Original Languages with Logos for Non-Scholars: Morphology & Grammar

About This Training

In this training, Dr. John Fallahee walks through practical ways to study the original languages of Scripture using Logos Bible Software, focusing on morphology and grammar without requiring advanced linguistic training. You'll learn how to interpret verb tenses, voices, moods, and cases to gain a more accurate understanding of biblical passages, such as seeing how "kissing the bride through the veil" illustrates the importance of precise grammatical details. The session includes hands-on demonstrations of tools like the Exegetical Guide, which breaks down word-by-word morphological data, and Cheat Sheets that visually explain grammatical patterns so you can apply them directly to your Bible study.

The webinar also covers how to use Logos’ Personal Book feature to organize key resources like the Dictionary of Biblical Languages, grammar guides, and cross-referenced notes in one accessible place. You’ll see how to build custom study guides and collections that connect your Bible text with word studies and commentaries, making it easier to explore terms like "grace" or "faith" in their original contexts. These practical workflows help you move beyond surface-level reading to engage with the text’s depth in a way that supports spiritual growth and a deeper knowledge of God.

What You'll Learn

• Learn how to interpret verb tenses (e.g., present active indicative) and moods (e.g., imperative) to understand actions like ongoing sinning or commanded kindness
• Explore case analysis (genitive for possession/origin, dative for source) to clarify relationships like "law of the Spirit" or "by grace"
• Use the Exegetical Guide to examine morphological details of key words in passages such as 1 John 3:9 and Ephesians 4:32
• Access visual cheat sheets that explain grammatical patterns like perfect passive (completed action by another) and present passive (yielding to the Spirit)
• Build a personalized study system using the Personal Book to organize dictionaries, grammars, and cross-references in one place
• Practice word studies with lemma searches to see all forms of a word (e.g., agapao) and manuscript searches for exact spelling matches
• Set up custom study guides that link your Bible text with lexicons and commentaries for efficient word analysis
• Understand how prepositions (e.g., "by," "through") and participles (e.g., "being filled") shape meaning in passages like Ephesians 2:8–9 and 5:18
