Pre-order the New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology and Exegesis

| Wed, September 17, 2014 | Products 6

new-international-dictionary-of-new-testament-theology-and-exegesisThe New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology and Exegesis (NIDNTTE) is now available for pre-order! This collection is the second edition of one of the most valuable resources for pastors, teachers, and scholars for over 40 years.

The collection’s first edition was edited by Colin Brown and featured contributions from highly acclaimed scholars such as James D.G. Dunn and D.A. Carson. While this edition was treasured for over 35 years, the new edition, edited by Moisés Silva, will continue its legacy by assisting scholars around the world in their biblical study.

Enhance your Greek studies & more

The NIDNTTE provides you with Greek reference tools and its striking exegetical discussion of New Testament vocabulary.

Even if you already own the first edition, this new version will equip you with distinct and exciting new features. You’ll immediately notice new discussions and revisions, including the change of its alphabetical arrangement and overall uniformity.

Rather than searching for an English topic in order to find the desired Greek word, you now have the advantage of starting your searches with the Greek word itself. This transformation saves users a great deal of time whether looking up one word alone or for those who have a list of words that they would like discussed individually.

Don’t wait—pre-order this collection today to lock in the best price!

A Quote for Every Day of the Week

| Wed, September 17, 2014 | Products 5

300-quotations-for-preachers-with-slides

I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.
—Marlene Dietrich

A powerful and insightful quote can be the perfect punctuation to an idea. And pastors and academics alike will find our quotations volumes immensely valuable.

We’ve collected 2,500 quotations and prayers into eight volumes with quotations ranging from Augustine and the early church to Charles Spurgeon and the modern church:

All of these resources include professionally designed slides for every quote so that you can easily insert them into your presentation or share them with friends and family.

It is a pleasure to be able to quote lines to fit any occasion . . .
—Abraham Lincoln

We have good news for you and for Mr. Lincoln.

The sheer number of quotations and prayers you’ll get with these volumes makes them worthwhile, but, when you pair these resources with the power of Logos Bible Software, they become even more valuable.

Each quote is tagged with Scripture references and themes so that you can quickly find the perfect quote that fits any occasion. We’ve also included a full bibliographic citation for each quote and a link to the original source if it’s included in your Logos library.

Here’s what a few prominent pastors are saying about these quotations volumes:

This is a robust set of volumes that has obviously been put together by a preacher who knows what preachers need in a quotation compendium. Preachers of every stripe will find this a beneficial addition to their Logos collection.
—J.D. Greear, pastor, The Summit Church

Preachers need to do better than merely combing resources for a pithy quote. They should invest themselves in the original sources as much as possible, and this makes it easy to dig into the original material.
—Joe Thorn, pastor, Redeemer Fellowship

For the last month, the Lexham Press social-media accounts have been posting a quote of the day every weekday using the hashtag #QuoteOfTheDay. Follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook, and you’ll get an exclusive coupon code for all eight quotations volumes.

Logos 5: Locate Words and Phrases in Proximity to One Another

| Mon, September 15, 2014 | Training 3

Today’s post is from Morris Proctor, certified and authorized trainer for Logos Bible Software. Morris, who has trained thousands of Logos users at his two-day Camp Logos seminars, provides many training materials.

In addition to coaching people in the use of Logos Bible Software, one of my greatest joys is encouraging biblical communicators toward true expository preaching. Exposing the original intent of a scriptural passage along with contemporary application is a powerful combination!

Toward that end, a Logos user recently asked me how he could search his library for various definitions of expository preaching.

This is an excellent question that can be answered with a proximity search combining words and phrases:

  • Open the Search panel (A)
  • Select Basic as the search type (B)
  • Select Entire Library from the resources drop-down list (C)
  • Type this text in the Find box: (definition,define) WITHIN 3 words “expository preaching” (D)

morris-proctor-locate-words-and-phrases_1-search-query

  • Choose the search panel menu (E)
  • Select Match all word forms (F)

morris-proctor-locate-words-and-phrases_2-match-all-forms

  • Press the Enter key to generate the search results (G)

The search query instructs Logos to locate all the occurrences of the words define, defines, defined, defining, definition, or definitions within three words of the phrase expository preaching!

Clicking a hyperlinked search result opens the resource right to an author’s definition of expository preaching. (H)

morris-proctor-locate-words-and-phrases_3-results

Here are some details regarding the search query:

  • The parentheses group terms together
  • The comma within the parentheses represents an OR search, meaning any of the terms present constitutes a hit
  • Match all word forms locates the various forms of define, saving us from having to type them individually
  • The double quotes around the words expository preaching indicate an exact phrase
  • The command WITHIN means the words can appear before or after the phrase
  • The term words designates the context in which the words and phrases must appear
  • The number 3 defines the specific contextual range in which the words and phrases must appear

Please experiment with this query, because joining the proximity search with words and phrases enables us to locate information with precision.

If this was helpful to you, check out our Logos 5 Training Manual Set, which contains greatly expanded explanations of Logos searching.

Logos Is Faithlife!

| Fri, September 12, 2014 | Misc. 33

logos-is-faithlife-corporation-logo

Logos Bible Software (the company) is now Faithlife Corporation.

We haven’t been bought; we don’t have a new owner. Logos Bible Software is still our flagship product, and we’re not changing its name. You’ll still find it at Logos.com.

But ‘software’ is something you download onto your desktop computer. And while I still do that—and so do you!—we’re moving toward a future where apps, websites, and digital content set the pace.

We have been leading that way for a while: Proclaim Church Presentation Software, Biblia.com, Vyrso, Faithlife Groups, Lexham Press, Faithlife Study Bible, and so much more. This video really makes the point:

All of these tools are connected by a single account—the same one you use at Logos.com, Biblia.com, Vyrso.com, and Faithlife.com.

And that’s your Faithlife account, from Faithlife Corporation, the leading provider of digital content and tools for the Christian church.

The simple summary: Logos Bible Software is a product of Faithlife Corporation. You sign in to Logos—and all Faithlife products and websites—with your Faithlife account.

Changing a company name is a big deal, and we’ll be working through the details for months. I appreciate your patience as we make this transition, and I want you to know that we are still the same team, with the same leaders and owners, and with the same goal: helping you do more and better Bible study—and more!
