Yes, its true that I travel over 120K+ miles a year and share how awesome Logos Bible Software is at conferences around the world. In all honesty, Logos Bible Software is the best hands down. Whats crazier, is that it keeps getting better. I’ve had the opportunity to play with version 6 for over a month now. Every pastor and ministry leader needs tools that help him/her dig deeper into the word of God and really be prepared for ministry. Logos is that tool and version six makes it event better. Here are a few new features that I think are game changers.
Visual Copy :
As pastors, we are always looking for insights from those that have gone before us (ancient church fathers) or those that are around today that can speak into various areas as a result of their specialties (Timothy Keller on Culture and Church, N.T Wright and the Resurrection). We usually come across something specific that someone says and want to quote directly to that. In the past that required searching print books, then copying the quote word for word on paper or into our computer, then sending the file to our A/V person to create an amateur looking slide or have it printed into a church bulletin. Today, with L6 your old process looks like this. Search the topic, highlight the quote, create your “visual Copy” slide, and save or send to Proclaim Church Presentation Software.

Factbook:
This feature is literally like having a team of research assistants that compile all the information necessary to be an expert on any person, place, or thing. Factbook brings all your written, visual, and interactive media together in one place to give you the breadth of information that Logos has to offer in a quick search.
Prepare to be amazed:
Cultural Concepts:
One of the most important aspects to biblical study is an understanding of the culture and context. I love the conversation that occurs between Tim Keller, D.A Carson, and John Piper as they discuss the importance of application and understanding of culture and historicity. Essentially, as students of God’s Word we need to have an understanding of the cultural climate that is occurring to understand the writing and intended meaning of the author. A clear understanding of the cultural and historical landscape allows us to connect the dots in our sermon and teaching preparation. Cultural concepts in Logos allows you to do this like an expert, within seconds.
