Scrolling Through Scripture
by John R. Throop
Logos also offers a variety of resource combinations, such as the Scholar's Library (232 Bibles and references) but also a Christian Home Series for laypeople (60 Bibles and references), and various other combinations that can be customized by theological bent or denominational polity.
Logos Bible Software Series X, for example, provides access to a vast library of resources--up to 2,500 titles from over 100 publishers--that can interface with dozens of Bible translations, original texts, and an enormous variety of tools. Libronix Digital Library System is the technology behind Series X. Dan Pritchett, Logos' director of marketing, says that the company has responded to user feedback on how they actually use the product, and redesigned it for ease of use.
"People now can get into their study one of two ways," he says. "They can research a Bible passage or a Bible topic. All they have to do is open the software, enter the passage or topic, click the mouse, and go." Computer-based video tutorials are available to walk users step-by-step through the most effective use of the products. Additional books can be paid for, unlocked from the disk and downloaded from the Logos' Internet web site directly into the software.
