Jennifer GrishamA few years ago, I wrote a few segments for a popular Bible study. I loved every little bit of the research and thinking and writing, but I was relying on a stack of books about half my height (which isn’t saying much—I’m not a tall...
Logos StaffWe’re all now almost pros at social distancing, and it’s beginning to feel like groundhog day every day. But the plus side of this seismic shift in daily routines is the opportunity to spend more time reflecting on God, his Word, and life. Here are...
Mark WardIf you go to seminary, there are certain tasks you will be asked to do. I don’t have to know which school you’re going to or what classes you’re taking. You’ll be doing these things. Three of them. Promise. I’ve used pretty much all the major tools...
The ECPA just released its 2019 Christian Book Award finalists, and we’re excited to share that two Lexham Press titles are finalists! Let’s meet our finalists: The Lexham Geographic Commentary on the Gospels is a finalist in the Bible Reference...
I finally bought Logos when I realized how often I was about to leave my beautiful new bride at home while I finished up my dissertation at the library. I still had to spend time in the stacks and study carrels, but Logos let me spend much more time...
Most of the time you look up a Hebrew word you probably don’t want the extreme depth and complication afforded by the top lexicons. Neither do you want to wade through a tight paragraph of tiny print full of abbreviations you don’t use often enough...
Michael S. HeiserHebrews 10:4 asserts, “It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins,” but Leviticus seems to tell a different story. Even casually reading the book, we notice that Israelites who bring proper sacrifices “shall be forgiven” (e...
Take one step into my house and you’ll see I have a serious problem. I’m a book addict, and the evidence of my affliction is everywhere. Every available surface is covered in books. And then there are the thousands of other books that you won’t see...

Bible Study MagazineStop and be astonished, if you can, at a statement from Jesus in Mark 10 that certainly astonished his disciples: “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven” (Mark 10:25). It’s...
As a kid, maybe 10 or 12, I was leafing through my red-letter edition of the Bible and I noticed that there was one section of unbroken red text that was longer than any other. It was Matthew 5–7. I thought that was kind of cool, and if my memory...
Kristen SchaferImagine being one of the first people to use Facebook. Without many others to connect with, would the social media company hold any value to you? Probably not. But add a couple dozen of your close friends to the site, and suddenly you’d probably...
Kris LyleI remember the first time I got a Hebrew lexicon. I was so eager to find the “real meaning” of important theological words. I quickly turned to ברך (barak) and קדשׁ (qadosh) only to find one-word glosses (“bless” and “holy,” respectively) that I had...
Ray Deck IIINew Logos users often ask, “What makes Logos resources so much more valuable than their print or epub counterparts?” The answer? Connectivity. Most scholarly works connect to other resources through in-text citations, bibliographies, and...
The Bible can be a difficult book to interpret. Churches split over the interpretation of controversial texts, and many Bible readers feel bewildered about tough passages of Scripture. To help clarify and outline various methods of exegesis and...
Daniel R. HydeMany pastors quietly avoid the imprecatory psalms. It’s understandable. We often don’t know what to do with them. Maybe we’ve even seen them weaponized. But our avoidance is problematic. Paul’s charge is unambiguous: “Preach the Word” (2 Tim...
Kirk E. MillerIn this episode of Logos Live, Kirk E. Miller speaks with Dr. R. Albert Mohler Jr. about the purpose, necessity, and enduring value of theological education. Their conversation centers on a basic but increasingly important question: Why does the...

Sean McGeverI have a confession: I enjoy prepping lectures. I like researching, analyzing, and organizing material. I like synthesizing ideas and crafting a class session that feels clear and coherent. I even enjoy delivering it and watching discussion unfold...
Steven WedgeworthSin is a fundamental concept in Christianity. In English-language Bibles, words for sin appear over a thousand times. Salvation is frequently explained as the forgiveness of sins. Whether certain activities are sinful and how to avoid sin are common...
Jeffrey WiesnerWe are to raise up faithful leaders who will be able to instruct the church in sound doctrine. One way to accomplish this task is through a pastoral internship: a definite amount of time given to training aspiring leaders for the prospect of...

Ed StetzerThere’s a lot of change taking place in higher education, and Christian higher ed is no exception. Some seminaries are experiencing tremendous growth while others have declined. Some have even closed. The latest data from the Association of...
At one level, Anglicanism is simply the church of the “Angles,” the people of England. However, the English eventually exerted control over the entire island of Britain and Ireland before creating an empire that stretched across the whole world...
Crucifixion is at the center of Christianity. Yet Paul calls the cross of Jesus a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the Greeks. Removed as we are from that culture, we often miss just how shocking crucifixion was. We wear gold crosses as...
We often excel at understanding and teaching the meaning of Christ’s death—its significance for accomplishing our salvation. Sometimes, we are less adept at grasping the significance of Christ’s resurrection, at least beyond how it signals...
The scene unfolds with stark irony: The innocent is condemned. The inscription nailed above his head declares a charge that belongs to the guilty who goes free. Mark intends for us to feel the perversion of justice. But he also intends for us to...
