Bible Essentials was produced using the Logos Library System, Version 2.0, but it is compatible with the Libronix DLS. You will have to install the old Logos system first, but once installed, Libronix will automatically read AMG’s resources.
Zodhiates’ word study tools have been a valuable resource in my own library, and having them in an electronic format that is quickly and easily searchable is an added bonus.
System Requirements: Windows 3.1 or later, Minimum of 33Mhz 486 or better, 8Mb of RAM memory required, VGA graphics card and monitor, Hard disk with at least 20 megabytes free, CD-ROM drive.
Biblical Languages Supplement for Logos Series X

Wow! A great choice in Bible Library software just got better. In an attempt to compete in the area of Biblical languages, Logos (www.logos.com) has added a wonderful language supplement that takes your study of Greek and Hebrew to a new level.
Installing the BLS will automatically update Libronix to version 2, adding new search features and exegetical tools. Along with providing additional language resources (and it is an extensive list!), the BLS adds visual filters that will chart and graph search results, compare translations, display verb characteristics (voice, tense, mood, person), and more. These visual filters will provide you with new ways to look at a text your studying and will, without a doubt, enhance your exegesis.
In addition, the BLS includes a sentence diagrammer. This new feature will allow you to type in English, Greek, or Hebrew. Or you can import a text — every word is color-coded on the basis of its function in the sentence. Every word can be individually manipulated (color, size, font) and moved. Also, the diagrammer includes various types of lines and symbols with adjustable sizes.
I’m continually impressed with Logos Series X, and the BLS is yet another reason to place your Bible study resource dollars in the Libronix Digital Library System.
The Essential IVP Reference Collection
This is a must have resource. Since I probably can’t say anything better than J.I. Packer, let me just quote him: “I cannot imagine that there is another CD-ROM in the world offering as much accredited help to the serious Bible student as you find in The Essential IVP Reference Collection. Up-to-the-minute academically, lucid, lively and sometimes provocative, it is a truly magnificent resource.”
The Essential IVP Reference Collection (www.gospelcom.net/cgi-ivpress/book.pl/code=1435) utilizes the Libronix DLS, and includes the New Bible Dictionary, New Bible Commentary, New Dictionary of Theology, New Bible Atlas, New Dictionary of Biblical Theology, Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels, Dictionary of Paul and His Letter, Dictionary of the Later New Testament & Its Development, Dictionary of New Testament Background, the Bible Background Commentary for the Old and New Testaments, Hard Sayings of the Bible, Dictionary of Biblical Imagery, and the Pocket Dictionary series.
