Imagine yourself in a courtroom where God himself is the prosecutor. The heavens and earth are called as witnesses, and the lawsuit is against none other than his own people. The charge? Rebellion—despite all the love and care God had shown them...
Editor’s note: The articles in our political theology series are the opinions of the authors, not those of Logos. We are publishing a breadth of voices to reflect varying perspectives within the church. With the upcoming presidential election...
To profess the Christian faith is to make a profound theological and political claim. If God raised Jesus from the dead, that necessitates we confess him as Lord. But to declare Jesus is Lord in a world of many lords is a dangerous thing to do. Over...
The next era of Logos is here! With new tools and enhanced features, Logos makes creating powerful Bible studies, sermons, and academic papers easier than ever. And, unlike previous versions of Logos, the new Logos will get better and better every...
We’re obsessed with making the best, easiest-to-use, and most in-depth Bible study platform for pastors, scholars, and serious students of the Bible. Over the past few weeks, our team shipped everything from bug fixes to groundbreaking new...
Since the beginning, Logos has existed to apply advances in information technology to the Bible for the good of the church (and by extension, the world)—and we’ve often led the way in doing so (e.g., as one of the earliest adopters of Unicode for...
In one of the most memorable conversations in all of Scripture, Jesus addressed to the Roman Empire that his kingdom was not of this world. Clearly, although Christ’s kingdom may not be this-worldly, neither is it strictly otherworldly: it takes...
So much of our daily life is mediated by technology, it can become almost invisible. Technology is the water, and we are all fish. Because tech is so commonplace, it’s easy to take it for granted, to become blind to its consequences. Yet as a tech...
As a child, I loved the Choose Your Own Adventure book series. These books allowed me to shape the story to my desires. No other book allowed that. If I did not like an outcome, I simply “rewound” my decision and chose another. The book provided the...
One of the distinguishing features of Jesus’s teaching was the role he assigned to love. For Jesus, love was the summation of all that the Torah taught, as well as that which marked out his disciples as belonging to the kingdom of God. One...
In our culture, marriage is often seen as a type of contract. Couples agree that each will do her or his part to make the marriage work. However, what happens when the agreement is broken and one spouse doesn’t keep up their end of the bargain...
Just about every industry has professional tools—every plumber needs a wrench, and every painter needs a brush. So, too, every pastor needs a Bible and the appropriate tools and resources needed to study it well. Logos is my Bible study tool of...
Lutherans reflect their distinctive place within Christianity in how they study Scripture. On one hand, their high view of Scripture leads to a strong focus upon the text that would be appreciated by Protestants. On the other hand, Lutherans tie...
No marriage exists in isolation. Our social context strongly influences how couples approach communication in general, and conflict in particular. If the social surroundings in which a couple find themselves promote virtues like compassion...
Some describe the Gospels as accounts of Jesus’s death with really long introductions. Statements like this can downplay the bulk of the Gospels’ narratives, as though Jesus’s death were the only point of importance and everything else is just...
Joel Muddamalle serves as the director of theology and research for Proverbs 31 Ministries and Lysa TerKeurst, and is a part of the preaching team at Transformation Church with Pastor Derwin Gray. Joel earned a PhD in theology under Drs. Patrick...
On the night of His betrayal, Jesus knew that the Father had given him all things into his hands. This biblical phrase signifies dominion and power, yet Jesus chose to use this authority not for revenge or domination, but for acts of...
You cannot tell the whole story of the Bible without talking about marriage. In the beginning, God created a man and a woman and put them in a covenant relationship with each other.
Baptists comprise one of the largest denominational bodies in the Christian world. But what do Baptists believe? In this article, we’ll seek to answer that question, first, by exploring Baptist origins in the renewal movement of Puritanism...
Marriage is beautiful. It is complex and wonderful. We talk, preach, and teach about marriage frequently. And rightly so! Marriage has a valued place in God’s kingdom. But does the value of marriage negate the value of singleness? After all...
I recently addressed a gathering of church leaders about the Everlasting Gospel for Gen Z. When I finished speaking, a long line of people formed to ask questions. That wasn’t strange or unusual. What was strange was that they all asked me versions...
Christopher Kou holds a certificate in biblical, liturgical, and cultural studies from Theopolis Institute. He has been published in the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society. He is currently enrolled in the MABS program at Reformed...
This article was originally published in March 2023. Why is Logos so expensive? People out there kind of mock us for it, and I’m here to admit that we feel a little sensitive on this point. Babylon Bee, for example, had a headline a few years back:...
The Bible does speak of demons, and demonology is a proper subject of theology. If angels and demons exist and afflict God’s people as the Bible asserts, then their existence and methods are necessary for a Christian’s understanding of reality. The...
Our team has been cooking up some new improvements over the last few weeks. We’re thrilled to share them with you today and hope they help you go deeper into the Word! Some of these updates are available to everyone. Others are just for those...
Who is Luke and why is he important? Luke was acquainted with and traveled with the apostle Paul. Not only did Luke travel with Paul outside the land of Israel, he also visited Israel and may have become personally acquainted with members of...
Does God plan everything ahead of time? If so, does that mean humans lack free will, that we are like robots? Such topics lead to questions about salvation: Does God save only those he’s chosen in advance? And, if so, how is that fair? These are the...
As the late and esteemed Larry Hurtado asked, Why on earth did anyone become a Christian in the first three centuries? The familial, economic, and social costs of turning from the worship of the traditional pagan gods and converting to the Way (the...
As AI enables more devices to become more capable, I'm led to reconsider another favorite question that I often ask Christian audiences: What technology do you think will—or won’t—be in heaven? More specifically, why (or why not) would there be...
Is Christianity a servile and womanish religion? It is somewhat ironic that today people sometimes dismiss Christianity as too patriarchal, whereas the ancient Romans reviled the churches as too womanish. They accused Christianity of being for the...
