Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for sharing. As a complete newbie it’s for me a bit overwhelming of having instant access to a massive resource such as Logos. I studied theology way back and now picking up some of the Greek and Hebrew I studied then. It’s very helpful to read about people and their way of using Logos. So again thank you and God bless.

Hi Arend,
Thanks for your kind comment! I’m glad you found the post helpful. I agree with you that having a massive Logos library can be overwhelming. For me having a simplified layout like this for regular study is very helpful. Like I alluded to in the post, it’s for deeper, focused study and research projects that I channel the full power of the library. For projects like focused study, sermon and bible study preparation, research, etc. having a massive library becomes a huge blessing and a powerful tool. But I find it helpful to keep things simple for day-to-day study, or you could spend hours studying just one verse.
I’m glad to hear that you’re picking back up your Greek and Hebrew! Logos is great for reviewing vocabulary and practicing parsing. For picking up Greek again I recommend Dr. Constantine Campbell’s “Keep Your Greek: Strategies for Busy People” https://www.logos.com/product/41553/keep-your-greek
Thanks Jennifer for your reply. I certainly will look at the suggestion.

Was wondering how you effectively use your highlighters in your study. Thanks for the help.
Hi Robert,
I’m sorry to say that I do not have a highlighting system in Logos. I highlight pretty minimally in digital platforms because I have not found it to be very easy or helpful in comparison to print. If I ever develop a system I’ll be sure to blog about it!
Dr. Campbell is planning to replace Wallace with a forthcoming intermediate text by Kostenberger, Merkle, and Plummer (http://amzn.to/1Pc0BJ2)
Could you number or date each blog in this series. It would help to see which one we are reading, and if we missed one. Thanks and blessings.
Hi Fred,
The date is below the post title. I will be posting here every other Friday for the next three years, so numbering might become tedious. Way at the top (under the “Logos Academic Blog” header) there are a series of tabs (starting with “Home”). There’s a tab with my name, and if you click that you will be able to see all of my posts. Let me know if that’s helpful for what you’re looking for! God bless.

Here are a few tips on highlighting in real books.
Now a few for highlighting in Logos (the post is a little old, but still applies.
What school do you attend? I too am interested in exegesis and NT Greek. I’m wondering what text books you use and if they are available on Logos?
Thx,

Hi Daven,
I attend Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. We are using the following books (Logos links provided for books that are on Logos):
1. Interpreting the New Testament Text: Introduction to the Art and Science of Exegesis (Bock & Fanning ed.)
2. Advances in the Study of Greek: New Insights for Reading the New Testament (Constantine Campbell)
3. Basics of Verbal Aspect in Biblical Greek (Constantine Campbell)
https://www.logos.com/product/41545/basics-of-verbal-aspect-in-biblical-greek
4. The Student’s Complete Vocabulary Guide to the Greek New Testament (Warren Trenchard)
5. A Choice between Wallace’s “big book” Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics (https://www.logos.com/product/34167/greek-grammar-beyond-the-basics) and “little book” Basics of New Testament Syntax (https://www.logos.com/product/40503/the-basics-of-new-testament-syntax). I’m using the former.
Dr. Campbell is planning to replace Wallace with a forthcoming intermediate text by Kostenberger, Merkle, and Plummer (http://amzn.to/1Pc0BJ2)
