• Please tell me that this group has everything that was in the original mpseminars group and that the things that I have already paid for and that I have party gotten through are included in this group so that I haven’t lost any of the lessons that I have paid for already.

    1. Afaik they don’t strip things out but I suppose if you’re referring to seminars from, say, 2000-2001, that don’t apply at all to the product today, those may have been removed. But if you are talking about recent stuff, and are missing a title, then email info@mpseminars.com

  • Is there a way to search books for only one specific verse? I can conduct a search for e.g. <bible:"Genesis 1:1"> and this will give the results for that verse, but also anything for instance that refers to Gen 1 in general. Normally that is fine, but sometimes I would like to know if a particular verse only is mentioned without other results for a larger number of verses.

    2. Sorry for not being clear. I was searching in Books, with a specific collection of books and All text. Then as search term I use e.g. bible:"Genesis 1:1". That does not show the actual verse (the collection does not include a Bible), but any reference to that verse in any of the books in the collection. But any broader references (such as the whole chapter) are also included.

    3. And using the help I now found the answer to my own question. I have to add an equals sign, so "bible:="Genesis 1:1" rather than bible:"Genesis 1:1". Sorry I should have looked at the help examples first.

    4. Thanks for clarifying ... I get it now. Glad you found the =

  • Is anyone aware of the reason behind Logos’s gradual shift towards incorporating an increasing number of research-oriented books as “reader editions”? This trend has left me feeling quite uneasy. All of their new base packages, which they proudly proclaim as possessing the “power of logos,” are replete with reader editions. Unless I am overlooking something, these editions do not fully utilize Logos software. Faithlife has consistently demonstrated exceptional management and has provided valuable services to both the Church and the Academy. I am deeply disappointed by this new trend, as it appears to be a departure from offering the tools that make scholarly materials an enjoyable experience to work with. Instead, they are adopting a strategy that primarily targets lay readers. When reader editions were initially introduced, I believed Faithlife’s assertion that these editions would be reserved for books intended to be read from cover to cover. I am uncertain about the factors that prompted them to abandon this initial stance, but I am nonetheless saddened by this change.

    2. Hmm. I may be misunderstanding the model, but I thought tags were placed at the external book level while verse, topic, subject, person, etc. links were placed at the internal word, sentence, and or paragraph level. Thus, while a given document might have five or six external tags, it might also have hundreds, or even thousands, of internal links. Thus, for example, if I want to see what my library says about Romans 10:9, the search function returns 1000+ results in a second or two, each of which incorporates the name of a document in my library, and the location(s) within that document where Romans 10:9 is addressed. And, all I have to do is click on an entry in that results list to be taken directly to the location within the referenced document. To accomplish that same result with reader editions, I would suspect the AI would have to read every word in every reader edition in the collection. Ouch!

    3. And, even then, the AI would only be able to identify the locations; not insert internal links to them. So you'd have to pull up a document itself and then go to the referenced location, instead of just clicking on the entry in the results list.

    4. I think I have seen some books with both a reader edition and a research edition, with the latter at a slightly higher price. A couple of thoughts: 1.) the reader edition should be priced competitively with the major ebook sellers, if it is just meant to be read cover to cover. How useful is an Amazon or epub bible? 2.) The reader edition is good for the person who just wants to read it, and has no plans to do anything else with it. I have purchased Amazon or epub because of price difference and because I only intended to read it once. 3.) Logos needs to be more careful of quality in reader editions. I am currently reading "Pagan Christianity" (Barna & ?) and there are a lot of little errors both in the text and in the footnotes: missing spaces, wrong hyphens, broken words. These should be caught by proofreaders. I have started (missed 1st quarter of book) reporting typos, but am starting to wonder if Logos is hoping for free proofreading instead of hiring someone. 4.) With the exception of things like cook books or books that are obviously just for entertainment (romance novels), a lot of the reader editions need to be offered as research editions, and offered to Logos users who bought the reader edition for the difference between the reader and research editions. Such pricing would fit with the dynamic pricing model. I also think this pricing should apply even if the reader edition were made from one edition of a book and the research edition made from a subsequent edition (same author) (I recognize that the 2nd edition of a title in a commentary series may not be the same author and essentially same content)

  • I remember a video but cannot find it - It was a video that helped take the #tags in the MP Seminars Collections document and get them replicated in your library's #tag column. I found a video showing how to get the document and it covers how the tags are preloaded but can't be transferred. I seem to recall another video that shows a "hack" to get them into your library faster, even if they can't be transferred. Did I dream this whole thing?

    2. Personally, I think he should have the Collections —> Tagging in the "Tag Your Books" video. But, hey, I'm not the one making the videos … thankfully.

    3. It definitely would've been more intuitive and easier to find, but I'm grateful for these groups and our ability to help each other.

    4. - sorry for the delay; we tried to post a reply and there was an error over the weekend. thanks for the assist! - great question; Josh used this as a weekly workout this week, but sounds like you've got it. Let us know if you need more assistance!

  • Is there a way to use a reverse interlinear with a bible in a mobile device. I have an iPhone.

    2. Jim Dean, that is an astonishing collection! Thanks for sharing.
    3. I use an iPhone 16 Pro and it is very similar to the desktop app. If you split the tile, then add your fav interlinear .. linking the 2 tiles together works well ( busy small screen, but well).

    4. Try the web app. Open a bible and click the interlinear icon.

  • I've finished "Camp Logos for Logos Subscriptions" and am working on "Camp Logos 2 for Logos 10". I just finished the "Tag Your Books" section. I've downloaded the Group's Collections and am proceeding with tagging in bits of time here and there as Joshua Rowe advises. I've discovered that when I start the tagging, Windows 11 Task Manager shows that Logos is using about 1 GB of memory. After a while, I note that Logos is using about 3.5 GB (about 60% of available) and response time is getting slower and slower. Completely shutting down Logos and restarting it fixes this (at least in my experience so far).

  • Dear Staff, Just joined MP seminars. How do I get added to the Group, access shared docs, rebates, etc.? Thanks, Mike

    2. If you Login to your mpseminars.com account, the dashboard has a bullet point right at the top with a link to a brand new mini course we created because of some confusion around the process of document sharing. It will cover the foundations of how document sharing works, and give specifics about documents we share as part of specific courses or that we mention in webinars.
