At the end of 2014, we shipped a massive update to the?Lexham Bible Dictionary?(LBD) that pushed the article count to over 5,000 articles and its word count to over 2.7 million words. In a few weeks, we?ll ship another update that includes?over 1.3 million new words across over 1,800 more articles.
Have you ever picked up Wayne Grudem?s massive 1,300-page?Systematic Theology? This update is the equivalent of adding?two?of those huge tomes to the LBD.
The most advanced Bible dictionary in existence is bigger than ever.
Not just more . . .?better
In addition to adding 1,800 more articles,?we?ve also revisited LBD?s most crucial and popular articles to ensure the content is up to our high standards. Our academic reviewers have tirelessly pored over thousands of articles, reviewing research and editing content so that you can find all the information you?re looking for?quickly and easily.
We?ve also updated thousands of links, enhancing the interconnectivity that can only be found in your Logos library.
Let?s say you want to see every dictionary article related to the canon. Our new mapping articles give you an overview of all the biblical traditions and the various critical issues related to canonization. From there, you can hone in on the particular area of research you?re most interested in. For example, here?s a?preview of?the new ?Overview of the Canon? mapping article:
We?ve also added links to related articles and updated thousands of bibliography entries with links to original sources that appear in Logos.
Information at your fingertips
Finding the most relevant information is easy with the LBD. The most relevant information is placed at the beginning of each article, letting you dig deeper as you continue reading. This makes it a great tool for Bible studies, Sunday school classes, small groups, and individual study.
Because digital books have no back cover, we?ll continue to add content that expands the scope of LBD and ensures it never goes out of date. When this new update ships, the dictionary will include 6,800 articles and over 4 million words.?That?s the equivalent of a 10,000 page book in print!
All of this amazing content and functionality is completely free. The?Lexham Bible Dictionary?is included in every?Logos 6 base package?and the?Faithlife Study Bible app.
