Logos 4 for Mac
Logos 4 for Mac has finally been released, and it is, in my opinion, THE best bible and study software available. Like other Bible study software, it comes with a library of Bibles, concordances, commentaries, and Hebrew and Greek lexicons, in addition to vast libraries of books on theology, doctrine, devotionals, and Christian living. Everything – everything – is cross referenced, so if you are, for instance, reading Matthew, and you stumble across “But seek first the Kingdom of God…” and you want to find out more about what this means, you can very easy launch into an in-depth study, by doing any or all of the following:
- Right click on “Kingdom” to pop up a menu of options.
- From there, you can find out what the Greek word that is translated “Kingdom” meant.
- …or link to all other verses that use that word
- …or open up a number of commentaries (such as Spurgeon’s The Gospel of the Kingdom) and other Bible study companions that speak to this subject
- …or find passages of from other books, like Sermon on the Mount: The Message of the Kingdom, by Kent Hughes.
- …or open up the same passage in many other Bible translations and see charts that visualize the differences between them
- …or look up clip art, pictures, or music that is relevant to this subject
- …or add your own notes
- …or add notes from the passage itself or any of the other resources to a study document you are creating within Logos.
- …or look up information about the time, culture, and geographical location within which Jesus gave this message
- …and LOTS of other things.
It would take many words to fully cover all of Logos’ capabilities, but whether you are a pastor or just someone wanting to go deeper in your study of the Bible, Logos is absolutely the best tool available.
