The latest issue of Logos NewsWire announces that the Logos Blog has been revamped. It is easier to navigate, and looks much better. To celebrate this re-launch, Logos is offering a free commentary download — Tyndale’s Cornerstone Biblical Commentary, vol 11 (Matthew and Mark), by David L. Turner and Darrell L. Bock, respectively –,  (only until the whole Pre-Pub series moves into production).  To get your free download, go to this page, add it to your cart and use coupon “CORNERSTONE”. If you are not a Logos user you will need to create a free Logos account first, then download a copy of the latest Libronix engine (free) and finally create a Libronix Customer ID. The unlock and download script will do the rest.

Gonzalo Díaz informs us of the availability of Kalós version 4.13 (for Mac and Windows), which includes an improved look-and-feel, as well as several hundred new entries, covering all NT canonical forms. Here is the full list of improvements.

Danny Zacharias has been keeping busy, developing sets of multimedia Greek flashcards. These NT Vocabulary Expansion Packs, designed for use with Flash! Pro (PC) and iFlash (Mac), are keyed to the following 1st year Greek textbooks: Learn To Read New Testament Greek, A Primer of Biblical Greek, Basics of Biblical Greek and New Testament Greek Primer. See the demo video or these screenshots. He has also made available some free Greek flash animations. You can download them here. They were originally created by Glenn Wooden and he developed them specifically to work with Bill Mounce’s Basics of Biblical Greek. Hint: Danny embeds them in his Keynote presentations.

Mark G. Vitalis Hoffman reviews a Vulgate-based Bible software called VulSearch 4. Despite being freeware, it has some nice features not always found in commercial programs. It allows users to view and search the Latin Vulgate alongside an English or French Bible.

Finally, webmasters who run websites, blogs or forums which make frequent use of Bible references might be interested to know that Logos has enhanced a nice little script called RefTagger. This free utility is now highly customizeable and makes the full Bible text pop up when you hover over any Bible reference. The currently available versions are NLT, ESV, KJV and NKJV.
