Hay mucho material en ingles pero muy poco en español, para los hispanohablantes que no dominamos el inglés, seria excelente el poder contar con una función extra que permita el poder traducir un libro o comentario al español u otro idioma, que al momento de traducir un libro quede guardado como una copia del mismo ya traducido para evitar el estar siempre conectado en internet para generar la traducción, dicha función de traducción no solo ayuda a las personas que no dominan el inglés, sino que también incrementaría las compras de más materiales que los hispanohablantes se han limitado a comprar por no dominar el inglés u otro idioma.

On the desktop windows logos app a user cannot interact with the popup note that happens when hovering over the note icon like you can in the mobiel version of logos.

In the desktop app you have to click on the note icon to jump to what ever reference might be located in that note. This causes another pane to be created on the pc app taking up unnecessary realestate on laptops. I would be more effective use of monitor realistate if one could interact with the note that pops up when hovering over the note icon and click on any reference within the note to have it jump to that reference without having to open up tne note panel to interact with the reference.

Basically make the desktop app as it relates to pop up notes when hovering over the note icon behave like it does in the mobile app as it makes it a lot more streamlined if the mobile app and the desktop app behaved similarly in this situation.

Thanks.

I would like to suggest that you create a feature within notes as it relates to how a note is anchored to a resource be it Bible or other resource.

Currently placing the note icon anywhere other then just before a verse number in the Bible is not very flexible.

While preparing a study I wanted to have a chain reference note just before a verse number but within the verse itself just before one of the words within that verse I wanted to have a reference to another book like the Bible dictionary in order to make it very quick and easy to reference a spot in a dictionary within a target word within a Bible text.

While I see this can be done by highlighting the word you want to target it only allows you anchor the word to a particular Bible rather then reference it for any Bible translation you might be using at the time.

What I would suggest is to allow the user to tweak the type of anchor that is used once an anchor is created rather then having to delete an anchor fixed to a certain text and adding another anchor of reference type.

While I know you can add multiple anchors to a note it also creates multiple note icons unless you create the referenced anchor then delete the anchor fixed to a particular bible version. Only in that case will just one note icon show up for a particular target.

Another way of approaching this problem or in addition to, would be to have a global setting whereby when you select a verse or a word within a verse that anchor would automatically become a reference instead of a fixed anchor to a specific Bible.

The third option you might do to allow more flexibility to manipulate type of anchor you wish to use is to allow for the creation of sub anchors manually to a various anchor type you are wanting to use.

For example lets say you want to have a note icon appear just before the word created in Genesis 1:1 and have it be a referenced text meaning it would be available in any version of the Bible you had in your library.

You could create a feature whereby you could not only manually type in the text but also the word within the text you would like the note icon to be anchored next to.

Now granted their would have to be some context logic to know where a note would go if that particular word did not appear in a version you wanted to use but from what I can see you already have done that to some degree with highlighting where you could have a highlighted area referenced and even if another version has the sentance in a different arrangement it seems like your software will intelligently highlight the words that fit the correct sense of the text even if the arrangement is slightly different so it would seem like you could use that same principle with note icons where even if a word is not found in another version that their could be some context logic that would be used to be able to place the note icon as close to the word that was substituted or the thought that went with th eword in one version and place it in the proper arrangement within another version.

Anyway just a suggestion but boy I can see how at least for me it would be very useful in doing a topical Bible study where you are wanting to jump from one verse range to another but in some instances would like to expound upon a word within a text by having a note beside that word that could be hovered over or clicked on (depending if you are using a mobile devise or a laptop) and get the essence of the historical reference right off the word you are wanting to highlight within the text and then have the option to jump to that particular area in the book from within the word you put the note icon next to as opposed to having to have possibly multiple chain reference texts that go to one verse and then under that have a historical fact that went with a particular word or phrasing within the verse.

Even making two notes attached to a verse would be confusing because later down the line how would one remember which note icon was meant for a chain reference link to another passage in the Bible or what note was meant for the referenced historical quote in another book where as you allow for customization of referenced anchors within the text it would make it much easier down the road in a study to know where a cultural, historical or other non bible reference link might be and where you might have a chain reference to go to the next scripture in the topic you are studying on.

Thanks and hope you get this and find a way to implement it as I am sure others would like the same feature.

In order to use Logos for sophisticated linguistic work we need tools that help us compare texts on several levels:

First: the Lemmata-level. Shows and compares words, roots etc.
Second: the sentence-level. Shows similar grammatical structures, similar phrases or parts of phrases
Third: the dataset-level: Enhancing the functionality of the datasets by comparing everything put in one text with the text with which one wants to compare it.

For example: Putting in Isa 1:1-7 and comparing it with Isa 40:1-11. Comparable to a sophisticated anti-plagiarism-software we should now be able to see differences and similarities in meaning, in structure, in grammar and in tense.

My name is Allan Loder. I have created a resource that I feel would be beneficial for pastors, teachers and students of the New Testament.

During my PhD studies at Wycliffe College, University of Toronto, I did a course on Epigraphy (as it relates to the vocabulary of the NT). Also, one of my areas of study was NT textual criticism, so I became quite familiar with the papyri and inscriptions. As a student, and as a pastor, I know first-hand the need for good resources.

Back in 2012, I felt I needed a way to keep up with my Koinē Greek, so I decided to do a revision/update/expansion of The Vocabulary of the Greek Testament by J. H. Moulton and G. Milligan (British scholars). This is a work they started just before WWI, along with the German scholar Adolf Deissmann. Their plan was to produce a new lexicon. The plan was for MM to focus on the papyri and Deissmann would focus on the inscriptions. But when WWI broke out in 1914 the project was put on hold. There was no contact between MM and Deissmann during the war. Then Moulton died in 1917. In 1918, Milligan went on to publish the work they had done to date, and later added a few updates of his own in subsequent editions (1929 and 1930), but the work was never finished. Milligan died in 1934 and Deissmann died in 1937. Their work then sat on the shelf mostly unused and unappreciated for the next 8 decades.

So, what started as a way for me to keep up with my Koinē Greek studies evolved into me finishing what Moulton, Milligan, and Deissmann had stated all those years ago. i.e., produce a lexicon illustrating how NT words were used in the broader Greco-Roman world.

First, I digitized the text from the flip-book scanned version at archive.org (https://archive.org/details/vocabularyofgree00mouluoft). Next, I keyed all the words to Strong’s numbers. Then, I provided inline translations for the papyri and inscription resources cited by MM (I personally checked every source cited). Finally, I added material overlooked by MM or became available since 1930. In addition to expanding on their entries, I also added 936 new entries; words MM didn’t get to.

Attached is a PDF file of ‘Vocabulary of the Greek New Testament: Student Edition (VGNTS). Do you think this would be useful for students and teachers if I were to make it available as a module in Logos? The module does need some proof-reading, but I am working on that.

If this would help you determine the potential for demand for this resource, here is part of what Dan Wallace (DTS) said when I sent him a copy for review (to get his feedback on it.)

~~~~~~~~~~~
"I can hardly tell you how impressed I am of this work. I’ve only looked at small sections but this looks so stunning an achievement I’m almost speechless. Surely you had several assistants? You sound like the reincarnation of Deissmann—working on Bibelstudien on the side! . . . "

"I suspect that with some tweaking hinted at above (and, of course, proofreading), this will become the standard for vocabulary from papyri and inscriptions for generations to come. "

Could you please let me know what you think and if it’s something you would be interested in? I can provide a review copy. Email: allan.loder@gmail.com

Thanks,
Allan

Back in Logos 7 for Mac, I was able to utilize the vowel markings built into the Mac keyboard (i.e., I was able to press and hold a vowel key, and wait for the vowel marking options to appear above the letter, and then select the one I wanted). With Logos 8 (and now 9), however, that feature went away. I take notes from Logos and copy them into Evernote. So when I do (and since Evernote supports that Mac keyboard feature), I have to go back and change the vowel markings I was forced to use in Logos and correct them in Evernote. It would be so great to see Logos restore that feature (and I know that you can do it, since you had that feature in the past).

It would be amazing if you guys could work out a cooperative deal with Amazon that would be mutually beneficial.

I would also love it if my Kindle books could be added to my Logos library so that they are searchable, etc. from within Logos. I have several theological books on Kindle that aren’t even available in Logos.

In addition, I wish that I could access and read my logos books on my Kindle reader (not the Fire), and even highlight them and take notes that would sync with Logos. This would not require access to ALL of the logos software features, just the library. The Kindle reader is so lightweight and easy to carry around and read on. The iPad and other tablets weigh a ton by comparison…

This would increase sales of logos books, as more people could access and use them. And it would increase the demand for Kindle readers.

It has been several years that I ask if you have a Hebrew bible without the vowels or cantillation marks, but it has not been produced yet. It's okay, but I would like to ask again if Logos / Faithlife can continue considering getting a Hebrew Bible only with the consonants. Even better, maybe consider getting a Hebrew Bible in which we could show / hide the vowel marks. This would be extremely useful when copying/pasting Hebrew text from Logos to a Word document in order to produce a university research paper, or a book in general, without having all those vowel points and cantillation marks. This is possible using other websites online, but I wish to give citation using a published book via Logos, rather than a strange website online with the Hebrew text without vowels and no clear license or web owner anywhere displayed.
