You can get that deal right here. Time for some more honesty. Some of those books are helpful. After all, you need some resources in order to pull off any amazing feats of Logosmanship. For example, I found out how long the books of the Bible are using the Word Lists feature. That feature lets me make a spreadsheet of every word in the Bible. Nifty, right? But that only works if I have some Hebrew and Greek Bibles on hand to pull the words from. I own about 4, resources in Logos format.
Is it less expensive? That depends on the prices of the books you choose to add! What if I go with the feature sets—can I save any money on those books?
Logos tries to cover their costs ahead of time before taking on the task of integrating new titles into their system. They do this by first making sure that there are enough people out there who even want a given book or collection of books. For even more obscure or high-involvement books, Logos has the Community Pricing program. Instead, they turn pricing over to the Logos users. People bid on the book at various prices—as soon as enough bids are made at a certain price point to cover the cost of producing the book in Logos, the price is set, and the resource moves into Pre-Pub which we just covered.
Are you in seminary, Bible college, or taking any higher-ed course on theology? You can kick off that process here. Sometimes these books are top-notch. Other times, meh. You can go to this page on Logos. Many of his sermons were published each week and regularly sold more than 25, copies in 20 languages.

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.
