What is Logos?
“Logos is the most powerful, versatile Bible study tool for digging into the Word for Bible studies, small groups, and yourself.”
“Logos is a Bible study platform that equips you to go deeper into Scripture through a fusion of content and powerful technology.”
Logos is PC program or mobile app that enable people to study the Bible in a way that is simply not available in any other solution.
Why I like Logos?
I have been in Renovare group bible studies for many years and enjoy the group discussion and the studies we do together. But, when I am reading the bible, I often find myself asking questions. Wondering what the biblical text means, I would look at my study bible notes or google “got questions” or other trusted sources on the web, but I did not interact with the Greek or Hebrew, which seemed such a daunting endeavor. Logos, with it’s reverse interlinear and word study tool, makes viewing the meanings of the Hebrew or Greek words easier and searchable, enabling new ways to study Biblical themes that run through out the Bible. Logos with it’s powerful search tools and internal linking between all it’s commentaries, dictionaries and other books allows me to study the bible and dig deeper on my own. At the same time, it allows me to focus on the bible text unlike I have been able to do in the past.
Logos Free Edition
I learned a couple years ago that logos can be downloaded for free. I used the free edition for a couple years and recently upgraded to their premium subscription. The free edition comes with most of the features and resources to get you started. It includes the largest bible dictionary ever made. If printed, the Lexham Bible dictionary would be 4000 pages. It also includes the ESV and Lexham study bibles. Learn more and download the free version, https://www.logos.com/free-edition.
I have invested in additional Bible dictionaries and commentaries to enhance my study. I recommend referring to https://bestcommentaries.com/ and look for commentaries from respected evangelical biblical scholars like D.A Carson, Douglas Moo and Wayne Grudem.
Logos has a learning curve, but I believe worth the effort to do so. If you want to talk more about Logos, reach out to me.
