LOGOS edition of The Lutheran Study Bible Now Available via LOGOS’ iPhone App
This morning I installed the LOGOS iPhone/iTouch/iPad app on my iPad and was delighted to see, as I loaded the various volumes in my LOGOS library, that LOGOS has “flipped the switch” on The Lutheran Study Bible to make it viewable via the LOGOS app. It is fantastic! To use this functionality you have to have purchased one of the new LOGOS 4.0 packages, or upgrade your system software. Please consult with LOGOS for technical support on this if you don’t know how to get this working on your iPhone/iTouch or iPad. Here’s the tech support number: 1-800-875-6467.
Here are three screen shots from my iPad, in vertical display mode and horizontal display mode. There are three pictures: (1) The TLSB showing the LOGOS App controls showing; (2) How it looks in vertical read mode; (3) And then horizontally displayed. You can click through on the image to the super-sized version of the screen. Click on the picture, go to the next page, click on it again, and voila.

So, now I can read and use The Lutheran Study Bible on:
- My desktop computer
- My laptop computer
- My iPhone
- My iTouch
- My iPad
- My Kindle
How and on what devices can you read/use The Lutheran Study Bible?
You can read The Lutheran Study Bible Kindle edition, via the Kindle app on:
- All Apple computers and smart phones and iPads.
- All PC computers/laptops/netbooks.
- All Blackberries
- The Amazon Kindle Android app is on the way.
You can read The Lutheran Study Bible LOGOS edition:
- All Apple computers, iPhone/iTouch/iPad.
- All PC computers.
The DRM e-Pub version of The Lutheran Study Bible is coming soon.
The iBookstore version of The Lutheran Study Bible is coming soon.
Oh, yes, the other option you have for reading/using The Lutheran Study Bible is by reading the actual book. If you want to get all old school about it.
Any word on when we might get Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions through the Logos app? I would really like that too, but have been waiting, and still am waiting…
Nope, no word. LOGOS decides when they want to “flip the switch” on visibility to the series.
Sorry to be a pedant, but for the sake of the small minority of us who use PCs but not Windows:
I think what you mean by “All PC computers” is “All Windows computers”. There are other PC operating systems out there than Windows, and the electronic book offerings are far more limited for them (mainly epub, mobi, pdf).
Yes, you are being a pedant. Any PC computer can use these resources. If the user chooses not to install Windows on his/her PC, that’s his choice. I’m unaware of any PC that comes out of the box without a Windows OS installed on it, and if there are any that do, that number is so minuscule as to be irrelevant.
Pastor McCain,
I would really enjoy having The Lutheran Study Bible on Logos. I’m unable to afford to upgrade to Logos 4, so I’ll have to settle on using the Kindle version on my PC.
I have Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions Second Edition on Logos 3. Shouldn’t a person upgrading from 3 to 4 retain his library from version 3?
Or, is Concordia not available on a new install of Logos?
Jack, not to fear! TLSB LOGOS edition works just fine in LOGOS 3. You don’t have to have LOGOS 4 to use TLSB in LOGOS edition, but you do have to have a LOGOS 4 upgrade to take advantage of the new LOGOS app for iPhone. Hope that makes sense. I bought the least expensive upgrade to 4 and all my CPH LOGOS resource work just peachy keen.
Thanks for your response, Pastor. I’m really glad that I can use TLSB on Logos 3.
I’m not yet interested in putting LOGOS on my iphone, so the Kindle version will do there.
Will there be a separate Android version or do we just wait for the Kindle version for Android to come out?
Hi Ted,
I’m not sure if LOGOS has plans to release their App for Android. We have no plans to support, directly, the Android platform, or for that matter, any platform, with our own stand-alone app. I do think your best best for now is to wait for Kindle for Android.

As a layperson not familiar with LOGOS, I’m unclear on how this works. I just want the LSB for my iPod. Can I download just that, or do I have to commit to a huge product purchase?
Gretchen, can you clarify something. You say you want TLSB for your iPod. Do you actually own an iPod, or an iPod Touch? Here, I’ll ask it this way.
Do you have one of these?

Sorry, it’s an iPod Touch.
OK, thanks. Good.
You can buy the Kindle edition of TLSB and then read it on your iPod Touch using Kindle’s App for the iPhone/iTouch.
Ah, got it, thanks.
