Below is an analysis of how the LXX handled the hebrew. It concentrates on the word for 'soil' but also looks at the verb 'look at' or 'turn to'. I'm reading a 1995 discussion on why Cain was not viewed favorably by YHWH. The screenshot below is from a section of Logos' Bible Word Study. Summary Analysis of Hebrew to LXX Translation Patterns Logos' wiki is down today else there's a section in there that provides more detail than on some of the resources you asked about.ġ. I took some screen shots just to give you a flavor.
You should know, they both have training and intro videos, as learning how to take complete advantage and become a power user has quite a learning curve.Įdit: I should point out, I haven't yet upgraded to BW 9 for financial reasons, but I've been with it since version 3.
The Logos engine and some books are available for free download, and Bibleworks offers a 30-day no-questions asked refund (minus shipping.) I recommend you try both. Some people talk of it taking several hours when I add a book, my powerful Mac does it in a few minutes, but I have less than 1000 resources. Adding new books (and sometimes program updates) can require a re-index, the speed of which depends on the size of your library and how powerful your hardware is. Logos has greatly increased in that department, once your books are indexed.
I'm essentially using it as a portable reader/markup, not trying to run complex searches on it.īW has amazing bang-for-the-buck, and is tightly integrated, and seems much more responsive. I know others who aren't, but we have different usage models. I use the Ipad app, and am quite happy with it. I believe they are, but as separate purchases or packages. It is available, but it's not integrated the same way. You can make links into Logos, but the BW forum is the place to ask about this. I don't own a Logos package, just individual books and collections. I do all my original language work in BW, and treat Logos as my research library, and I find they complement each other that way. I find some things much easier to do on BW, so much so that I've never learned (after trying it once) to do them on Logos. Does anyone have a list of things that one can do on BibleWorks that cannot be done on Logos? No, there are some adjustments you can make resizing, duplicating, and closing windows.
Many years ago, when I was doing my doctoral studies I used L-Base by Silver Mountain Software as well as GRAMCORD (free version for some work I did on the Greek analysis), but I have not used anything comparable in a Windows environment. Sorry for so many questions, but I hope some of this information would be very helpful to others also looking into this software. Any other things that I should be thinking about? I've read that searches on BibleWorks are much faster. How good are the Logos iPhone/Andoid apps? Those would be very nice to have depending upon level of functionality.ħ.
It seems like that is not available on Logos. Another substantial advantage of BibleWorks are the morphologically analyzed complete works of Josephus, Philo, and the apostolic fathers. One of the biggest advantages of BibleWorks for me is the parallel Hebrew-LXX module. I am interested in the more modern academic stuff, eg, the 3-volume Davies & Allison commentary on Matthew, especialy if they can be linked to the textual analysis part of Logos.Ĥ. I am already aware of the larger assortment of books that can be added to Logos, but I'm not interested in the many older commentaries or confessional or apologetic, even devotional or self-help types of works. I've heard that this is no longer be the case, but I am very interested in this aspect so if anyone has some specific information along this lines, please share.ģ. Does anyone have a list of things that one can do on BibleWorks that cannot be done on Logos? Or vice-versa? On of the things that I read in a comparison of older versions of both programs was that purely syntactical searches were able to be done on Logos but not on BibleWorks.
Is there a full screen toggle where the menu bars can be eliminated from the screen? Does one always need to have three windows (search, browse, analysis) open all the time? Is the size of each of three these windows adjustable?Ģ. One of my concerns is that the very cluttered 'look' of BibleWorks.
I would very much appreciate any helpful advice people have, especially those who use or have used both programs recently.ġ. I'm contemplating buying BibleWorks 9 or Logos 4 Original Language package.
