But that doesn’t mean we took a vacation from delivering improvements to your experience of studying God’s Word! From refined navigation to newly-included content, these updates are all about helping you save time and stay focused on God’s Word.

Updates at a glance
- Summarize your Factbook Journals and Sermons: Sleek new look and easier navigation, plus you can now summarize your Journals and Sermons.
- Improved highlights: Bible verse highlights no longer automatically show up in your commentaries.
- New reverse interlinears included: See the Bible in its original languages and English together, line by line, side by side.
And more!
1. Summarize and new styling on Journal and Sermon sections in Factbook
Factbook, you’re looking good these days. The Journals and Sermons sections in Factbook just got a styling upgrade similar to what you saw with the Commentaries section in the last update. Not only that, our powerful Summarize tool now works on your Journals and Sermons.
A cleaner arrangement (and article previews) means it’s easier to browse and decide where to focus your reading. For those with extensive journal libraries, new grouping and sorting options (by author, year, or title) help you find exactly what you’re looking for in moments.
Make sure the highlighter ink doesn’t leak onto your commentary page.
Previously, when you highlighted a Bible verse, those highlights automatically appeared in all related commentary entries. Now, with version 39, highlights stay within the Bible, keeping your commentaries clean and uncluttered.
*The web version is coming soon.3. More reverse interlinears included
Read the Bible in English and in its original languages—line by line and side by side. Version 39 expands access to reverse interlinears, including for the Complete Jewish Bible English-Greek New Testament. This enhancement provides a deeper understanding of the original languages behind the text.
Perfect for serious students and language lovers, these are now included for our subscribers. As a special Christmas gift, we’ve also given these reverse interlinears to all Logos 10 Full Feature Set owners, free of charge! Here are some of the interlinears with new availability:
Logos Premium and up
- New Cambridge Paragraph Bible: Old and New Testaments
- New International Version (Anglicised Edition, 2011): Old and New Testaments
Logos Pro and up
- New Revised Standard Version: Apocrypha
- Authorized English Version (1873): Apocrypha
- King James Version: Apocrypha (English-Greek)
- New Cambridge Paragraph Bible: Apocrypha
And don’t forget, these reverse interlinears are also available to users with a Logos 10 Full Feature Set, as well as subscribers.
A snapshot of more updates
Cumulatively, small improvements like these elevate the entire app experience, and they demonstrate that we aren’t just about big, flashy new features, but about making Bible study better as a whole.
— Adam Borries, Software Program Manager
- Automatic precision: Sometimes, only a precise search will do, so Logos will now switch you to that mode if you need it.
- Mobile app: When you’re navigating to a different part of the Bible, you can now type a reference (e.g., “John 3:16”) instead of tapping on the menu to select book, chapter, and verse.
- Citation improvements: Turabian, 9th ed. (fullnote), has been added, providing more flexibility for academic writing.
- Better link handling on Windows: Links now open directly in Logos without detouring through a browser, saving time and clicks.
- Sermon Builder enhancements: You can now edit passage blocks directly within the Sermon Builder, making it easier to refine your content.
