Since it not only offers a synopsis of the top search results but also provides citations for the Logos resources it consulted, you can verify the answers you get and easily follow the linked citations to dig deeper.

Search got smarter so that you can get better answers!

2. New sections in Factbook for Bible Passages

Get a 360° view of any Bible passage! When using Factbook to study a passage, you can now easily navigate to study the people, places, events, and speeches it mentions.

For example, if you’re studying Genesis 15, quickly display all the things and people included in the account, each place referenced, as a breakdown of its speeches and events.

See how Factbook further empowers your Bible research.

The Content Innovation team emphasized how cool it is to see data that was collected years ago and has been mostly hidden get presented to users in a valuable and compelling way.
