Through the years as I’ve taught discipleship and spiritual formation classes, I’ve encouraged people to pray Paul’s prayers for others and themselves. For example, Ephesians 3:14-19 is one of my favorites in which Paul prays that Christ will dwell...
I was recently studying 1 Peter 3:18 which in the ESV ends with: being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit Using the inline interlinear feature I observed at the beginning of the first clause was a Greek word (μέν or men) that...
As you well know, the Bible was not written in English but rather the Old Testament in Hebrew (with a little Aramaic) and the New Testament in Greek. Thus, when searching in the Bible, it’s better to search in the original languages of Hebrew and...
Recently I’ve been asked basically the same question from various Logos users. The gist of the question goes like this: I own numerous multi-volume sets of commentaries. In the Library when I drag over a volume from the set to the Prefer these...
With the vast number of resources available in the Logos base package libraries, it’s easy for a valuable resource to get overlooked if we’re not careful. A case in point is the Lexham Geographic Commentary on the Gospels available in the standard...
If you read this Logos blog on a regular basis you know I’m a big fan of the Bible Browser because I refer to it often. Well, once again I’ll mention it because it answers a user’s question emailed to me: How do I search in Logos 7 for everything...
Today’s blog is based on a question from a Logos user who is digging deep into the Hebrew text: I am trying to find every instance in the OT where the Hebrew words are in an exact sequence. For instance, if I search in English for “who did...
Just like English words, a lot of Hebrew and Greek words have multiple possible meanings. Many lexicons, therefore, list all the possibilities for these biblical words. Some Hebrew and Greek dictionaries will also give biblical references where...
Today’s blog post centers around a question I periodically answer from users and it was emailed to me again recently. Hopefully this little trick will help you out sometime. The most recent question went something like this: I’m studying Ephesians...
I recently received the following scenario from a Logos user: I’m studying a Greek word that is translated “walk” as in Ephesians 4:1. When I generate a Bible Word Study report for the Greek lemma I see all the ways the lemma is translated in my...
I have recently been rereading the magnificent book, The Unseen Realm, by Faithlife’s own, Dr. Michael Heiser. If you have yet to order and study this material, I wholeheartedly encourage you to do so! Whether you agree, disagree or just scratch...
A Logos user emailed this question to me: I executed an Inline Search, but how do I export the results? Perhaps you’ve experienced this scenario as well. If so, take heart; there is a solution. Because of the nature of an Inline Search, the results...
In response to last week’s blog post a fellow Logos user asked the following question: Thanks for the helpful tip, but I have a slightly different scenario. How do I add embedded cross references in a Bible to a Passage List since the references...
Seeing a biblical or world event in its historical context can certainly aid our understanding of the event. Toward the end of discovering historical context, Logos Bible Software provides the tool appropriately called Timeline. Today’s blog post is...
If you’re like me, as you’re reading a meaty book such as a theology or hermeneutics resource, you’re paying close attention to the biblical passages the author includes in each chapter. Often as we reread the verses, we’re reviewing the content of...
In a recent blog post I erroneously communicated we could not make copies of Logos files. I was thinking of the absence of that feature on the Documents menu, but I totally forgot about making copies at documents.logos.com. So in this blog post...
In his FaithlifeTV lecture series, The Unseen Realm, Dr. Michael S. Heiser noted that the Hebrew word elohim, most often translated God, nonetheless is translated other ways in our English Bibles. With my curiosity piqued, I wanted to discover those...
Most Bibles are written in paragraph form with verse numbers buried in the paragraphs. That can make finding verse numbers a little challenging as we exegete a passage verse by verse. That’s what prompted a fellow Logs user to email me the following...
Like many Christians during this season, I’ve been rereading the Christmas story in Matthew and Luke. Of course, in Matthew we find the Magi visiting Jesus at some point after his birth. Famously they testified, we saw his star when it rose. Without...
As you well know Logos Bible Software is huge, with many features. Depending on your wants and methods of study and lesson preparation, you may not need all that Logos has to offer. So I always tell people at Camp Logos, Use what you need, but...
I certainly hope you’ve discovered and are enjoying the Logos 7 Sermon Editor! This “multi-document creating word processor” continues to expand with new and improved features. The recent release of Logos 7.10 contains two big new enhancements:...
If you’re a preacher, teacher, or Bible study leader you probably have a fairly consistent approach to study and/or preparation. In other words, you may go through the same steps of lesson development each week. For example, I personally follow my...
At a recent Camp Logos an attendee asked this question: Can we execute a Match all word forms search with an Inline search? First, I’ll give a little explanation. On the Search panel menu resides the option to Match all word forms. With this feature...
I recently received this question from a fellow Logos user: I’m often in the midst of my study when I have to close Logos to move on to other tasks for the day. Is there a way to open the program to the desktop arrangement I had when I closed the...
My mentor years ago told me that outside of the Bible, one of the most important books to have in my library is a good hymnal (or two or three or more!). In light of that I was thrilled to recently receive the following question from a fellow Logos...
