I know Logos aficionados will disagree but much of what has been called “exegetical tools” in Logos has really been subpar compared to more powerful exegetical programs. I will try to relay what I learn here and pass on items that are useful to expositors (please feel free to share your ideas here as well).įor my tastes, Logos has only recently come into a realm that is helpful for doing real exegetical work. I will also be attending a BibleWorks training seminar next month in Birmingham and then a Logos training seminar this summer. I’m no expert but I have taught BibleWorks and have learned Logos from some of the best. My goal will be to help expositors who own these programs make better use of what they have at their fingertips.
Starting in March I will do a regular update on various features and functions related to these Bible software programs. With a little help, I believe these programs can trim time off the study process (primarily through search abilities) and allow for more time in thoughtful study and reflection over the text. I have friends who swear by Grammcord (but of course all Mac guys are that way). I started using BibleWorks around 4.0 and Logos on and off for about the last 9 years. With tools like BibleWorks 7.0, Logos 3 (Libronix), and Grammcord/Accordance (for Macs) there are resources that will satisfy almost any preference when it comes to serious Bible study.
This is the golden age of computer software which is useful to the Bible expositor.
