We’ve talked about how to start up the report with a Greek word from the ESV English-Greek Reverse Interlinear, and we’ve talked about the report header. Today we talk about the KeyLink section of the Bible Word Study report. To refresh...
A few days back, I blogged about the Bible Word Study report. There I talked about how to run the Bible Word Study report on the underlying Greek word from an English text. In that post, we started the process of running a Bible Word Study on the...
I’m in a home Bible study group that is studying First Thessalonians. So I was reading it the other morning, working through the second half of chapter 2. I stumbled across the following. Note the italicised phrase: 14 For you, brothers...
Rubén Gómez, in his Bible Software Review Weblog, gives us an example of Graphical Searches in different software applications. He uses H. Van Dyke Parunak’s article on “Computers and Biblical Studies” in Anchor Yale Bible...
I’ve blogged a bit about the Lexham Syntactic Greek New Testament before. Sure, it’s syntax, and that’s important. But how can it be used? One way is very simple: Use hover popups to show the syntactic force of any word as you read...
Earlier I blogged about Highlighting English based on Greek Morphology. This involved using Logos Bible Software 3 and a Reverse Interlinear of the New Testament to highlight words based on the underlying language’s morphology (word form, part...
Those who have followed the series of posts here regarding the OpenText.org Syntactically Analyzed Greek New Testament (see the syntax category archive) might be interested in the following articles on the OpenText.org site: Guide through the...
When working through a passage, it can be important to work through pronoun usage. Sometimes pronouns have direct referents, sometimes the referents are implied. A familiar example is found in the first three verses of First John: 1 That whicha was...
I was talking with Daniel Foster yesterday afternoon. We were talking about syntax search examples and how they’re different than other sorts of morphological searches. One type of search that we used to rely on the Graphical Query Editor to...
It’s cool to see features and datasets combine in ways that weren’t originally anticipated. Just the other day, Eli and I were talking with Dale Pritchett (VP Marketing and Bob’s father!) and Dale wondered about how to highlight an...
I’m excited about a lot of the features in the upcoming Logos Bible Software 3. One of them that hasn’t received much air time is the Remote Library Search. Huh? That’s right. Remote Library Search. Let’s face it, there are a...
Today’s guest blogger is Ken Smith, General Manager of Electronic Publishing Services at Logos. (This is the next installment in a series of articles about our nearly 60 publishing partners who market their own electronic products using our...
If you’ve read the Logos Bible Software Blog for awhile, you have probably heard us refer to the oh-so-cool automated espresso machine that does its part to keep Logos running smoothly. And you’ve probably seen us refer to the Logos...
Folks who plumb the depths of the Logos Bible Software website probably already know that we have a few desktop backgrounds available for download. But if you are a newer Logos Bible Software user, or a new reader of this blog, you might not have...
One of the new features that is implemented in the now-release-candidate Logos Bible Software 3.0 involves a significant enhancement to our sentence diagrammer. I discussed this back in December 2005 and illustrated the new functionality with a...
I honestly didn’t mean to immediately write another post that refers to another blog, but this one is just too cool. Stephen C. Carlson of the blog Hypotyposeis posts about Power Law in Biblical Citations. Here is the gist; please see his...
I’ve blogged a lot about new resources and capabilities in the realm of Greek syntax over the past months. One piece of that puzzle that I haven’t blogged about at all is a work that is called The Lexham Clausal Outlines of the Greek New...
One of my favorite features in the upcoming Logos Bible Software 3.0 has to be the Bible Word Study report. And my favorite aspect of the Bible Word Study report has to be the Grammatical Relationships section of the report. The Bible Word Study...
In an earlier post, I wrote: You’d be amazed the sorts of things you stumble upon in scrolling through the text and visually recognising similar graph structures in close proximity. One of the things I keep an eye out for when scrolling...
I’ve blogged about the OpenText.org Syntactically Annotated Greek New Testament in the past (see the Syntax Archives). The folks who do the work on the OpenText.org project have been doing a lot of work since I last blogged about the project...
Chances are you have seen or heard about Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia. The idea behind the Wikipedia is to allow creation and editing of articles by just about anyone. The underlying technology is something called a wiki, which is a simplified...
I know, I know, I said I’d blog about searching the Lexham Syntactic Greek New Testament. And I will. Really, I will. But not today. I’ve been working on a different aspect of the Lexham Syntactic Greek New Testament project recently:...
Last week, I posted on the Lexham SGNT “running text”. I mentioned at that time that there are three primary pieces of the Lexham Syntactic Greek New Testament: The Lexham Syntactic Greek New Testament The Lexham Syntactic Greek New...
Awhile back, I posted about the Lexham Syntactic Greek New Testament (Lexham SGNT). At that time, I mentioned I’d blog about the makeup of that project. It’s been nearly two weeks since that post. But now it is time to make good and...
When approaching a text, one of the initial steps of exegesis is to do some general background study, thus becoming familiar with the larger context of a passage. If I’m looking at a passage in First John, I should have a decent idea of the...
I’ve posted in the past regarding a project we’ve been working on with the good folks at OpenText.org; to make their syntactic analysis of the entire Greek New Testament available in Logos Bible Software. It is a massive project, and it...
As mentioned earlier on this blog, Eli and I presented papers at the meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) describing how Logos is moving beyond the word level into syntax of the original languages. Eli’s paper (approx. 350 KB...
I’ve briefly discussed searching OpenText.org material at the word level; this post discusses searching at the clause level, with word group level stuff in the mix. There’s even a groovy video of the search I describe so you can see...
So, the other day, I had printed out a sentence diagram of Mark 1.16-20 and was evaluating it while making coffee (triple americano, no milk or sugar messing it up) at the Logos espresso machine. Heidie from accounting walks by. “What’s...
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted about Greek syntax. In the interim, Eli has been regaling us with graph theory and all sorts of other chunky syntactical goodness. Well, the drought is over. Word groups are cool, but clauses are more...
