BELLINGHAM, WA (October 20, 2011) - New Catholic software packages from Logos Bible Software literally surround the Bible with the Tradition. The Bible becomes the hub around which the intellectual, spiritual, and doctrinal Tradition of Christianity revolves. Logos software is revolutionary in that it moves Scripture out of the "technology" of the book and into a new form that, while cutting-edge, actually facilitates a return to a more traditional understanding of Scripture study.

Logos Bible Software is a leading publisher of Christian digital books and the leading Bible software company. With Logos the Scripture is at the center of a massive library, some 17,000 resources. These texts are all linked together and to the Scripture in such a way that with just a couple clicks you can explore the entire Christian tradition's interpretation of a certain passage or doctrine. Logos is, therefore, profoundly suited for Catholic Scripture study because it allows you to approach the Bible not as a stand-alone text, but as a text in constant dialogue with the living Tradition of the Church. Logos also has hundreds of language tools and resources that allow you to delve deeply into the Scriptural text in the original languages, even if you don't know Greek or Hebrew. The software provides hundreds of hours' worth of research in seconds. And it is all presented in an intuitive and totally customizable interface.

We Will Pray with You: Light Your Virtual Prayer Candle

The software organizes massive amounts of information and orients it all on the Scripture. This means that the software's functionality depends on the books you have in your library. What the new Catholic libraries allow is for you to start with a huge library of Catholic resources. You start with the Bible in the middle of the Catholic Tradition. From there, you can build a totally custom library based on your own interests. The Bible itself, though, is never divorced from the Tradition.

Because Logos works across all platforms and syncs itself across all your devices--desktop, laptop, smart phone, tablet--you can always read the Bible in this manner. Just a few years ago such a style of Scripture study would have required thousands of volumes of printed books, expertise in research, and the ability to read multiple languages. Logos Bible Software, therefore, represents a paradigm shift for Scripture study.

Please visit Logos.com/catholic to read more, watch a demonstration video, read endorsements, and see a complete list of the packages' contents.

What people are saying:

"I've been a happy and satisfied Logos customer and cheerleader for over 15 years and have recommended the software countless times to folks on my weekly radio show, at my parish seminars, and talks. I'm very excited about Catholic base packages and whole-heartedly recommend them."

--Patrick Madrid, author of 16 books on Catholic themes, director of the Envoy Institute of Belmont Abbey College, adjunct professor of theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville, and host of the Thursday edition of EWTN Radio's "Open Line" broadcast (3-5 pm ET).

"There is little doubt that I am one of the first Logos users. I've used it continuously since 1990. Why have I continued to use it through the years? There were three answers, and now there are four. First, Logos has always been on the cutting edge of software technology for Bible study. Second, it's customer support and training are unsurpassed. Third, it has always been powerful and easy-to-use and keeps getting better. The fourth reason has just arrived: in addition to all the excellent resources it has now added Catholic materials for which I applaud Logos. As a Catholic convert I am very excited about these new resources."

--Steve Ray, popular speaker and author of St. John's Gospel, Upon This Rock, Crossing the Tiber, and host of the popular TV series The Footprints of God.

"I use the Catholic Logos Bible Software daily as a prepare blog posts. I've also used Logos for my doctoral dissertation, and in both books that I've written. I can copy and paste quickly and easily into a MS Word doc or into a blog post. I also appreciate how I can customize the presentation in a Catholic way. I have my window set up so that I can see the Greek, Latin Vulgate, and the Douay-Rheims English - each is searchable. I was delighted that Logos has the traditional Clementine Vulgate for academic research. Five stars!"

--Taylor Marshall, author of The Crucified Rabbi: Judaism and the Origins of Catholic Christianity and The Catholic Perspective on Paul

"This is more than software. It's a respectable theological library that fits easily onto an iPad and goes everywhere you might have to go. In some ways it's better than the bookshelves of a theological library, since it's searchable. Logos is helping us train for the kingdom of heaven--with treasures old and new (Mt 13:52)"

--Mike Aquilina, author of more than thirty books on Catholicism, Executive vice-president of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, co-host with Scott Hahn of eight series that air on EWTN.

"Having been a Logos customer for years, I've benefited from more expedient searching and volumes of biblical resources. And as a professor of Scripture for Catholic seminarians, I can't express just how enthused I am about the new Catholic Resources collection at Logos. Hundreds of volumes of vital Catholic texts at one's fingertips ... from the Church fathers to Catholic bible translations to the Summa and Newman, Ratzinger - even St. Thérčse of Lisieux! Way to go, Logos!"

--Dr. Steven C. Smith, Assistant Professor of Sacred Scripture, Mount St. Mary's Seminary
