In this, my first post on the first day of the new year, I would like to let you know about the latest developments in my favorite research resource, Logos Bible Software.
From time to time, I am asked what I think is the most helpful Bible software available.
My opinion is based on many years of use in the context of teaching on the Bible college and seminary levels as well as research and writing to fulfill the requirements for the degrees M.A. in Exegetical Theology, Master of Theology, and Ph.D. in Renewal Studies with majors in Christian Theology and History of Global Christianity.
In addition to using Bible software in preparation for teaching in classrooms, local churches, camp meetings, and other venues like Purpose Institute, I find it helpful in fulfilling writing assignments for the Pentecostal Life magazine, “God’s Word for Life,” the curriculum published by the United Pentecostal Church International, and a variety of other ministry opportunities that require writing. I have written twenty-one books and hope to have finished the twenty-second in just a few days.
So what Bible software do I recommend?
Without question, it is Logos Bible Software.
I regularly sit through training sessions to keep up to date on the latest developments in this amazing technology. To take a look for yourself at its current state, you can go to https://www.logos.com. You will discover “The World’s Most Powerful Bible Study Platform.” A “Start Free Trial” is available if you like what you see. If you wish, you can talk to a Logos expert by calling 888-398-9481.
If you’ve ever looked at Logos, you probably have some idea about its capabilities. Today’s Logos does all it has ever done but, in an often-used term, it takes Bible research and writing to “a whole new level.”
I subscribe to Logos MAX. With its thousands of books, journal articles, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and original language resources (Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic) available in a moment, I can find what I need to move quickly to complete projects.
The integration of AI enables me to ask questions and receive almost instant feedback based on the resources in my subscription. The responses free me from any concern about the accuracy of my findings because they do not come from the internet at large but from the trusted resources I have selected.
With the New Era of Logos, you will discover tools and resources to supercharge your personal study, teaching and preaching preparation, and academic research. I encourage you to look into this.
I wouldn’t want to be without it!
