I converted them to RTF a few years ago with some nerd-magic, and I now use NVAlt to access them all. And many of them are long: they’re full of illustrations, sermon notes, exegetical thoughts, articles, book excerpts, and random comments from professors. I have BibleWorks notes on 4,383 separate verses, taken over many years. Logos provides a lot of flexibility, but I find myself defaulting to the same simple layouts-inspired originally by BibleWorks. (Parsing is available in a tooltip when hovering over a word, much like BibleWorks.) I can put a full Bible in the middle for context and I can keep the Information pane open, too, for original language info. Logos doesn’t have permanent panels like BibleWorks (though we have pre-made layouts and you can save any number of your own custom layouts), but the basic thought-flow/workflow can be the same as BibleWorks: do your search on the left, have multiple versions open in the middle, and set up the Information pane on the right.Īnother way I like to do something like BibleWorks is to use the Text Comparison window linked to my open Bible so it will update automatically (see on the left below). This tool shows me multiple Bible translations-which was always my favorite thing about BibleWorks-and has had a profound impact on my Bible study. I tended to keep the “Use” tab open-like a permanent Bible Word Study in Logos.) (On wide monitors I would often use the fourth panel, which became available a few versions back. You’ve got 1) search results on the left, 2) a “text comparison” window in the middle, and 3) the “auto-info” window providing lexical and parsing information on the right. It makes eminent sense because it represents the most basic Bible study workflow. I still love the basic three-panel BibleWorks layout. We at Faithlife/Logos are working to help you with Bibleworks closing. Those of you who have taken lots of notes in BibleWorks, in particular, will want to read on. Here are some ways that I have made Logos work like BibleWorks. I brought my BibleWorks sensibilities to Logos when, before I came to the company, I began replacing the former with the latter in my workflows. I’m genuinely sad to find out that BibleWorks is closing up shop. Everyone I knew from the company was a true Christian brother and a class act.

I still use BibleWorks for one ongoing project. I taught multiple whole-Saturday sessions on the software. I persuaded dozens of others to get it, and I even became an unofficial BibleWorks trainer for about ten years.

My first serious Bible software program (December, 2002) was BibleWorks, and as soon as I got it I was hooked. Facebook Twitter Reddit Pinterest Email LinkedIn
