Logos 2.0 Level 4

Logos Bible Study Software 2.0 Level 4 contains:

The King James Version: Also known as the “Authorized Version,” the KJV is still the most widely used text in the English language. The Logos KJV includes the Strong’s Numbers which allow English readers to identify and search for underlying Greek and Hebrew words in the original text; Electronic Edition – Logos Research Systems, Inc., 1995.
The New International Version: The NIV has become the best selling English version of the Bible since the King James Version. The NIV follows the principle of “dynamic equivalence” to insure crystal clear understandable English. The NIV may be the most readable English Bible ever produced; from Zondervan, c1984.
The American Standard Version 1901: The ASV has long been regarded by many scholars as the most literal English translation since the King James Version- maybe the most literal translation ever. This has made the translation very popular for careful English Bible study, but not for ease of reading. While the KJV was translated entirely from “western manuscripts,” the ASV 1901 was influenced also by the older “eastern manuscripts” that form the basis for most of our modern English translations. Because the ASV 1901 is very difficult to find in print, Logos is pleased to be able to preserve and distribute this significant work. This is an excellent choice for comparative English study; Electronic edition – Logos Research Systems, Inc., c1995.
The New American Standard Version: While preserving the literal accuracy of the 1901 American Standard Version, the NASB has sought to render grammar and terminology in contemporary English with special attention given to the rendering of verb tenses to give the English reader a rendering as close as possible to the sense of the original Greek and Hebrew texts. Passages with Old English “thee’s” and “thou’s” etc. have been updated to modern English, along with updates to words whose meanings have changed in the past 20 years. This is an excellent choice for comparative English study; from The Lockman Foundation, c1986.
Revised Standard Version: The original Revised Standard Version has served for more than forty-five years. The standard English pew Bible for many denominations, the RSV has become a benchmark for comparison to other English Bibles.
Nestle-Aland/UBS Greek with GRAMCORD Morphology: The Greek New Testament UBS 3rd Edition (Corrected) Sometimes referred to as the “critical text” or the “eastern manuscript tradition,” this is the Greek text most widely used today. It is the basis for nearly every modern Bible translation in the past one hundred years. The Greek text is identical to the Nestle-Aland 26th/27th Edition. The GRAMCORD morphological concordance of the Greek text is one of the most highly regarded works of its kind in the academic world. Designed to meet the needs of Bible scholars and utilizing the language of seminary environment, this work is desired by the practicing clergy as well as the academic. The Logos 2.0 implementation of the GRAMCORD data base offers the additional usefulness of a non-technical interface, thereby allowing an even broader audience access to the data.
BHS (Hebrew) with Westminster Morphology: K. Elliger, Editor. A revision of Kittel, Biblia Hebraica, prepared by H. P. Ruger and other scholars on the basis of the Leningrad Public Library manuscript B 19A Copyright 1984 by the United Bible Societies. Often referred to as the “Masoretic Text” or simply “BHS,” this is the Hebrew text most widely used today. It is the basis for nearly every modern Bible translation. Containing both full diacritical annotation and vowel pointing, it is the text of choice in most seminaries, Bible colleges, and universities.
Septuagint with Morphology (Alfred Rahlf’s): The Septuagint (LXX ) is the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, which according to tradition was done by seventy Jewish scholars (hence the name) sometime in the 3rd century BC. It is the Bible which the Greek-speaking world read during the time of the apostles, to which Paul would have referred in his dealings with his churches. The Rahlf’s edition is the most modern critical edition of this text. The morphology, prepared by the University of Pennsylvania, gives the user the ability to draw parsing and glossary information directly from the text, which is especially important because the Greek of the LXX is significantly different from that of the NT.
Byzantine/Majority Textform: (The New Testament in the Original Greek According to the Byzantine/Majority Textform). Coming from the “western manuscript tradition,” the Byzantine majority Greek text is a “theoretical text.” Put together from hundreds of fragments and pieces, it represents the “text” that agrees in the numerical majority with most, if not all, known western manuscripts and partial manuscripts. It is from this family of “western” or “Byzantine” texts that the King James Version and the Dutch Staten Vertaling came into being.
Textus Receptus – Stephen’s 1550 (Greek): Coming from the “western” or “Byzantine” manuscript tradition, the Textus Receptus 1550 Greek text is best known as the basis for the King James Version or Authorized Version completed in the year 1611. Today, with most modern English translations based on the “eastern” manuscripts, there is renewed curiosity and interest in the “western” text. This is a valuable add-on to the Logos Bible software library and a useful text for comparison for those with proficiency in Greek.
Textus Receptus – Scrivener’s 1881 (Greek): Coming from the “western” or “Byzantine” manuscript tradition, the Textus Receptus 1881 Greek text is the corresponding Greek text to the 1611 King James Version. The Scrivener text is a modified Stephen’s 1550 Textus Receptus in which changes have been inserted to represent the alternate “majority readings” chosen by the KJV translators. The intention was to re-create a Greek text that exactly matched the translator-modified 1550 text and the resulting English version. This is a useful text for comparison for those with proficiency in Greek.
Latin Vulgate (Biblia Sacra Vulgata): Jerome’s translation of the Greek and Hebrew Scriptures into the vulgar (common) tongue of his time: Latin. It was recognized as authoritative during the Council of Trent (1546) and became the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church from that time to Vatican II, ca. 1964. The widespread use of the Vulgate is also recognizable in its influence in early modern Bible translations, such as the Authorized, or King James, Version. Since Jerome lived in the fourth century AD, the original text “developed” much as the Greek autographs did, with geographical variant readings, etc., and the modern edition is a critical text from these variant manuscripts, much as is the case with modern Greek texts. The Vulgate continues to be of scholarly use today in the study of the textual transmission of the Bible and in the historical study of Christian theology.
Vine’s Expository Dictionary: meanings of Greek and Hebrew words to life for the : Vine’s Expository Dictionary brings the student possessing a comprehensive, a limited or a non-existent knowledge of the original languages. Vine’s includes both Old Testament and New Testament words in this complete expository dictionary of more than 6,000 biblical words from the original Hebrew or Greek. When you put Vine’s Expository Dictionary together with Logos Bible Study Software and Strong’s Numbers you have a link from the original language to the exact Strong’s number which can be researched further in any other lexicon or reference work you have. Vine’s has been a choice of scholars and laymen alike when they need to gain a comprehensive understanding of the original language meanings from some of the world’s foremost Greek and Hebrew experts; from F. H. Revell Co., c1981.
Tense, Voice, Mood: Tense, Voice, Mood is a database of parsings for every verb in Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia Hebrew and Nestle-Aland, Byzantine Majority, and Textus Receptus 1550 Greek texts. Verbs’ forms are assigned numbers like Strong’s numbers. The parsings are based on two 19th century works edited by George V. Wigram, Analytical Greek Lexicon of the New Testament and Englishman’s Hebrew and Chaldee Concordance of the Old Testament. In Logos Bible Study Software 2.0 the TVM number is automatically displayed at the bottom of your workspace as you draw your cursor over the King James Version of the Bible; Electronic Edition: Logos Research Systems, Inc. c1995.
Theological Dictionary of the New Testament: “Little Kittel” is considered by many to be the best New Testament dictionary ever compiled. It contains 2300 entries which cover the spectrum of biblical topics from “A to Z.” The one-volume abridgment of the 10-vol. Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, keeps most if not all of the information that pastors and laypeople can use, leaving out the technical and bibliographic information. It explores how each word is used, often in detail, explaining and expounding the underlying concepts. As a consequence, within 2.0, this work allows people who are not scholars to develop a deep understanding of the meaning and usage of words and concepts in the NT, letting them appreciate the nuances of meaning in the text and giving them a deeper understanding of what the biblical author is saying.
A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament: Bauer, Arndt, Gingrich and Danker Recognized by many as the most comprehensive Greek-English lexicon available. A working knowledge of the Greek alphabet is necessary, as all word listings are in Greek. The lexicon lists English translation options for each New Testament Greek word, and gives citations for the use of these words in classical Greek writers, in the Septuagint, throughout the New Testament, and in Patristic Greek (the early church fathers).
Liddell and Scott’s Intermediate Greek Lexicon: An abridgment of the Oxford Greek Lexicon, the most complete standard reference for ancient Greek from Homer to the Patristic writings (with excellent coverage from NT and Septuagint Greek)
Louw-Nida Greek Lexicon: A modern Greek lexicon using the concept of “semantic domains.” This lexicon differs from other lexicons in that it does not arrange words alphabetically and it does not give one listing of a word with all of that word’s meanings after it. Instead, it breaks words down by their various shades of meaning. It then groups all of those entries together and organizes them by topics and sub-topics. It shows the nuances in word meanings and explains difficult expressions and idiomatic usages of words, and even provides advice on how words might be translated under various conditions. Since it groups words by meanings, it shows distinctions in meaning between similar words, and also between differences in one word’s meaning in different contexts, as well as showing the overlaps between word meanings.
Greek New Testament Insert – Chapman: This is a book on Koine (Koy-nay) Greek grammar (the spoken Greek of the NT period, and the Greek used in the New Testament). The insert is clearly designed to be an aid to the reader/exegete of the Greek New Testament. The nature of the insert is not necessarily lexical or morphological, rather it strives to educate the user regarding grammatical and syntactical issues faced by the student of the Greek New Testament and Koine Greek in general. The insert is a tremendous compliment to the Greek lexicons, texts, and morphology.
New Bible Dictionary: The New Bible Dictionary is a unique work of reference, ideally suited for people of all ages and backgrounds. An “A to Z” of Bible terms, written by an international team of more than 150 scholars. Includes more than 2,000 entries with notes on place-names, studies of words and doctrines and comprehensive articles on books and people of the Bible. To help clarify the text it includes maps, family trees, line drawings, diagrams, and charts. It is a magnificent and comprehensive Bible Dictionary which will greatly increase the knowledge and understanding of God’s Word. This is an invaluable reference book for schools and colleges, for theological and Bible college students, ministers and layman, teachers and professional scholars – everyone who is interested in understanding the Bible; from Tyndale House Publishers, c1982.

Its eighty articles have been written by competent Roman Catholic scholars who frankly acknowledge their debt to non-Catholic research and who are fully aware of the ecumenical thrust of biblical studies. Their work reflects the new and vital interest in the Bible that is being experienced in the Catholic Church today.

Billy Graham says of the Nave’s Topical Bible – “Outside of the Bible this is the book that I depend on more than any other. Certainly there has been no book that has helped me more in my study.” Revised and expanded; Electronic Edition: Logos Research Systems, 1994.
New Topical Textbook: Written in the tradition of Nave’s Topical Bible, the New Topical Textbook is a practical tool for approaching the Bible text by topic. The most useful aspect of this work is that it is surprisingly different from Nave’s in its selection of topics; Fleming H. Revell Co., c1897.
