			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Logos 4 is here. I posted about it earlier this morning. But if you quickly go and get it, remember that since it is a whole new program, rewritten from the ground up, it is really Logos 4 1.0.&#160; Being a 1.0 (essentially) it actually has a few missing features compared to the previous version 3.&#160; One of those is my favorite, the diagramming too.</p>
<p>Other are missing too. You can find out what here: <a title="http://www.logos.com/4/missingfeatures" href="http://www.logos.com/4/missingfeatures">http://www.logos.com/4/missingfeatures</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The day I’ve been looking forward to is here.&#160; The countdown ends at four.&#160; For the last few days @logos, on Twitter, has been counting down from 10 and everyone assumed it would end later this week at one. But today it finishes with 4!</p>
<div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:d89abd23-67e6-45d2-acd9-9401f82f99a2" class="wlWriterSmartContent">
<div><embed height="421" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="505" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KGjKR1soWek&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en" /> </div>
</p></div>
<p>I get to help the folks at Logos announce <a href="http://www.logos.com">Logos 4</a>, their latest version of Bible Study software.&#160; It is a huge rewrite and quite a departure from the previous version.&#160; These guys don’t mess around with incremental updates that few see any real differences.&#160; They don’t do this very often. But when they do, you see the difference.&#160; Just look at the screen shots below.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.kevinpurcell.org/wp-content/uploads/image17.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://www.kevinpurcell.org/wp-content/uploads/image_thumb7.png" width="500" height="376" /></a></p>
<p>Above is the old Logos 3.&#160; The familiar home screen that houses most of what Logos has to offer.&#160; You see the Passage, Exegetical and Word and Topic Study guides.&#160; When I first saw this I was amazed and my whole system of searching for content in Bible Study changed.&#160; Still there in Logos 4, the guides are better due to the level of indexing that Logos 4 does at the beginning of installation.&#160; What used to take minutes now takes about a minute, depending on how many tools you have installed.</p>
<p>However, as you can see below, Logos 4 opens up and gets in your face with a vastly different opening interface.&#160; The guides are all there, in the menu at the top. And you can drag and drop them onto the toolbar. I have done that with one guide. Look at the little icon next to the long box just above my email address – at least the blurry blob that would be my email address.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.kevinpurcell.org/wp-content/uploads/image18.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://www.kevinpurcell.org/wp-content/uploads/image_thumb8.png" width="491" height="296" /></a></p>
<p>Also, with Logos 4 your license and preferences are synced with their servers.&#160; This makes for both a good and bad thing. The good thing is that you can install it on multiple computers and it will essentially have the same content and configuration. But you will have to be online to do this.&#160; Here comes the cloud.</p>
<p>I will have much more to say about Logos 4 in my <a href="http://www.ccmag.com">Christian Computing Magazine</a> article this month.&#160; Be looking for it. But until then, here are some more screen shots.</p>
