What is Logos Bible Software and How Does it Work?
Jessalyn Hutto
Have you ever heard of Logos Bible Software? Being the wife of a church planter, and former seminarian, the name "Logos" is very familiar to me. My husband has long dreamt of the day when he would be able to draw upon the vast amount of resources available within the Logos system for Bible study and sermon preparation, but the hefty price tag has thus far kept him from giving in to those (admittedly noble) desires.
I must admit that I myself have been tempted to break the budget as I've seen Logos demonstrated at various conferences. But being the physical book snob that I am, the idea of investing so heavily in digital commentaries, books, and other resources turned me off. I prefer my Calvin, Spurgeon, and Luther to line our book shelves, not be hidden away in some virtual "cloud."
However.
When I was asked to review Logos Bible Software I readily acquiesced. True, my husband would have had some very strong words for me if I had declined, but more than anything I was interested in seeing how the average woman would benefit from this resource. Would she find it worth the price tag? Is this just a product for seminarians, professors, pastors, and authors or could it be useful to the average Joe who simply desires to be an ardent student of God's Word?
That is the goal of my review which I will break up into three separate posts: What is Logos Bible Software and How Does it Work? (Today's post); My Favorite Features in Logos 6; and My Thoughts on Logos Bible Software.
