Libronix Digital Library System. 3.9 on 84 votes. The Libronix Digital Library System is a technology used to deliver digital libraries of books and interactive study tools. Feb 02, 2009 I did not make this torrent, I just put together the necessary files in one simple package. Even at that, it seems to be really hard to find.

(Retail cost, $599.95*)

The earlist computer programs for Bible study were mainly electronic concordances, which enabled the user to locate words and phrases quickly in the Bible by carrying out electronic searches (something a computer does well). Partition manager for mac free. The dream, however, was to have a fully functional electronic library that would fulfill one's total research and study needs and could be carried around on a laptop. With the latest offering from Logos Research Systems that dream has finally come true.

Logos Bible Software Series X is built on the Libronix Digital Library System, a technology used to deliver digital libraries of books and interactive study tools. It fully integrates web technology, including an interface using Microsoft Internet Explorer (upgrades and downloads are Internet-enabled as well). This package features over 230 reference tools and other works, including original-language Bible texts, Greek and Hebrew lexicons, and grammatical resources. Many practical tools for busy pastors are also included.

The user interface radically distinguishes Logos Bible Software Series X from other Bible software programs. It is launched from a familiar web-style home page, giving the user fully automated access to the most frequently used texts and study tools. The Passage Guide lays out commentaries and cross-references on a passage. The Word Study Guide provides a context-sensitive report of all the lexical data available, including Strong's numbers and the ability to generate Englishman's Concordance in real time for each Greek or Hebrew word. The Exegetical Guide provides a similar report, but integrates a gloss (translation) as well as parsing information for each Greek or Hebrew term. All of this is generated automatically with only a couple of mouse clicks. These guides represent the main study tools, but Logos Bible Software Series X is packed with others as well: customized prayer and Bible reading lists, a feature that compares parallel Bible versions, topic and reference browsers, and the ability to add your own customized notes.

Over 2,250 additional titles from more than 100 publishers are available for purchase in the Logos Bible Software Series X format. These include the updated Theological Journals Library from Galaxie Software, the new third edition of Bauer's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature (BDAG), the Hebrew-Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament from Brill, the Word Biblical Commentary, the New American Commentary, and (recently announced) the Life Application Commentary, as well as many others. With this program one can truly create a digital research library for Bible study and exegesis on a laptop computer.

Logos Bible Software Series X represents a significant leap forward in electronic Bible study technology, although the native Greek and Hebrew interfaces as well as the search engine's original languages capability could be improved somewhat. Such development work is currently in process, according to the manufacturer.

Overall Logos Bible Software Series X Scholar's Library delivers all that it promises and more as a digital library system. It is an essential ministry tool for busy pastors and scholars alike.

W. Hall Harris

A DTS faculty member for over forty years, Dr. Harris has worked extensively on the Gospel of John, and now collaborates with faculty from other departments teaching courses on C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, science fiction, and the intersection of theology and technology. His wife is a native of Germany, and he worked closely with the German Bible Society (Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft) as lead editor of the New English Translation— Novum Testamentum Graece New Testament. Since 1995, Dr. Harris has served as Project Director and Managing Editor of The NET Bible (New English Translation), the first modern Bible translation to be published freely on the internet (netbible.org) and now published in print by Thomas Nelson Bibles. He has served as both translator and General Editor for The Lexham Greek-English Interlinear New Testament: SBL Edition, and General Editor and NT translator for the Lexham English Bible (LEB). Dr. Harris serves on the board of directors of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM.org), and as an ordained minister, he has served in various churches as pastor of single adults, elder, adult Sunday school teacher, and small group leader.

This software represents the latest development in the venerable Logos Bible Software Series X software line. Building on the high-end Scholar’s Edition, Silver Edition raises the bar high in terms of both excellence and inclusiveness of powerful academic resources for both pastors and biblical scholars.

Logos reports that the Silver Edition includes approximately $8,000 worth of print-equivalent content, and integrates completely with the almost four thousand other titles now available, with many more offerings being announced on an almost-daily basis.

The Scholar’s Library Silver Edition (as does the Scholar’s Library itself) now fully integrates all thirteen of the add-in modules—many of which were formerly separate products (such as the Biblical Languages Supplement and the Original Languages Supplement). The Biblical Languages Supplement includes a number of helpful features for working with the original languages, including “Visual Filters” that mark up a resource automatically (including the Morphological Filter which provides markups for Greek and Hebrew morphological coding).

The Silver Edition adds only one English Bible, the kjv Word Study Bible (Zodhiates) and its associated Complete Word Study Bible Dictionary, and four volumes of Zodhiates’s Sermon Starters.

However, the real value in the Silver Edition lies elsewhere, namely, in the inclusion of quality technical resources for students of Scripture. The edition includes Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia with the Groves-Wheeler Westminster 4.0 Hebrew Morphology (again, as does the Scholar’s Library QB)—itself a powerful inducement to upgrade to gain the corrections from previous versions as well as the new features (e.g. cantillation and accent marks, annotation of the differing electronic editions of BHS, the textual annotation from the Westminster Morphology Database, and the inclusion of Ketiv/Qere readings). Gesenius’s Hebrew Grammar as well as the Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament Scriptures complete the Hebrew-related offerings.

Of particular benefit to students of the Greek New Testament is the inclusion of the Newberry Interlinear Literal Translation of the Greek New Testament as well as Friberg’s Analytical Greek New Testament and the USB 4th edition Greek New Testament with Morphology. Also included are the Analytical Lexicon of the Greek New Testament (by Friberg), the Concise Greek-English Dictionary of the New Testament, and A Greek-English Lexicon of the Septuagint (by Lust, Eynikel, and Hauspie). Download randy orton burn in my light mp3. Trench’s Synonyms of the New Testament, Nunn’s The Elements of New Testament Greek, and his A Short Syntax of New Testament Greek join the existing original language reference tools. The Swanson New Testament Greek Morphologies for both the UBS 4th edition and the Westcott-Hort edition round out the Greek New Testament tools. Other versions of biblical texts included are the Latin Vulgate, as well as several Syriac texts (Curetonianus, Sinaiticus, and the Peshitta) and the Analytical Lexicon of the Syriac New Testament.

The Silver Edition includes the older but still useful multi-volume Keil and Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament. Thirty-one volumes of the scholarly New American Commentary (all that were available at the time of production) are included, as are the more popular-level Daily Study Series of the Old Testament and William Barclay’s Daily Study Series of the New Testament. Several classic Greek Commentaries are included (e.g., Lightfoot’s commentaries on Colossians, Philemon, and Philippians). Rounding out the collection are the Early Church Fathers (thirty-seven volumes) and Ancient Egyptian Literature (three volumes by Lichtheim).

The Word Study Guide (keyed to Strong’s numbers) and the Exegetical Guide (keyed to the original languages) are still the starting points for serious and detailed study of the Scriptures. The sentence diagramming feature offers a helpful perspective to analyze a passage visually. The Graphical Queries feature facilitates complex grammatical (and other types of) searches. But this feature, while powerful in and of itself, has not quite attained the fully developed ease of searching in Oak Tree Software’s Accordance or BibleWorks 6.0.

While the recommended system requirements are rather moderate (128MB RAM and 700 MHz Pentium III) and will deliver basic performance, most users will notice dramatically improved performance from a faster processor, at least 512 MB of memory, and enough hard disk space to fully install all the resources from CD or DVD.

Libronix Gold Scholars Library System

In short, the Logos Bible Software Scholar’s Library Silver Edition is a large theological library, research assistant, and advanced study tool combined in one comprehensive package. It is an essential upgrade to the professional’s library, and one that any serious student of the Scriptures should carefully consider—and look no further.
