For me, Logos Bible Software has provided more than a decade of discoveries that were only a double click away.

I recently received and have been spending time with one of the newest 2026 Logos libraries, and I thought a short write-up would pair well with my video review. Briefly, Logos has helped me as a pastor, as an academic student, as a Christian, and as a lover of technology…

As a pastor

The ministry is a constant crunch of one thing after another. And while Logos doesn’t do your work for you, it does help you with several time-saving tools.

Power Lookup

How many times have you read a book and came across a page-long list of references? Now, you may be the type that looks each one of them up. Or, you might not (as many would probably confess). With Power Lookup, Logos automatically looks up every reference you read for you.

Print Library

Not only does Logos look up references as you read, it can also help you remember a quote when you can’t even remember the book it came from.

Though it has been out a little while, the Print Library feature is a way to search through books that you may own physically but haven’t yet purchased digitally. With a simple click or barcode scan, you can add your physical books and commentaries to Logos and search through them just as you would any other resource. And amazingly, not only will it tell you what book that quote came from, it will even point you to the page number with the surrounding paragraph for context.

As a student

Weird, but one of my favorite parts of graduate school was writing papers. For me, it was like a devotional experience. But the footnotes and bibliography, not so devotional.

Copy Citations

Amazing quotes. Tedious citations. MLA, APA, Chicago… where does that period go… or is it a comma?

With Logos Bible Software, you don’t have to think about footnotes anymore. As you copy and paste your research into your documents, Logos automatically copies the footnote (in your preferred citation style) for you and paste it as a footnote in your document. That feature alone is all a college student needs to hear.

Creating Bibliographies

But what about when the paper is finished? Oh yes, the dreaded bibliography. You know you were supposed to work on the bibliography as you did the paper… but you didn’t. And now it is 11:00 pm and the paper is due at 11:59 pm. With Logos, you can complete your bibliography and have 50 minutes to spare.

As a Christian

Perhaps you’re thinking, “But I will never preach a sermon or write a paper. How can Logos benefit me?”

Study Assistant

One of the newest Logos features is the new Study Assistant. All over the world, there are people who pay $20 a month (some a lot more) for the ability to chat with AI. What if you could limit those chats to just your trusted biblical resources, instead of all the data AI has scraped from the World Wide Web?

Using the Study Assistant tool, you can carry on theological discussions with your Logos library. And since you aren’t actually reading books you don’t own, Logos has also included the ability to have those same discussions with all Logos books. As you chat, you’ll receive biblical answers that include footnotes showing exactly where in your library it found the answer. From there, you can open the link directly to that part of the book in your library. And if you don’t own that book, then you can link out to it for purchase, add to your wishlist, or simply have on radar for the future.

As a “technologist”

During a recent study time for a lesson on the 1st commandment, a single double-click in Logos uncovered a rabbit trail for me. I didn’t broadcast the entire rabbit trail in my Sunday school lesson, but it did point me in the right direction for how to make a strong application in my conclusion. It is easier shown in the video, so be sure to check out the YouTube link below. Briefly, a double click on the English word Mammon led to looking up μαμωνᾶς in BDAG which caused my eye to catch that same word as an entry in the Dictionary of Deities and Demons… conclusion: we are to have no other gods before the Lord, including what we eat and what we wear—materialism isn’t just misplaced priorities but can become substitute lords.

I love technology. Perhaps this blog post, artificially dated January 24, 1984, will clue you in. I also love the Lord. And while those loves are different types of love, I believe they both are a result of grace: love for the Lord as a result of saving grace and love for technology as a result of common grace. Technology is not my enemy; the misuse of it is. Rightly used, it is my friend. It helps me uncover biblical gleanings I otherwise would not have had the time or talent to discover. For me, Logos Bible Software has provided more than a decade of discoveries that were only a double click away.

Perhaps a single-click to my 2026 Logos Libraries review can help you decide if you too want to affordably invest in a lifetime of studying God’s word… one double click at a time.
