Logos Mobile - Factbook

Print Friendly and PDF

 

The Factbook deepens your study by providing instant access to textual and visual information from across your library. It is the most powerful feature in the Logos mobile app to find details about biblical people, places, historical events, theological topics, and more.

Note: Because the Factbook pulls from a variety of Logos resources, it requires at least a Starter base package.

Open the Factbook

Tap the Factbook icon Factbook icon to open the Factbook in a new panel.

Factbook Sections

Whenever you run a Factbook search, Logos displays results customized to your library on your selection.

Factbook search results

Because Logos customizes each Factbook to your library and available resources, each result will show customized results. Most entries contain a basic definition and a Key Article summarizing the subject in a few short paragraphs. Other sections include:

  • Media: photos, videos, maps, presentations, and more from your library.
  • Key Passages: Bible passages that address your entry.
  • Dictionaries: a list of dictionaries with articles on your Factbook entry.
  • Journals: articles from journals you own related to your entry.
  • Sermons: sermons you own addressing your Factbook entry.
  • Events: biblical events connected to your entry.
  • Books from Your Library: owned monographs related to your Factbook entry.
  • See Also: other content connected to your topic like Guides, locations, people, concepts, and more related to your entry.

Special Sections

Some Factbook entries contain special content specific to their type. Here are a few examples.

Bible Books

If you view a Factbook entry for a biblical book, a Bible reference guide appears. These book overviews not only provide regular Factbook resources, but also show a structured guide, detailing the book’s content, origin, background and more.
