February 27, 2019 at 12:57 pmHi, I have an older version of Logos, with lots of resources, but I have not upgraded since retiring, should I install this or not?

March 1, 2019 at 4:04 amI’m interested in Logos 8 but it took me a LONG time to get Logos 6 and 7 to work. My computer has only a bit of memory left. Can I please get the specs on Logos 8 before considering trying to download it? What is the file size? And the required free memory, please?
Tavis Bohlinger says
March 4, 2019 at 12:30 pmHi Big Oby, required memory is different for every account, based on what you already own. However, Logos 8’s new Cloud Resources feature means that it might even take less space, since you can choose to remove resources that you don’t frequently use. This is currently in beta, and is planned to be released to all users soon. Hope that helps!

March 1, 2019 at 8:54 amI have a purchased copy of Logos 7 and the free copy of Logos 8. Do I get any additional resources with Academic 8 Basic, and do I get to keep Academic 8 Basic permanently?
Tavis Bohlinger says
March 4, 2019 at 12:29 pmHi Tim, thanks for your question. The simple answer to your question is, yes.

March 5, 2019 at 3:01 amHow can I get a download of the list of the books in my library, so I can print off the list if I need to.
Thanks
Tavis Bohlinger says
March 5, 2019 at 12:58 pmHi Robert, are you referring to the list of books in Academic Basic, or a complete base package, or something else? Happy to help in whichever case.

March 5, 2019 at 9:17 amListened to the first 40 seconds of the first section of unit one of Craig Evans’ “The Reliability of New Testament Manuscripts” course. First off, I’m not sure this should be called a “course.” The total of the audio files is less than an hour long and there are no assignments like other mobile ed courses. My main problem though came around the 30 second mark when Craig was talking about the number of manuscripts. He said the majority of these “…predate the first printed Greek New Testament produced by Erasmus in 1516.” Hey everybody, Erasmus did not produce the first printed Greek New Testament, nor was it just a Greek New Testament. The first printed Greek New Testament was, like that of Erasmus, a diglot with Greek and Latin. The Complutensian Greek-Latin New Testament was printed in 1514, two years before Erasmus published his first edition.
Does it matter? Maybe not. But I think Christian scholarship deserves better.
Harry Jones says
March 13, 2019 at 9:01 amSome questions:
If I am not an “academic”, can I get this package?
Since i am already a Logos owner/user, will this integrate seamlessly with what I already have?
Tavis Bohlinger says
March 16, 2019 at 1:20 amHi Harry, I believe in the checkout process you’ll need to provide an email associated with your institution/school. As a current Logos owner/user, you might just end up with a few additional resources in your library.
Harold Evans says
March 15, 2019 at 6:42 pmHow does Logos Academic Basic mesh with the Logos 8 program that I already have?
Tavis Bohlinger says
March 16, 2019 at 1:20 amHi Harold, as a current Logos owner/user, you might just end up with a few additional resources in your library.
