Bible Study Software - Logos Bible Study Software
Logos Bible Software
Price: $149.95 - $1379.95
Logos Bible study software is designed to make Bible study easy and exciting to pastors, and lay people alike. The cost is a fairly high but if you want quality information you will probably have to pay for it that little piece of advice is even true in Bible study software.
The software and company have an interesting history. Logos Research System was founded in 1992 by two former Microsoft employers, Bob Pritchett and Kiernon Reiniger. The two met at church and according to the Logos web site originally wanted to create a “shareware” product for distribution on BBS systems (the dial-up pre-cursors to the Internet era). Frankly, I don’t even remember what BBS was. I had to look it up too. BBS systems stands for “bulletin board systems.” Remember those? You might say they were a precursor for social networking or sites like Craigslist.
The software was created for Windows 1.0 originally that was back when MS-DOS ruled the roost in Seattle. Over time they put out version after version improving little things here and there so that it would be more user friendly. The latest version touts some of the following features:
330 different Bibles and Bible reference titles
Six interlinear Bibles
Greek and Hebrew texts
Aramaic Texts
Latin texts
Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic Lexicons
Multiple Bible language resources
20 bible commentaries
Topical bibles
Bible Dictionaries
Word study tools
Bible study maps
Bible history
Archeological information
Bible Ethics
Theology resources
Apologetics
Christian leadership resources
Pastoral Resources
Sermon outlines and resources
Sermon illustrations
Quotes
and much, much more
If you have the money to spare it sounds like it will be worth your time to invest in some serious Bible study software like Logos. I will be picking up my copy real soon. The one draw back they have is their Mac version is still taking shape. Hence my reason for not owning this kickin software yet. Otherwise Logos is doing a fantastic job by the looks of it.
If you would like to see some demos go to You Tube and type in “Logos Bible Study Software.”
Enjoy.
