5.0 out of 5 stars The MOST Impressive Software You Will Ever Experience, July 19, 2006

By 

C. M. Manis (Sunrise, Florida) - See all my reviews

I have had this software package for a month now. Outstanding and Excellent! It comes with a Morris Proctor training CD. The Scholar's package includes 330 resources. Logos tech support is both quick and competent. Why did I need tech support? The training CD initial window was a *.hta file type which needs to be set to a Microsoft HTML File, not a Herrera Thumbnail Archive. You probably won't have this problem. Also, the musical hymns were muted in my audio settings. YES, there are 366 hymns in this set.

INSTALLATION: No problem. First you install the libronix software, then you read (or scan) the library disks. You do not have to copy the resources to your hard drive, but this whole set only takes 2.16 GB of disk space.

EASY TO USE: The Logos application provides Passage, Word, or Topic searches. Type in your request, click go and the power of libronix technology will amaze you. The resources are returned in short order and all you have to is click the item on the list. It's as easy as clicking a link on a web page.

INCLUDES: You can have a parallel Bible defined with the versions you want. You can graphically compare different versions. The Logos Deluxe Map Set is included. The Biblical People show a graphical relationship (parents/children).

OTHER FEATURES: There's a Prayer Log. It's good, but not great. The Bible Reading Plan is Excellent. You can create a customized Bible Reading plan in about 2 minutes! Select the starting book and ending book, the days of the week, the starting date and ending date, and create. You get a reading plan that stays on the program page, but you can also print out a list format or calendar format of your Bible Reading plan. And of course you can print one out for a friend just as easy.

IT'S BASIC AND ADVANCED: There are Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic resources in the scholar's library. Now I am not a divinity student, I am a lay person. I do not speak, Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic. But yet I can use this resource. You can research the original text of a word, type in english, the program gives Strong's reference numbers and graphically displays where else the same orginial word his in the Bible. There is an exegetical guide for Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic as well.

A NATURAL FOR RESEARCH: Copy from your resources, paste into Word and the FOOTNOTE IS AUTOMATICALLY CREATED FOR YOU!

SAVES YOU TIME IN PREPARING STUDY MATERIALS: You can create handout materials in about 20 minutes for a passage of scripture or a topic from a variety of resources.

THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY CHURCH LEADER WHO PREPARES MATERIALS.

This package is not inexpensive, but it is a BUG FREE Quality Program. What you are really buying is a digital library. There are other packages available from Logos, but the Scholar's package includes the Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic resources.

FREE TRAINING VIDEOS AVAILABLE: IF you go to the logos web site, you can view training videos on the different features of the program. It's a comprehensive program, but it is easy to use right out of the box.

BIBLICAL RESEARCH WILL NEVER BE THE SAME: I have looked at other Biblical Software, but Logos has features the others do not.

I highly recommend this Software!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE Digital Christian Library System!, December 25, 2006

By

I have been using Logos products for over ten years, expanding and upgrading as funds permitted. As a full-time Baptist pastor, my library is a very personal thing to me -- my books are the "tools of my trade." Libronix is MUCH more than just Bible software, although in my opinion it is the absolute best biblical software available. Libronix is a complete digital library system, allowing one to access from a hard drive what was previously accessed from a pastoral book shelf or a seminary library.

Over the past ten years, I've been transitioning to a digital pastoral library, and Libronix is my format of choice. I've considered other popular software programs, but nothing comes close to Libronix. It has unsurpassed Biblical tools, PLUS a vast amount of reference titles and contemporary authors.

One great thing about Libronix is the amount of pricing options available to get started. Although I own the Scholar's Library Gold edition (widest selection of titles in one package), a person can start with a less expensive package, such as the Christian Home Library. Don't want the Hebrew and Greek selections? You don't have to buy them. Want more contemporary authors and less classical works? Craft the system to your choice, buying only the titles you truly need.

Another outstanding characteristic of Libronix is their customer service. I have NEVER in ten years had any problems whatsoever. There is also a newsgroup of users available to discuss various issues from beginning to advanced.

If you're wanting to go digital in your Bible study and/or your Christian library, Libronix provides the best way to get there. I recommend this program highly. I have used various editions of it for years, and am sure you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Am Having Too Much Fun, August 19, 2006

By 

Fury - See all my reviews

I received the software on time. Installation was a breeze. Everything installed as it should. I also bought A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature Third Edition (BDAG) directly from Logos. It works. The application has no clunkiness in the interface and the search times are excellent considering the volume of information that is scanned.

While a multimedia tutorial is included, the package ships with no written, comprehensive user guide or reference guide. This bugs me. So far I have been able to find what I need in the help.

It is a joy to explore Bible passages and topics with this product. I would wish this joy on you.
