Reb: I've used QV for over ten years and have found it to be little more than an ebook reader with some hyper-linking and synchronization (e.g., Bible/Commentary). That's a good place to start learning about what Logos can do. I would recommend watching the videos on the Logos support page. But it's it well worth the time and effort. And because it can do so many different things, it takes some time to learn how to use it properly. The more things that a piece of software can do the more complicated it will be to learn. Logos is a 'professional level' research tool - not a just a simple home Bible study program - like most others out there. It can do much more than the other programs I own. But then I started watching all of the videos and really saw what Logos can do. One of the things I thought when I fist started using Logos a while ago was that this software is just too complicated. When you run one of these on a Bible passage it's like running 20 different mini search engines all at the same time - with each searching for different things that have to do with the passage you're studying. Non of the other Bible software's out there have anything that can compare with The Passage and the Exegetical Guides. It's very similar with Logos and other Bible programs. But you can not do with Sketch-Up what you can do with Auto-Cad. Auto-Cad is a professional level program that takes some time and effort to learn how to use. It would be like comparing the professional drafting/architectural program called Auto-Cad - to another very simple one like Google Sketch-Up. A good description would be to say that most other Bible software's are about 1 (or maybe 2) layer deep in search capability and so on, but Logos is a real Bible research program that's 20 layers deep.Īnother good description, when comparing Logos to other Bible software, would be to make an analogy. What I've found is that Logos has so much more depth than all of the other ones I've used.

I own several different Bible software's - including the one you mention - so basically I can say I've tried most of them.
