask” ספר (spr) - “to tell, to narrate” קרא (qrʾ) - “to name, to designate” בשׂר (bśr) - “to proclaim (good news)” זעק (zʿq) - “to shout, cry out” Here you have a link to the syntax search that you can download. Maybe this will help you. Greetings Thomas Ps: Sorry for my bad English, I used digital translator.

Try running a Bible Search using the string propositionalOutline:Question- Or simply question:* For example, question:* IN bible:Galatians https://app.logos.com/search?case=ignore&engine=lexical&form=all&kind=bible&q=question%3A%2A+IN+bible%3AGalatians&ref=default&resources=topBible&source=searchPanel&syntax=v2&view=passages
- Is there something you would like some help with?
- I'm not exactly sure what type of information you are looking for, but to get started this book search will return all of the references to OT prophets named as a prophetic book in the OT, in books tagged as a commentary in your Logos library. Note that this search will not show results for the prophet Elisha, for example, since there is not a prophetic book named after him. The same limitation applies to Miriam, Noah, Abraham, and Moses. type:commentary AND Isaiah OR Jeremiah OR Ezekiel OR Daniel OR Hosea OR Joel OR Amos OR Obadiah OR Jonah OR Micah OR Nahum OR Habakkuk OR Zephaniah OR Haggai OR Zechariah OR Malachi When I ran this search I got a very large number of hits in my commentaries, so it might be best to narrow your search to a smaller number of names. Example: type:commentary AND Isaiah. Another approach might be to first find all the names that Logos has tagged as "prophet". You can do this by running a bible search using label:prophet. This will highlight the name of every prophet. From there you can do a commentary search for type:commentary AND [name of the prophet]. Last, your could simply open a commentary and do an inline search for all occurrences of the word "Elijah" or any other prophet that you are interested in. I hope this helps you.
- Thanks
