Free iPhone Bible app will access up to 10,000 books
Thursday, November 05, 2009 - 05:31 PM ES

Logos Bible Software has released a freeiPhone app designed to help  
people get more into Bible study than ever before. Unlike most Bible- 
related iPhone apps, which are merely Bible readers, the Logos Bible  
Software iPhone app delivers tools and resources to help you study the  
Bible with your iPhone or iPod Touch in ways never before implemented  
on a mobile device.

"When we set out to develop our iPhone app, we wanted to replicate the  
functionality of our desktop software," said Bob Pritchett, President  
of Logos Bible Software, in the press release. "Not only did we do it,  
but we are now able to reach our greater goal of getting more people  
into the study of God's Word by giving this app away for free."

Currently the Logos Bible Software iPhone app is a free download that  
can access 30 of the Bibles available at Logos' Online Bible with no  
registration required. If a user would like to access even more  
titles, they may register for an account and get access to an  
additional 30+ titles from devotionals, to commentaries, to original  
biblical language resources including:

• Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
• Easton's Bible Dictionary
• Systematic Theology (Strong)
• New Nave's Topical Bible
• Morning and Evening
• Strong's Concise Dictionary of the Words of the Hebrew Bible and the  
Greek Testament
• Dictionary of the Vulgate New Testament
• And many more...

If you have the newest version of Logos Bible Software's desktop  
application, Logos 4, then you will also have access to many of the  
books from your Logos base package. Currently more than 2,000 titles  
can be viewed on the Logos Bible Software iPhone app and more will be  
added regularly until more than 10,000 titles are available on the  
iPhone.

The Logos Bible Software iPhone app is designed to help you do more  
than just read the Bible. Dig deeper into the Scripture with the  
Passage Guide. Enter a verse and click "go" to receive a report  
linking directly to commentaries referencing your verse. The Passage  
Guide also provides a cross reference list, media resources, topics,  
and interesting words. All linked to resources in your library.

A second way to get deeper into Bible study is through a Bible Word  
Study. Tap and hold any word in a Bible with a reverse interlinear and  
a pop-up will display the English word along with all the original  
language information. From this pop-up, click Bible Word Study to see  
the definition, pronunciation, translations, and example uses of the  
various translations.

Finally, complete your Bible study by comparing verse across various  
translations with the Text Comparison tool. Open a verse in Text  
Comparison and see exactly where each translation differs. No other  
Bible app for the iPhone provides the depth of tools for Bible study  
that the free Logos Bible Software app provides.
