BibleAndTech: Logos 5 Review - Part 1

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 08:00:00 GMT

I've only had a little while to work with the new Logos 5, but it looks to be a very nice upgrade. I've been a long-time user of Logos, so this review primarily reflects what someone who is now using Logos 4 will discover in the new version.

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 08:00:00 GMT

I started using Logos 4 two months ago for a review I finished last week. Now version 5 is released today. But 4 had been out several years, so v. 5 has been in the works for some time. Having had and used Logos 5 for a few days now, I want to offer an initial set of impressions by way of review.

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 08:00:00 GMT

First things first. I love the new Clause Search feature in Logos 5. Personally, this is my favorite feature, and a prime example of the potential of Reverse Interlinears and semantic-based databases, two of the key areas that Logos has been focusing on in recent years.

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 08:00:00 GMT

I honestly did not expect a new version of Logos to come out anytime soon, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn that a new version was set to launch on Nov. 1.

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 08:00:00 GMT

Connecting people, places, and things within the Bible, connecting users to other students of the Bible and connecting you to God’s Word is what Logos does best.

Stand to Reason: Best Bible Study Tool

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 08:00:00 GMT

As Christians, we're supposed to be diligent students of the Bible. But it's pretty seldom that we're actually taught how to study the Bible beyond reading it. Further, as Christians interested in defending the Bible, Amy Hall has pointed out that we need to be students of the Bible - we need to understand what we're defending and be able to explain the Bible to critics.

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 08:00:00 GMT

The growth of Logos Bible Software in recent years has transformed their downtown community of Bellingham, Washington. With the release of Logos 5they have transformed the nature of Bible study technology. I decided to do a thorough review of the new version because it partly fulfills the vision I have described on this blog for the past few years.

Zwinglius Redividus: More on Logos 5: Reading Plans

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 08:00:00 GMT

Earlier versions of Logos also allowed users to construct their own ‘reading plans’ but it’s a feature certainly worth highlighting once again. Simply put, the ‘reading plan’ utility is one of my absolute favorite. I’ve already constructed one to use to read the Hebrew Bible through in 2013 and one for the Greek New Testament as well. But, given my absolute adoration of organization, I’ve also made one for TLOT and one for Gesenius’ Hebrew Grammar (because it’s been my custom to read a Greek or Hebrew Grammar every few years just to keep things ‘in mind’ since grad school).

WNH Commentary: Windows 8: A Political Insight

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 08:00:00 GMT

These days, managing constant change is a challenge that faces anyone whose life and livelihood involves the use of intelligent electronic devices. The conflicting headlines from two stories I read this week exemplify the situation. One reported: “Designer guru Nielsen: Windows 8 UI ‘smothers usability.’” The other protested: “Why Jakob Nielsen’s Windows 8 critique is old school thinking.” The latter began with the following trenchant observation “Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was once asked what market research went into the creation of the iPad. ‘None,’ Jobs replied, in one of his most celebrated quotes. ‘It’s not the consumers’ job to know what they want.’”
