Logos 7 bible software download

Are they writing that commentary from the perspective of a Lutheran in the s or as a Pentecostal from ? These are the things a wise student of the Bible will take into consideration—and Logos helps you do that. I anticipate this being very, very helpful to seminary students! These are the two biggest new things you can do with Logos 9. In , I told Logos to highlight every command or instruction in the Bible in red.

Now any time I come across a command verb in the Bible, it shows up in red like this:. Which is cool. But when I set up that filter in Logos Bible Software, the technology points it out for me. This was an eye-opening Logos moment for me. It was easy to turn on—just a few clicks:. But just like that, you can tell Logos to catch key related words that would otherwise slip right past you!

A cheer went up from all Logos users when this new feature was announced. But the good folks at Faithlife put together a tool that lets you browse the New Testament for uses of the Old Testament. And just like that, Logos gives me a report of every time the book of Isaiah is directly quoted in the New Testament! There are few times I use Logos without putting this tool to work for me.

For example, have you ever seen my list of all the one-another commands in the New Testament? I followed a few simple steps. I started with a one-another command I knew, and then a few clicks did most of the work for me after that. You know that post I did on the authors of the Bible? I wrote that in a few hours. I knew who the traditional authors were beforehand, but I still needed to write up quick profiles on each of them.

Normally, that would mean opening all my Bible dictionaries and piecing stuff together from the various accounts. It pulls up any media in my library on Ezra. It pulls in the biblical events Ezra takes part in. It shows me the Bible dictionary articles on Ezra. It also pulls up a timeline for the character, a list of relatives, and links to further explore his roles and the like.

I finally feel like I can look up any biblical figure, place, or thing and find everything related to that person. I think of it like a meta-encyclopedia to the Bible: it gives me a high-level look at the people or whatever in question, then gives me lots of links to explore.

I grew up doing Bible word studies with print books. Instead, I can turn on the Interlinear Ribbon, and all this information floats right below the Bible like so:.

Suppose you want to find all the places where God talks about David. That would take DAYS to do by myself. But I did that in about 15 seconds with Logos just now. I kid you not. In fact, you can download the results by clicking here. I am reeling with ideas for blog posts based on this function alone:. You can even browse the whole Bible by the words spoken to God. This gives you a look at every single prayer and petition and conversation directed toward a member of the Trinity. The Logos team has gone through the Bible tagging words with their basic definitions.

Now we can finally search the Bible by meaning instead of just by word. But with Logos, I can just search the Bible for every time the angel sense is used. I could just read the book, do some cross references, and start plugging away at the study. But in Logos, I can look up the passage and get a high-level idea of some ancient cultural concepts in this book of the Bible:.

As you can see, some of these are a lot more helpful than others. You can probably see how helpful that is to me and the OverviewBible team when it comes to unpacking the books of the Bible in study guides, infographics, and the like.

I can also see this being a huge help when it comes to writing sermons, preparing seminary lessons, and the like. Remember the first time you read the story of manna falling from heaven? Sweet-tasting bread just shows up all over the land like snow! The people who gathered too much just ended up with nasty, wormy mush the next morning. But you know what always bothered me about that passage?

So an omer is 1. Good on ya! You just KNOW that one of these curious 7-year-olds is going to ask just how big the ark was.

With this tool, you can come up with not just one, but FIVE tangible examples to share with them! You can get an even more tangible idea of just how massive cubits is—using whales, bridges, airplanes, busses, and semi trucks as reference points. We can still right-click any word in my Bible to see what the original Greek or Hebrew word is.

And we can still search the whole Bible or just specific books for places where that word is used. This is the best tool out there. Here are a few factors that might make Logos a pretty bad choice for you:. I have really been looking at Logos for the last few years. I have a pastor friend that bought it 3 years back and loves it.

A professor we had in seminary loved logos and shared his thought with us on the software. Is there a trial that be tried out before purchasing? Sorry for the questions. I have Scholars Library. Logos Bible Software 3. I have never downloaded it. Is it too late to use this program I understand there were updates which of course I did not get. This was quite a sacrifice for me at the time. Can I use it like it is? Gratefully, Judy Marks. Hi, Judy! Hmm, Logos 3 was a long time ago.

It might be good to call Logos Customer Service and ask them what the best way to use your library on your current machine is. Hi Jeff, Thanks for the review. I am just a lay guy from India who is interested in doing serious bible studies. Which package would you recommend considering the cost factor also? Hi, Deep! I really, really find Silver to be the best deal—but you can start with a smaller package and upgrade later.

I am old and old-fashioned, so I like paper! Watching screens for long periods of time can be pretty tiring. Hi, Lynne! You can read a resource cover to cover in Logos. It was stupid expensive and unless you have LOTS of time to watch their little videos or can spend hours figuring it out, I highly recommend against it.

I bought 7 and within about 2 months they said they would no longer support 7, to upgrade to 8. So, not sure about their truthfullness. Usually, when I try to use it, it spends a lot of time updating and slowing down the entire PC.

By then, I am done with the message. Just a massive, expensive disappointment. One of them is much easier to use and much less expensive—and if all you need to get from point A to point B. The other one is, well, the Batmobile. Does the basic or any cheaper versions have things like this? How well does Logos synchronize across platforms? Then I take my iPad to the coffee shop to hang out with the cool kids.

Can I continue where I left off at home? On the way to church I drop my iPad. Can I whip out my trusty Android phone and access the lesson? Hello Jeffrey, thank you so much for the post. I have just one question: Does the Silver edition of the Logos 8 include interlinear old and new testament bibles?

Hi, Pablo. You can also view the English and original-language passages side by side in the Exegetical Guide. I have been with Logos since the first CD. I truly believe that Logos Software should not be purchased after purchasing 5,6,7 now 8 upgrades. Every edition comes with new books that are formulated into the search tools so that your past editions and most of your separately purchased books are not searched properly for content.

This means that only a select group of books, for that edition are properly searched and displayed. So all the past editions, all the past separate book purchased are not properly used if at all.

I have found that E-Sword and Olive tree are better and that same books are normally half the price of Logos charges. I am saddened to write such a negative review. May Christ Jesus bless you and keep you always. Hey Joseph. The features and datasets are what make it worth my while. I have a Logos 7 Platinum and was wondering to upgrade to Logos 8 Platinum. Not sure whether it is worth is and whether or not I can use the discount from you to do it?

Hey, Alex! Really depends on what you use Logos 7 for. I just ordered Logos8, Platinum. Thank you for your review, it helped to solidify my decision. I already owned Logos7 and use it all the time, but can benefit from putting more time to learn all the features. I would highly recommend the software for anyone who is serious about Bible study. I have been using Logos at the time I started — Gramcord since and during Seminary.

I have owned it for a time now and actually regret investing in it. Like today I was trying I was trying to work on a teaching. It was downloading updates. I cancelled the download and then found out it was doing it anyway. I agree with you on your comments, and then some. I have Logos 7, along with thousands of titles. Full disclosure, I am a scholar and have taught theology at graduate and undergraduate levels. A friend of mine, a grad student in theology, worked for Faithlife.

She told me a colleague there told her she was wasting her time learning Greek because Logos does it all for you. That is a chilling but telling remark. I use Logos for Bible study and it is hardly—very. Thanks for this article, spread the word. Apparently I get the discount for Verbum base packages, but not for Standard Gold. Hi Jennings! The coupon only applies to new base package purchases, not upgrades.

FYI I had to talk to two different sales reps, but they got the coupon to go through as desired. Hi Jeffrey…would you think the stater pack would worth? You can read my thoughts on it here. When you wrote this info in — what version of Logos gives the details that you referenced?

Please advise. Hi, Kim! I think most of my examples here rely on features that are available at the Bronze level. Curious how the date at the top of the article says Oct 23, , but some comments say they were posted 2 years ago.

Did I lose a year-and-a-half of my life somewhere? Jeffrey, nice review. The Batman-Batmobile analogy was especially good, as was the decision flowchart for those considering purchasing. I was wondering if you have any suggestions for improvements for Logos 7? Abram J-K mentioned a few in his Logos 7 review. Good question on the date discrepancy. I was paid nothing up front for writing this review.

I was invited to try Logos 6 in and Logos 7 in before they were released, and as far as I know, I was under no obligation to review either. On the other hand, that early invitation to try Logos 6 and 7 was a nice treat.

I just added a few notes on this to the article in case future folks have similar questions. Of course, I used Logos before I was an affiliate. I owe much of the content on this site to that tool!

Many years ago when Apple came out with the iPhone, the Bible software did not support it, I wrote them several emails telling them that it would be worth their while to include Apples IOS for their customers who liked the Apple products, they evidentially did not believe me as they were not interested at the time.

As a side note several years after that they did make it available for the iPhone and other Apple products. Anyway, I started looking around and since I had already heard of Logos Bible software I gave it a look and have not regretted it. It is my go to Bible software, it offers such a wide variety of products to go along with it and is so easy to integrate all the tools.

Recently, they rolled out distinctive base packages for many faith traditions, evangelical, Lutheran, Pentacostal, etc. It features a protestant Bible version, Lexham Engish Bible LEB , as well as the Lexham Bible Dictionary, lots of photos and infographics, reading plans, and other resources, and group study features. All of the platforms are interchangeable.

So content you purchase at Verbum. Might there be one that does? You can also use my code when you call sales. Thank you, it does! I already had an Academic Discount, and wanted to see if another would work. But now I know: no stacking. I currently own Logos 5 Gold and love it. It really depends on what you want to do. The team built a really extensive comparison chart of all the packages; you should check that out, as well!

I tired to use the coupon and logos said it was not valid and would not honor it. Pretty disappointing. I just tried it out in checkout and it works fine. Wow…great overview of the New Logos 6.

Can you give some details about your search for when God spoke to David? These can be read every day, every week, or on specific days of the week. To conclude, Logos Bible Software is a useful utility aimed at people who want to enhance their knowledge of the Bible and learn the important lessons it is meant to convey. Logos Bible Software.
