You've done the devotional apps. You've read the verse of the day. But you keep hitting a wall — you want to understand why Paul wrote what he wrote, what that Hebrew word actually means, or how a 2,000-year-old letter connects to the rest of Scripture. Logos is the Bible study platform built for Christians who are ready to go deeper.^1
Developed over 30+ years by Faithlife, Logos combines a massive digital theological library with research-grade tools that make serious study accessible — not just to seminary professors, but to small group leaders, Sunday school teachers, and curious believers. Tap any word in Scripture to see its original Greek or Hebrew meaning, pull up commentaries side by side with your Bible, compare translations with visual difference indicators, and use the Passage Guide to surface cross-references, literary context, and theological themes in seconds. With 40+ free Bibles and books included at no cost, and a library of over 250,000 titles available for purchase, Logos puts resources into your hands that used to require a trip to a seminary library.^2
Co-founded in 1992 by Bob Pritchett — who started building Bible software as a high school project — Logos (originally Logos Research Systems) grew from a teenager's homework tool into the world's largest digital Bible study platform. Pritchett began coding Bible software at 19, and over three decades built Faithlife into a company serving millions of users. As he describes it, the mission has always been the same: helping people understand the Bible by connecting Scripture with the best scholarship available.^4
Why Christians Love Logos: "Logos has transformed my study of the Bible. It has drawn me closer to Jesus in ways I never expected."^1 Users consistently describe Logos as a force multiplier for Bible study — one App Store reviewer, a mother of five, wrote: "It's not just for pastors. It's not just for sermon writing. This allows me a deeper study with My Savior. This is education at my desk or in my pocket so His word is ever before me. Seek and you may find. This allows me to seek ever more deeply and quickly. As a mom of five, time to study is short."^2 A pastor shared, "One thing I love about Logos is that I can take my whole library to Starbucks on my iPad. And I have essentially my whole research library."^6 Josh McDowell, founder of Josh McDowell Ministry, put it simply: "In my fifty plus years of ministry, I have never seen a tool contribute to Bible study the way that Logos has. It is a must-have for anyone who is serious about understanding the Word."^6
Logos has become the standard for theological education — Southern Baptist Theological Seminary launched a landmark partnership in 2025 providing all master's students with Logos Max (their highest-tier subscription valued at over $16,000), and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary entered a similar partnership, calling Logos the "premiere" Bible study platform.^7 With 750,000+ Christians studying monthly and 6 million users worldwide, Logos has quietly become essential infrastructure for how the Church studies Scripture.^1
