If you haven't given Logos 5 a look, you really need to. LogosBible Software Version 5 is one of the best bible software programs on the
market and for me it's the only one worth using. I've used other top shelf
Bible programs but nothing compares to Logos.
As a
church planter and a fulltime minister it's important for me to have tools that
are not only high quality but also tools that make my study time more
productive. That's exactly what Logos 5 does. Not only does Logos 5 have
quality resources like BDAG and Halot (Greek and Hebrew Lexicons) as well as the
"Word Biblical Commentary" and the "New International Commentaryon the New and Old Testaments" but it also has speed and connectivity. In
the amount of time it would take me to go to my physical book shelf and get a book I can have hundreds of books
open and waiting in Logos.
The interconnectivity
or linking between these Logos books is also what makes it an invaluable
resource. Let's say I'm studying Revelation and Apocalyptic literature.
It's easy to open up a search that will search my entire library for resources
related to Apocalyptic literature.
In my library
when I do this it gives me 26 results in 26 resources. One of those resources
is the "Journal of Biblical Literature" volume 105. When I open that
resource I find links to other material such as the biblical text of Daniel as
well as the Dead Sea Scrolls. A quick click on the link and I have the Dead Sea Scrolls opened up and I'm read the source material.
Along
with my role as a preacher of God's word I am also a student at Knox Theological Seminary perusing a Masters in Christian and Classic Studies. Logos5 has also been an invaluable tool for my class work as well. Below you will
find a few videos I created to share with my fellow Knox students showing how
Logos can be used to help study the classics.
It's my
opinion that every Christian, researcher, preacher, teacher, and student should
have Logos Bible Software 5 running on their computer. And what's great is that
Logos has different base Packages ranging from the basic to the advanced.
Give my
friend at Logos, Dave Kaplan, a call 1-360-685-2304
(or one of the other fantastic sales agents 1-800-875-6467) or drop him an

package is right for you.
