During the SBL national meeting in Washington DC, we’ll be doing a session on Syntactically Annotated editions of the Greek New Testament. Here’s the info: Session: 20-101 — Syntactically-Tagged Databases of the Greek NT: Overview &...
I’m in a small group home Bible study, and we’re studying Colossians. My Father-in-Law leads the study, but he and Mom were on a short vacation last week so that means I got to sit in the hotseat. Our text was Col 2.1-7. So Col 2.2 was...
If you’ve looked at the list of Greek New Testaments contained in Scholar’s Library (and Silver, and Gold) in any detail, you’ve likely noticed that both the UBS4 and NA27 texts are included. I’m sure you’re asking...
Some syntax graphs are small. Others (e.g. Rom 1.1-6; Titus 1.1-4; Col 1.3-8) are huge. Sometimes it’s nice to zoom in and out to get a picture of the whole structure, or the extent of the clause. And that can be hard to do using the zoom...
Most folks are very familiar with the first part of John 3.16, “For God so loved the world”. In the OpenText.org Clause Analysis, that phrase is a Primary Clause (PC), and the word translated “loved” (ἀγαπάω) is the...
Last week, I posted about syntax searching for “fronted complements“. Today, I ran the same search with a slight preference change. Here’s the result. Can you see what’s new in this screenshot? What’s different here...
In Logos Bible Software, context-sensitive help is available from dialogs or reports just by pressing the help button. But sometimes you might just want to read the manual. And you can do that too, because the manual is a book in the system...
Awhile back, I blogged on Sleepy Disciples. That blog post looked at the predicator (verb) προσεύχομαι and the different adjuncts that modified each of its occurrences in Matthew 26. Looking at that passage again, I noticed the following embedded...
A user commented on a recent post: On the OpenText site, , Matthew Brook O’Donnell mentions the ability to find THEOS and AGAPE within the same word group. I have not been able to do that yet, probably because I can’t yet figure out the...
An earlier post on the Bible Word Study Grammatical Relationships feature garnered the following comment. I inserted the referenced graphic as well. When I do what you did, I get everything except the side by side translations of the passage as you...
Hi folks, I’m back after an extended holiday. And for an upcoming home group study, I’m starting to work through the epistle to the Colossians. So I’ve been reading it recently. In reading, I came across Colossians 1.9, which has...
One thing I use the Bible Speed Search feature for is to do quick searches of the New Testament for a Greek word, but display my hits in English. Huh? Yes, I type in a Greek lemma, but the results are provided in English with the proper English word...
It seems a good thing to have one place we can point to for a listing of all of the posts on the Bible Word Study report. So here it is. If you’ve recently stumbled across the Logos Bible Software Blog, then you’ve likely missed some of...
This is the seventh and final portion of my series on the Bible Word Study (BWS) report. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve blogged on this topic, but it is time to wrap up the thread. Since we’ve only discussed how the Bible Word...
Logos Bible Software 3 offers syntactic databases for the Hebrew Bible and for the Greek New Testament. Some of these resources (the Andersen-Forbes Analyzed Text and Phrase Marker Analysis and also the OpenText.org Syntactically Analyzed Greek New...
Once again, in the home group study, I ran across a phrase that caused me to ask a question. This time I’m in First Thessalonians 5.2 and the phrase is “day of the Lord”. Earlier, I’d searched for “What other things...
Awhile back, I blogged on how syntax graphs aren’t just helpful when it comes to searching. They can be very helpful when reading through the text as well. And they can help one organize thoughts and approach when teaching or preaching on a...
As folks who have followed these syntax search examples know, I’ve been in a home group Bible study that is going over First Thessalonians. This has served as the background for many of these syntax search examples. In the process of doing...
In previous blog posts, I’ve focused on how the syntax databases we offer are used when searching, when asking questions of the text. But this is not the only use. I don’t even know if it will end up being the primary use. I was reminded...
This is the sixth post in my on-going series on the Bible Word Study (BWS) report. This post will look into the Lemma Report sections of the BWS report. To refresh our collective memories, we’re looking at 1Th 2.16. Here it is in the reverse...
On the Logos Newsgroups, a user asked a question about syntax searching: I’d like to search for every instance of the construction in Heb 1:2 — ἐν υἱῷ – i.e. ἐν followed by noun without article … Also (I think) in 1 Thess 1:5...
One feature request that we’ve had a lot in the past 10 years or so runs something like this: So, I have this Greek word. I want to know all the ways it is translated in the New Testament. How do I do that? Another similar question is...
This is the fifth post in my on-going series on the Bible Word Study (BWS) report. This post will look into the Translation section of the BWS report. To refresh our collective memories, we’re looking at 1Th 2.16. Here it is in the reverse...
If you’ve read this blog for awhile, you may be asking yourself, “Why Syntax?” That is, why is it such a big deal in Logos Bible Software 3? We’ve recently posted an article on our web site by Dr. Mike Heiser, who serves as...
The other day I was listening to a song that was repeating the phrase “in the name” in the context of the name of Christ. I wondered: What sorts of things in the New Testament are done “in the name”? To OpenText.org-ify it a...
This is the second part of the fourth post in my on-going series on the Bible Word Study report. This post will look a little further into the Grammatical Relationships section. Our previous foray into the Grammatical Relationships section is here...
I was reading in 1Th 3.5 the other day and came across the phrase “for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you” (ESV). Here it is in the ESV NT Reverse Interlinear: You can see the phrase highlighted using some of our new Visual...
