It has acool layout with incredible customization … AlthoughI have only tried theWord recently, I would (and will)highly recommend it for all, especially those who hungerand thirst after righteousness.
• I've been using your WONDERFUL one of a kindSUPERIOR and free Bible program, theWord, for about 2years now. I can't tell you how grateful I am and how muchit continues to help me spread God's Word. One use Ifind EXCITING is the ability to highlight a Bible verseon a webpage, you know those lazy admins who don't link oruse a script to pop up the verse....but THEWORD COMES TOMY RESCUE - it senses a Bible verse has been copied intothe clipboard and UP POPS the verse instantly -for a quick miraculous reference. Wow!!!
• Best Bible Software ever! The interface is very intuitive!It helps me so much in my theological studies,especially in exegetic of the living Word of God
• My wife and I just discovered theWord -- thank you SO much foryour time and ministry there in creating and maintaining suchan incredible piece of technology to help spread the Gospel.Besides the solid product, your skill with the User Interfaceis absolutely incredible! I have to chuckle (as one that oftenreads the manual last..) as each time I'm looking for somethingnew (and expecting to find it perhaps 'missing' or hidden-as in other programs-), in theWord I find it is right whereit 'should be!', and is easy to use, and works consistently!... Heartfelt Thanks and God's Blessings to you as you continue Hiswork!
• Your theWord is the most outstanding of all Bible softwareI came across.
• I am using other Bible software too, purchased themin X amount of dollars. But yours, theWord, is the mostoutstanding one in every way. Rich in resources,easy to use… Of all IT IS FREEEEEEEE!! What I can say!?
• I'm always touched by your EXCELLENT WORK which keepsgetting BETTER! Will you please pass on my thanks to thebenefactor who helps defray your costs and time? The worldowes both of you for offering THE WORD, whichaesthetically and functionally trumps costlier products.I always have to sit down and recover from the shockthat IT'S FREE!!!! Woh.
• I'm more than excited that I got theWord from a friend.It's so exciting using this Bible software. I've usedthree other Bible software but this one gives me a uniqueexperience and an unbeatable match compared to the othersand you know what, it's free!!! God bless you immeasurably.
• I have QuickVerse Platinum, BibleSoft, threw away eSword,almost complete library from Wordsearch, but NONE compareto theWord! it is the most versatile and feature rich programavailable. And yet, free! May GOD bless you richly, forall that you have done to promote HIS WORD.
• I've used many Bible programs over the past 15 years and amabsolutely convinced that theWord is by far the very best!
• Thank you for creating the best free Bible software ever made!I like the popup that helps beginners the first time they runthe program. The documentation is clear and up to date.And the author eagerly assists people who need help in the forums.And there's so many commentary and dictionary modules availablefor theWord now that I see users of other software makersconverting them. That's how successful theWord has becomeand I'm thankful for it.
• Amazing software. The best I have used by far! The authorof the software also goes above and beyond to assist the usersof the software through the forum.
• I've been using computer-based Bibles since around 1990.I was a huge proponent and contributor to the old 'The Online Bible'when it was still a fairly new product, and I've used manycommercial and free Bible programs, including the more recentstrong contenders. There are good programs out there.But I've got to say, no one has managed to provide theusability you have. It's a real challenge to allow one todisplay so many modules and not lose functionality or makeit very confusing. But you have excelled at this.
• I use your program daily. It provides the ability to probe thescriptures for greater depth. I tell people to get this and useit in conjunction with their scripture reading, for it gives youinstant access to tremendous resources, the kind that onemay find at university level. May God bless you for showingkindness to Him, even if you only thought it was for us.

And to mention alsothe numerous resources available, books, bibles, commentaries, etc.
  theWord is indeed the best among the rest! Even better than the paidones. And I know that there 's still so many features which I can finduseful as I continue to use it.
• WOW!!! What an awesome program! Thank you SO MUCH! I haven'tbeen this excited since QuickVerse 1. Ha!
• This by far the best Bible program! It has the Greek OrthodoxChurch's Greek text and Stephanus' 1550 Greek text plusAleppo Codex for the Hebrew text. It has Gomez's Spanishtranslation. All necessary Books! Every student, pastor,missionary, apostle, Bible teacher, prophet, prophetess,evangelist, critic, etc. should be using this Bibleprogram!
• I have over the holidays had time to explore theWord in more depth.I have to say, this is one of the most impressive Bible programs I have used.I was a long time e-Sword user and because of the newer updates waslooking for another program (e-Sword is a good program no sourgrapes) and dreaded making a change. theWord is the program, the learningcurve is small, the flexibility and user control is amazing.For higher end language studies I use BibleWorks but I am impressed withwhat can be done in language studies with theWord, the new morphingsearch is top notch.
  If you are looking for a Bible program thatwill meet your needs look no further theWord will provide youwith all you need and then some ... the forum is simplytop notch when help is needed. I am excited about future enhancementsthat are being made with this great program.
• This is one of the two top Bible software programs.Some programs are so 'top heavy' as to be too cumbersometo bother with. Others don't have enough resources,whilst still others have questionable content.the Word is in the category of excellent.
• I saw a write up about you and theWord software and wasimmediately impressed by the hours you have put in this ministry.The write up was in Calvary Chapel Magazine and I greatly respectthe ministry of Calvary Chapel so was excited to check outyour website and product. I have used Logos software for yearsand had just upgraded this year to a more comprehensive package atsubstantial cost. Oh how I wish I had seen this sooner!I praise God for your ministry of love to the bodyand though I have been laid off for over a year please accept thisgift and I look forward to installing the software on the laptopsfor portable use.

  theWord makes reading the bible from the computer anenjoyable experience.
• It just keeps getting better & better.I have a Bible program for which I paid several hundred dollarsthat does not have the versatility or user-friendliness oftheWord. Thanks for the hard work and giving spirit.
• I have used a number of Bible software packages in the past.theWord far surpasses any of them! It is well laid out,intuitive and easy to use, and packs a lot of information intoa single window. Thank you for making this available to everyone!
• Just delighted! I own the commercial programs from several majorcompanies but find so much here that this is the first program Iopen...

History[edit]

Free Bible App For Mac

Windows and Macintosh versions[edit]

Logos Bible Software was launched in 1992 by two Microsoft employees, Bob Pritchett and Kiernon Reiniger, along with Bob’s father, Dale Pritchett. The three quit their jobs to develop Christian software.^[5] After acquiring data from the CDWordLibrary project at Dallas Theological Seminary (an earlier Bible software package for use on Windows 2), Logos released an updated version called the Logos Library System platform in 1995,^[6] which added support for more resources and introduced the concept of a digital library.

After a long beta cycle that began in 1999,^[7] the LLS was replaced by the Libronix Digital Library Systems (or Libronix DLS) in 2001.^[8] This was a 32-bit application (LLS was 16-bit) and had been rewritten from the ground up in a more modular fashion that made it easier to add future expansions. As with all other versions of Logos Bible Software, it was offered as a free update to existing customers. In terms of branding, Libronix Digital Library System refers to the software itself, whilst Logos Bible Software Series X was used for packages that included both the software and electronic Biblical studies resources.

Version 2 of Libronix DLS appeared in July 2003 as Logos Bible Software Series X 2.0. This added support for documents such as notes and word lists, visual filters (which allow users to create rules to add highlighting and markup to resources automatically), and a graphical query editor.^[9]

Version 3 was launched in May 1st, 2006^[10] and introduced reverse-interlinear Bibles, the Bible Word Study tool, and syntax searches.^[11] The Series X name was dropped, and the software was known simply as Logos Bible Software 3. In March 2008 an alpha version of Logos Bible Software for Mac was released for testing,^[12] with the retail edition shipping in December.^[13] This was known as Logos Bible Software for Mac 1.0, and although based on the Windows version, full parity was never achieved, even with versions 1.1 and 1.2 which shipped in 2009.

However, on November 2nd, 2009, Logos announced Logos Bible Software 4 for Windows^[14], along with an early alpha version of Mac edition and a cut-down iPhone version. Like the original release of the Libronix Digital Library System, the application had been substantially rewritten, and featured a very different graphical user interface than its predecessor.^[15] Crucially, once the Mac version was completed, both editions of the software would be almost identical in function, and settings, documents and resources would seamlessly sync between the different versions. The Mac version reached beta in July 2010,^[16] and was released in September 2010.^[17] Various updates later came to both platforms, with version 4.1 (October 2010, Windows only) adding sentence diagramming and print/export,^[18] 4.2 (December 2010 on Windows, March 2011 on Mac) adding various minor features and bug fixes,^[19] 4.3 (August 2011) adding Personal Books to allow users to add their own content,^[20] 4.5 (January 2012) adding improved notes and highlighting^[21] (4.4 was skipped), and 4.6 (August 2012) offering bug fixes and a few tweaks.

Logos Bible Software 5 was released for both Mac and Windows in November 1st, 2012^[22][23], with an emphasis on connecting disparate features and databases, making Bible study easier and more efficient.^[24] Datasets and tagging added to Bibles meant users could now explore the roots of words and their sense, and the Sermon Starter Guide and Topical Guide made accessing Bible topics much simpler and quicker. Logos 5.1 (July 2013) added read-along audio and a new topic layout,^[25] with several more minor improvements in 5.2 (November 2013).^[26]

Logos Bible Software 6 was released in October 28th, 2014^[27],^[28] and became the first version to support 64-bit architecture. It too added a number of new datasets and features, including Ancient Literature cross-references, Cultural Concepts, original manuscript images, multimedia and the new Factbook that attempted to integrate the increasing number of databases to an even greater extent than was possible in Logos 5. Logos 6 also integrates with the Send to Kindle service provided by Amazon.

Logos Bible Software 7 was released in August 24th, 2016^[29]. Features added with this full version include, Sermon Editor, Course Tool, Figurative Language (interactive), Hebrew Grammatical Constructions, Longacre Genre Analysis, Sentence Types of the New Testament Dataset, Quickstart Layouts, Speech Acts, An Empty Tomb (interactive), Exploring Biblical Manuscripts.

Logos Bible Software 8 was released in October 29th, 2018^[30].

Logos Bible Software 9 was released on October 26th, 2020^[31].

Logos Bible Software 10 is anticipated to be released on the last Monday of October in 2022, which will be October 24th, 2022^[32].

Mobile versions[edit]

An iPhoneapp was released alongside Logos 4 in November 2009. It allows users to access most of their Logos resources on the iPhone, with basic search and study features. Resources can be accessed over the cloud, or downloaded onto the device for offline access. Native iPad support was added with version 1.4 in April 2010.^[33] Version 2.0 (January 2012) added notes, highlights and inline footnotes.^[34] Version 3.0 (August 2012) added reading plans and community notes,^[35] and version 4.0 a new UI updated for iOS 7. A topic guide was added in 4.3 (June 2014), and a scrolling view in 4.4 (December 2014). The app is now available in several 'flavours'. In addition to the standard Logos Bible Software app, other very similar apps exist under the Faithlife Study Bible, Vyrso, Verbum and Noet brands. These apps offer similar functionality, different branding, and a slightly different UI. The iOS app was awarded the DBW Publishing Innovation Award in 2011.

An Android app entered a public alpha in May 2011,^[36] with a beta in July,^[37] and 1.0 released a year later. The initial release allowed little more than the reading of Logos books, so version 2.0 followed quickly in August 2012, which added notes, highlighting, reading plans, Bible Word Study, the Passage Guide and a split-screen view. This brought much closer parity with the iOS app,^[38] and future development has continued along similar lines to the iOS version.

Bible Software Mac

Rebranded versions[edit]

Faithlife Corporation also produces two rebranded versions of Logos Bible Software with almost identical functionality. Verbum is aimed at Roman Catholics (and adds databases of Catholic topics and Saints, and more data from the Deuterocanonical Books), and Noet is for those undertaking scholarly work in the humanities, particularly the classics and philosophy.

Reception[edit]

Each version of Logos Bible Software has generally been received very positively by reviewers and Christian leaders. It is frequently praised for being user-friendly,^[39] having the largest number of available resources of any comparable software,^[40][41] and offering unique tools and datasets not found in any comparable products.^[42] However, it has also received some criticisms for its high cost^[43] and lack of speed when compared with other Bible software packages.^[41]
