With a sleek and modern design and lightning-fast speed, Logos 10 is designed for the global Church and includes multiple new features geared to help users engage more deeply with the Bible whether they have five minutes or five hours.

“We are excited to release the latest version of Logos and to aid both individuals who have used our software for years, as well as new users who will discover simplified and amplified theological learning,” said Phil Gons, Chief Product Officer. “With Logos 10, we have improved the Logos experience to better meet our users’ needs and adapted to the rapidly changing world around us where technology solutions are more important in supporting ministry expansion than ever before.”

Logos 10 is launching in seven different languages and is specifically designed to aid researchers, students of Scripture, pastors and church leaders around the world. New features include:
