Studying a Passage with Logos Bible Software (LT102) takes you through a specific passage step by step to teach you how you can use Logos for interpreting any Bible passage. This is a concise course on how to study the Bible in context from a first reading through detailed analysis. First, it shows you how to read your preferred Bible in comparison to other versions side by side, so that you can note and analyze the differences. Then it shows what you can do with the Exegetical, Passage, and Bible Word Study guides. Using them, you can do grammatical and structural analysis and conduct cultural background and word studies. Finally, the course shows you how to use these guides to find what others have said about your passage in ancient sources, in commentaries, and in biblical and systematic theologies.
