I’ve been a Bibleworks (when I used PC’s – now also on MacOS) and now Accordance (originally MacOS, now also PC) user for many years but it’s clear to me that drilling down into your library is a task much more easily and effectively accomplished on Logos.Īnd that’s just for starters. This is where the massive library that you can quickly accumulate with Logos comes into play. Let’s have a look at that thorny question of predestination… Looking for a particular topic also produces a raft of possibilities. Logos also provides a detailed exegetical guide: As I scroll down the smörgåsbord continues parallel passages (Logos has identified that Jeremiah 49:14 might be well worth looking at), dictionary articles on relevant topics (such as cultural concepts in the text), maps of locations and so on. For most of us the commentaries are going to be our primary go-to resources but I’ve also got a lot out of reading the Ancient Literature and simply tracing the geography of the books that I’m preaching through. Of course this is a small sample of the total available hits. So, for example, here’s the opening rush of resources provided to you as you begin your exposition of (let’s say) Obadiah… Any piece of work in Logos tends to begin either in a topic or in a passage of scripture. It’s difficult to comprehend the power of this library until you see it yourself.
LOGOS THEOLOGICAL WORDBOOK OF THE OLD TESTAMENT SOFTWARE
If you’re looking for a single piece of software that will hold and synergise your electronic Biblical and Theological resources then it’s hard to look past Logos. Since those days Logos has come a long way but at its heart remains the ethos of the Libronix idea – a massively integrated library. It was a useful piece of software, allowing quick research and facilitating cross-referencing through a set of internal hyperlinks.Īt the time I was also using Bibleworks as I slogged my way through Bible College and out into the world of full-time ordained ministry in a church.
I first encountered what is today known as Logos Bible Software when over 10 years ago I purchased a CD-Rom (remember them?) containing the then Libronix library system and a copy of the Word Biblical Commentary.
