I recently received the following scenario from a fellow Logos user:
Normally I study passages so I open my preferred Bible to a specific text to exegete. Inevitably during my research, I leave the passage to look up cross-references. Is there a quick way to return to the passage I’m studying without retying the reference or using the history feature? [Read more…]
A college student contacted me with the following scenario:
I’m taking a homiletics course and need to find the Greek words translated “preach” in the New Testament. How can this be accomplished in Logos?

If you’re a preacher, teacher, or small group leader, there’s a good chance this scenario has happened to you:
You’re reading in a commentary, study guide, book of outlines, or journal where you come across a list of Scripture verses the author mentions.

I recently received this question from a fellow Logos user:
How do you read just the passages in a book that you have highlighted? I like to review my highlights but cannot find that option in Logos 8.
This is a great question. And once I point out how to now accomplish this task in Logos 8, I think you’ll agree this is an excellent enhancement:
