Comparing Logos Basic (FREE VERSION) and Logos Fundamentals

[@rsm1161]

They have the fundamental set including Calvin's entire commentary! Really cool for us reformed guys

[@dailytheology1689]

Bought the reformed starter version after watching this... really want to speed up tracing people, maps, words, and original language meanings, this may have created a monster, I also think it will be helpful during family worship to trace down, hymn history, people and very interesting stuff!

Hey PT…I’ve been using the free version of L9 and loving it. I made a quick video of the differences between L9 and Accordance. I wonder if you’ve looked at L9 and now L10 specifically the mobile app. Is it worth what looks like a $250 intro fee for what you’d get on L10? I already own a few “study bibles”. Thanks for your input.

[@PastorTanner]

Great question. The 'flagship' upgrade is the incorporation of the physical library for searching. Many people found the upgrade to be worth it from just that perspective. If you have a large print library that you would love to be able to search INSIDE of Logos, that is a real game changer. As far as mobile goes, there is one key feature that I have found very helpful, and that is the digital read aloud function. Being able to turn all of your Logos books into audio books (albeit a bit robotic) is pretty strong. If neither of those features appeal to you, it might be a pass.

[@ClaimingChristianity]

@@PastorTanner Awesome! Thanks. I do have quite a bit of print resources so that feature intrigues me. The $250 bucks is a little hard as I’m not a full timer. But it may be worth it for the print feature. I buy “most” of my book in kindle/audible to be honest cause they’re cheap and I can search my highlights and notes pretty easy. Thanks for the comments! I appreciate it!

[@dearien]

I just got the free version and buy books when I need them, most of the time when they are on sale. Logos can be on the pricey side if you go all in on it. I just recommend just buy what you need.

[@PastorTanner]

This is a great approach, dearien. My video on Logos for Cheap recommends a similar strategy. If you are patient you can build an excellent library over time.

[@SaneNoMore]

The Faithlife Study Bible was available in print (I have one). To find one today you have to search for used copies though.

[@PastorTanner]

I was unaware of that. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@artartartart777]

Have you ever heard ofbible hub. It has a bunch of Commentaries including Pulpit. It interliner. It had strongs Concordance. And much more. Its also free. So i said all that to say, i am thinking about getting fundamental but after watching your video i might try basic to get used to the logos app. Thanks

[@jasonkim624]

thank you for the great video again, can you do one for academics bundle? I have few commentary sets already (olivetree/books) so I dont need more commentaries but want to get more into greek and hebrew. What would you recommend

[@PastorTanner]

Ok! I’ll do it soon. :)

[@brentarnold4442]

Thank you sir! This was a very helpful video 👍

[@normankellogg6624]

One thing I forgot to ask about: Since the NASB is not Public Domain, does it need to be purchased? I'm the poster boy for cheap.

[@PastorTanner]

Almost every major translation is a separate purchase. Most are in base packages of some kind if you want a group discount. Though it is a higher overall price.

[@justinwalley2569]

What about the tools and features. I have basic, and a friend has gold and it seems like we have all the same tools on iOS version with the exception of like… draw on screen and sermon prep.

[@PastorTanner]

Yes, the tools and features that are made available at each level are not always 100% clear. Furthermore, a feature may open up that you do not use or have no interest in using. If you aren't looking for a specific feature, I would go for a package based on library and usability. If you are looking for a specific feature, it can be very helpful to look in the feature sets to see the lowest possible level that feature is offered at.

[@normankellogg6624]

What if I want to add other BIBLES such as the NASB and NKJV ? Can I also download them onto a Windows desktop and Windows laptop at the same time? Also, what if I also wanted to NOT have all those pictures on the opening page, but just want to list my entries by name only...#1,#2, #3, etc.?

[@PastorTanner]

Yes to both, Norman. They have almost all of the major translations and you can have them downloaded to as many machines as you like as far as I am aware. You can turn off the landing page so that you don't see that stuff - mine is defaulted to off. :)

Great video PT thanks man

[@zionitesabado8684]

Sir how to transform it to the dark mode? Just like yours? Thank you

[@PastorTanner]

Available in L9 or better I believe. You should find the option under program settings to toggle between light and dark mode.

[@CliveChamberlain946]

Thanks for the review! For KJV-prefered studying (dispensationally), I tend to agree with the extras in Fundamentals but, if you're on a tight budget, go for Basic with Thomas Newberry's TR-based interlinear (it works out cheaper).

[@casey1167]

If you are KJV why in the world would you use a software package developed in conjunction with Verbum Software?

[@CliveChamberlain946]

@@casey1167 I don't know about Verbum Software. What I mentioned is listed on Logos as "The Interlinear Literal Translation of the Greek (Newberry Interlinear)" at $30. I also added the Young's Literal Translation (YLT) at $10 so I can follow along with Dr. Randy White's ATT broadcasts in 3 column format. On Faithlife he freely shares 20 years of his Logos Bible notes along with custom TR color shading that follows the Greek he teaches. The next addition may be "The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge" at $18 it's huge, linked and affordable.

[@casey1167]

@@CliveChamberlain946 My issue is LOGOS owns Verbum, although you might find LOGOS very useful, if you are KJV at all my opinion is you should stay away from software company that produces Verbum because there will be a Catholic influence.

[@patrickbarnes9874]

You can have it fast, good, or cheap. Pick 2.

[@PastorTanner]

Nailed it

[@joesousa8481]

I have the mobile basic package, and it comes with 240 resources!

[@theressaferrell2199]

Thank you but you would think they would have Bible trivia questions and answers😊

[@PastorTanner]

AMAZING idea

[@stuck_between_stations-cn7yx]

The amount of resources they removed from Fundamentals between 9 and 10 is kind of sad.

[@PastorTanner]

This is the first I'm hearing of it. I might have to check Fundamentals 10 out.

[@socialwill]

@@PastorTanner Agreed. V10 was a big change in what they offer with Fundamentals. Several of the items are now in Starter, but still not as much as before. As an example there are not any Interlinears on any v10 version now.

[@PastorTanner]

@@socialwill Ah, didn't realize that about the interlinears. Thanks for the heads-up.

slow down please

[@gregcopeland7646]

Logos is expensive and continues to freeze.

[@robertrodrigues7319]

Esword is far superior and it's Free

[@robertrodrigues7319]

Logos Basic is far too stingy, not for me.

[@AncientApparatus]

3:50 REALLY???... BUT you're not getting recent "good" (air quotes) resources. All because it's from a "traditional" (no air quotes) perspective? That's the problem with the "modern" Church is that they reject the wisdom of those who came up in the past &, in my opinion, were far more knowledgeable of God's Word. Then he, Pastor Tanner, says it's because they are not the most "recent" in scholarship. I would tell him what he could do with his most "recent" scholars but God has transformed me & given me a new heart! Just because we have "older" manuscripts doesn't necessarily mean they are more accurate nor does it mean they better clarify God's Words. I would trust the wisdom of our recent "scholars" about as much as I would trust "The Message" over the King James Bible!!! NOTE: I have no doubt whatsoever that we are living in the end times so for all we know all those recently found "older" manuscripts were unearthed (so to speak) to confuse or distort not to clarify God's Word for Satan's purpose rather than for God's. Now more than ever we have to be VERY careful on who we read & listen to, more isn't alway better!!!

[@justinhemion6279]

I wholeheartedly agree my friend... god bless you...and HE has and does

[@theressaferrell2199]

Awesomely agreed also you would think they would have Bible trivia ! hI i download it Bible trivia from an NIV The questions were not right nor the answers to it I emailed them the next day I got a evil scripture from them an attack from Satan🎉 The true gospel of Christ the word not the taken away or added to the word ❤

[@theressaferrell2199]

Lord I pray for revealing of the truth the gospel spread throughout the whole world

[@casey1167]

But why would you be using a software from a company that develops Verbum ? Same people that work on LOGOS...... maybe some conflict there....

[@AncientApparatus]

@@casey1167 I'm not sure what you mean but I the Worseach 10 software I use, which btw I love but they no longer support, came with a NASB Bible I got at men's retreat many years ago. I have found it, both the Bible & software, to be very informative & accurate.

[@stuman2780]

You keep saying "honestly" and " I gonna be honest with you" . .... by saying this all the time it's really hard to take anyone who says that as an honest person. 😮😊

[@PastorTanner]

Interesting. I see it as a standard turn of phrase, much like we often don’t mean ‘how are you’? When we ask people that question. Human language is full of weird quirks when you think about it. However, if my language quirk makes you think I’m a liar, that’s fine too. Take care.

[@stuman2780]

@PastorTanner I didn't call you a liar, you said that. However, trying to convince your viewers by constantly reiterating those phrases does bring you into suspect. 😆... some people can't deal with polite criticism.

[@PastorTanner]

Fair enough. 👍

[@alivenazarene1422]

This entire program is geared towards the “reformed” guys. I love you, but I fundamentally disagree with how you frame your election theology because you gloss over or completely neglect that God’s determines election based on His foreknowledge. Foreknowledge of what? His foreknowledge of our selection. Foreknowledge bears more explanation than you’re all willing to give it. Anyway, I’m going to pass on this.

[@thornbird4400]

Any available reading on this? I’m somwhat interested to find out more for my own study.
