DidaktikosFor decades, Edith M. Humphrey’s scholarly work has gifted both the academy and the church. Her teaching career has included positions at several schools in Canada, but since 2002 she has been part of the faculty of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary...
Logos StaffIn this excerpt about miracles in the Bible from God in the Dock, Lewis explains why belief in miracles can’t be dismissed as a vestige of an antiquated worldview. It has been lightly edited for length. *** I have known only one person in my life...
Guest AuthorIt’s C.S. Lewis week here at Faithlife! We’re celebrating the scholar’s life and writings in the 30-volume C.S. Lewis Collection. This is a post from Ryan J. Pemberton (M.T.S., Duke Divinity School), minister for university engagement at First...
Matthew Boffey“Remember that there are only three kinds of things anyone need ever do. (1.) Things we ought to do (2.) Things we’ve got to do (3.) Things we like doing.” — C.S. Lewis It’s C.S. Lewis Week on the blog as we celebrate his 30-volume Logos collection...
Matt Redman wrote “Blessed Be Your Name” with his wife Beth in response to the tragedy of the 9/11 attacks in the United States. It reflects on the faithful response to suffering we see all throughout Scripture, especially from Job: praise. Blessing...
Mark WardLogos sells many different commentaries. Literally thousands. They all fall into different categories, and here’s one schema you could use to organize them (borrowed from here, though there are others): Devotional/practical commentaries (NIVAC...
C.S. Lewis famously called the gospel of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection “True Myth.” What he meant was that 1) it really happened (“True”) and 2) it serves as a worldview-forming grand story (“Myth”) for Christians. Other religions and...
The title thou hast lately read art not a clickbait and switch. Verily, I believe it to be one of truth and importance. Let me put you at ease right away by telling you what I mean by it. God did not say, “Thou shalt not steal.” He said “You shall...
A book series I’ve heard a lot of talk about in recent years is James K. A. Smith’s “Cultural Liturgies” trilogy: Desiring the Kingdom, Imagining the Kingdom, and Awaiting the King (plus the one-volume popularization I really enjoyed, You Are What...
Today’s post was written by David Swearingen, a longtime friend and colleague of Dr. Tony Ash. Dr. Anthony Lee “Tony” Ash, author and narrator of Walking With C.S. Lewis, a new Lexham Press video curriculum, died after a short illness on December 6...
I spent hours looking over Logos base packages before I bought one (Gold). I did the same before I upgraded (Platinum). How can you make an informed purchasing decision? Which base package do you need? The homework necessary to figure it out may be...
“Should we split infinitives? Can we say ‘to boldly go where no one has gone before’?” A sharp teenage girl in my church recently asked me this. Great question. How do we judge what is “correct” English, anyway? And should Bible teachers even, like...
When you’re studying Scripture—whether for sermon prep, research, or even just personal devotions—the distractions aren’t just out there. Often, it’s the stuff we’re doing as part of the study itself that threaten to distract us. For instance...
Does widespread human disagreement over Bible interpretation reveal some flaw or weakness in God or his word—or some flaw or weakness in us? Or neither, or both? This is the third of three articles on the clarity of Scripture. I’ve clarified the...
If you’re a church leader, by now you’re probably knee-deep in preparation for Christmas. From planning extra services to crafting upcoming sermon series to fit the season, there’s a lot to keep track of. And there are plenty of...
The viewpoints of Christians of the past are not authoritative over us in the same way the Bible is—or even the same way our pastors are (Heb. 13:17). Past generations of believers made theological errors just like us, because they were fallen and...
Everybody’s Bible study workflow is different, but there are some key tasks we all have to tackle. When we created the latest version of Logos Bible Software, we wanted to address all of those steps in in-depth Bible study—from that initial spark of...
What’s the key to effectively teaching the Bible to others, whether in a Bible study, a sermon, or a Facebook conversation? Love your audience as yourself. Loving God is most important, of course, but it’s possible to love God supremely and yet fail...
For several weeks I’ve been trying to End Bible Translation Tribalism. I’m urging Christians not to make our good Bible translations into rallying points or battle flags for internecine warfare. Instead, we members of Christ’s body should recognize...
Ryan NelsonAt the heart of Randy Alcorn’s book, Happiness, is the simple belief that Christians, having a direct relationship with the source of all happiness, should be happy. This isn’t a call for delusional ignorance of the terrible things that...
Jake MailhotChristians often fall prey to the notion that the sacred and secular should be separated. While it’s true that Jesus has called us into his Kingdom, he has also called us back into the world from which we were rescued. Our faith must be grounded in...
Stay the course. Hold fast. Press on. Go the distance. Cowboy up. Persevere. Persist. Endure. There’s no shortage of ways to offer encouragement—even a Facebook like or a hang-in-there cat might do. But cute phrases and cheesy posters fall...
I caved. Somebody sent me one of those time-wasting links you know you’re not supposed to click on if you want to get any work done. But I couldn’t help it. “Find out what your most used words on Facebook are,” the link said. I was like Digory at...
Almost four years to the day before I came to serve the church at Logos Bible Study, I wrote a post on my personal blog, “How to Pronounce ‘Logos’ in ‘Logos Bible Software.’” You see, there’s something of a schism among Logos aficionados, with two...
Here’s a great question for you Greek students to ask, and a helpful (I hope) answer for you Greek teachers to give. J.H. writes: I am a second-year student in [a theological seminary] in Nigeria. I am presently taking Greek Grammar 1. My challenge...

Liz MeltonStudying in community allows Christians to ask questions, learn, and grow together. Christianity is not a religion of isolation. Jesus taught his followers to create a community of believers, and this Christian community keeps each member connected...
Todd BishopC.S. Lewis once said, “The most valuable thing the Psalms do for me is to express the same delight in God which made David dance.” Poetry has the unique power to evoke the vast and varied expanse of human emotion. And the Psalms have it all—from...
