Logos Bible Software for Mac Now Shipping
BELLINGHAM, WA—December 5, 2008—Logos Bible Software began shipping  
the much anticipated Logos for Mac today to individuals who pre- 
ordered the program onwww.MacBibleSoftware.com.

Not being satisfied to simply port their windows version over to Mac  
using an emulator, Logos Bible Software spent three-and-a-half years  
rebuilding their award-winning Bible software from the ground up for  
Mac.

“With more and more of our users switching to Mac, it just made sense  
for us to build Logos for Mac,” said Bob Pritchett, President of Logos  
Bible Software. “Many Mac users have been running Logos using Boot  
Camp or programs like Parallels.  We’re happy to announce they can now  
run Logos natively.”

Logos for Mac offers users powerful tools and resources that any  
scholar can appreciate, while at the same time providing an intuitive  
and easy-to-navigate user interface.

 From the Home page of Logos for Mac, users can instantly begin rich,  
in-depth, Bible study.  Entering a passage into the search box and  
clicking “Go!” opens a window full of information and resources for  
the user.  The results include commentaries, cross references,  
parallel passages, maps, topics, and much more—all right there, all  
relating to the search query and ready to help the user get the most  
out of his or her Bible study.

Also available from the Home page is the Exegetical Guide.  Typing in  
a verse and clicking “Go!” offers the user tools to aid in original  
language studies.  From grammars to a word by word breakdown, Logos  
for Mac links to numerous titles within the program that help the user  
interact with a wealth of original language resources.

Good search functionality, like Logos for Mac offers, is really only  
as good as the resources the program is searching.  This is where  
Logos really shines.  To begin with, Logos for Mac offers five base  
packages that include anywhere from 170 to over 700 titles.  These  
base packages are perfect for individuals looking to start a digital  
theological library. Logos also sells individual titles ranging from  
popular works by authors like John Piper to highly specialized texts  
like the Introduction to Akkadian. Whether you are looking to start a  
library or build on an existing one, Logos for Mac is the perfect  
solution.

For users looking for speed, Logos for Mac delivers.  In the time it  
usually takes to find a book, pull it off the shelf and flip to your  
reference, Logos can search your entire digital library—potentially  
thousands of books—and return exact locations for the subject or  
reference you’re looking for.  No more thumbing through indices or  
having 10 different books open on your desk. Logos for Mac is the  
biblical research assistant you’ve always dreamed about having.
