How I Use Logos Bible Software (with Jason Stone)

Kirk E. Miller

Jason Stone recently invited me on to talk about how I use Logos Bible Software. (We barely scratched the surface!)

    Some follow up clarifications and answers to questions that were raised:

    1. The reason I couldn’t find any good examples of notes in the NET is that I had closed the NET and was accidentally looking at notes in the ESV notes—whoops!
    2. I’ve made my Custom Guide public, which can now be accessed here.
    3. Regarding the Information Tool, this page states, “You can change the settings so that the Information tool updates when you click a word instead of hover over it by clicking the panel menu icon  and selecting Click instead of Hover in the Update on: section. To freeze the Information tool: highlight a word or phrase and hold down the Cmd key (Mac) or Ctrl key (Windows) when moving the mouse.” In other words, use Cmd, not Shift, to lock a selection when set to hover.
    4. I confirmed, I have HALOT prioritized over NIDOTTE. However, it seems that the Information Tool provides a prioritized dictionary resource before one’s prioritized lexical resource. So that’s why NIDOTTE appeared on top in that instance.
    5. For those looking to subscribe to the Notes on ESV translation updates, you can find out how to do that here. I learned this from Mark Ward.

    Making Sense of God and The Reason for God by Timothy Keller (Book Recommendation)

    Kirk E. Miller

    Is Christianity relevant to our contemporary lives? Why should someone even consider its claims? And if considering its claims, what of the many objections to Christianity? Is it true? In this pair of books, Making Sense of God and Reason for God, the late pastor Timothy Keller seeks to show how Christianity both answers our deeper longings and holds up to the deepest of scrutiny.

    Dominion and Dynasty by Stephen Dempster (Book Recommendation)

    Kirk E. Miller

    Have you ever read a portion of the Old Testament and wondered to yourself, “What does any of this have to do with the larger story of the Bible?” In this book, Stephen Dempster helps us grasp the grand story of the Hebrew Bible by examining the twin themes of genealogy and geography (seed and land). Dempster takes us on a journey through the Old Testament, showing us how it’s not just a random collection of stories but a carefully woven narrative that brings coherence to the Bible’s overall message.
