Digital Sword: How to Study and Prepare a Sermon with Bible Software
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Digital Sword is designed as a guided learning journey, not merely a reference volume. The book is intentionally structured to help readers grow in both their understanding of Scripture and their ability to communicate it clearly. Nearly every chapter follows a consistent and reproducible format that introduces the chapter’s purpose, prepares the reader for study, and provides clear instruction for improving Bible study and sermon preparation through the strategic use of Logos Bible Software.
Each chapter then moves from instruction to practical application, walking the reader through two recurring biblical passages—Psalm 103:1–5 and Matthew 8:23–27—so that concepts are learned in context rather than in abstraction. Supplemental online training videos focused specifically on Logos Bible Software are provided to reinforce learning and demonstrate how to apply each concept within the software environment. These lessons are followed by structured summaries that review key goals, strategies, tactics, common pitfalls, and interpretive cautions.
To ensure learning is retained and applied, key chapters conclude with self-examination questions that function as a built-in coaching tool, helping readers evaluate their understanding and intentionally apply what they have learned. Each chapter also includes carefully selected recommended resources to assist in building a robust Logos digital library. Readers are encouraged to work through the example passages alongside the text, treating Digital Sword as a hands-on course that integrates Scripture, software, and practice—aimed at fostering faithful study, clear communication, and sustained growth in handling God’s Word.
