To help our students be better equipped to complete their degree requirements and to help them be efficient in their study of Scripture, all degree-seeking students are required to purchase Logos Bible Software. Beginning in the fall of 2018, new students will receive a revised package that was built in cooperation with the Association for Biblical Higher Education.
The ABHE Essential Package offers students the full feature set of Logos 8 in addition to a specially selected group of resources, including the entire New American Commentary set (valued at $1,297 in printed materials alone) and the Tyndale Commentaries on the Old and New Testament ($269 value). In addition to the full package, students will also receive the Mobile Ed: Logos Academic Training Bundle ($99 value) which is used in our Advanced Bible Software course.
And CCBS students get all of it for the extremely low price of $300.
ABHE Essentials List of Resources (2018)
Logos users now have the option to download all resources onto a device or to access some resources from the cloud freeing up space on their hard drive. Downloading all resources is the best option and gives the greatest functionality; however, it does require a large amount of hard drive space if you have a significant library. This document explains how to add/remove resources.

Doing Research in Logos
The following 3 videos will help you think through how to use Logos in conducting research for a class paper. First, consider the direction of your paper. Then you’ll need to gather the sources. Finally, learn how to cite your sources correctly.
Step 1: Finding Direction
The first step in writing a research paper is to understand the general discussion about a topic. This video shows how you can use Logos to begin this process.
Step 2: Gathering & Analyzing Sources
The second step is to develop a working bibliography of sources that you need to read and analyze. This video shows you how to gather and begin working through those sources.
Step 3: Citing Sources
The third step in conducting research is knowing how to cite the sources properly. Logos can help, and this video gives a brief overview of how to do it.
