Learn to Use the Timeline in Logos 6

The Bible covers a staggering sweep of history. From the rise and fall of kingdoms to the intimate turmoil of families in desperate plights, Scripture tells it all. But that breadth also poses a challenge—how in the world do we keep track of all those people, events, and places?

When you branch into church history and theology, the problem only magnifies. It’s hard to remember who influenced whom, which theologian pioneered which doctrines, how schools of thought battled it out in the public arena, and which ideas came to define the worldview of their eras.

With the Timeline in Logos 6, you can explore thousands of years of history, search for specific events, jump from biblical events to relevant Factbook entries, and more. The Timeline covers more than 12,000 events and links them to passages in resources across your Logos library. Best of all, you can quickly see what other historical events occurred at the same time as biblical events, giving you a stronger grasp of the Bible’s historical and cultural context.

In this video, I’ll show you how the Timeline can do all that—I’ll even demonstrate how you can use it to track the development of philosophical, theological, and cultural ideas across the centuries.
