Review: Logos Bible Software 2026 Libraries 2026-02-12T15:28:44+00:00 Adrian Warnock

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Here is a video in which I talk to you about the review version of the Logos Bible Software 2026 libraries, and show you how to approach choosing which libraries to buy and how to do this economically.

Also available wherever you get your podcasts, on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Please like, subscribe and follow.

I was kindly given a copy of one of the Preacher libraries by Logos so that I would review it, but I’m not constrained as to what kind of review I give. I confess that I so spend an awful lot of money of my own on Logos. If you want to contribute to my Logos addiction, please feel free to click on the affiliate links in this article and you’ll give me a small contribution towards that.

Now, when I am deciding which of the libraries I want to go for, which I want to pay my own good money for, one of the things I do is look at what’s available. The big question is how much can you afford? But it may be that you want to go for something in the middle, even if you’ve got extra money, because you could use some of that extra money in a different way.

I’ll give you a couple of examples.

Let’s look at Bibles.

You’ll see that actually the Bibles are not that good in many ways for these libraries. I think the assumption is that you’ve already got some Logos, but perhaps you don’t. Maybe you don’t have some of these translations. Maybe there are other translations you’d like.

Let’s take one example. The NASB. If you wanted just to buy the NASB 2020 update, it would only be $9.99. So why not buy that separately rather than necessarily one of the more expensive versions of the library?

But it gets more complicated than that.

If you click on “Learn More,” you’ll see that yes, you can buy it individually. But you’ll also see that it’s included in other collections. Believe me, you can spend hours deciding precisely what collections you want to buy!

The Mixed Bible Translation Collection is a really good one if you don’t have very many Bibles. It has not one, but six different Bibles, only for $40. They’re often about $9.99 each if you buy them individually. So you’re saving money and getting a number of Bibles here. If you don’t have these Bibles in your Logos, this is a great way to get them.

But what about commentaries?

That’s where a lot of these libraries really come into their own. As you can see, if you were going for a nice middle one, you get 255 commentaries. This is a big way in which it contributes to the cost of the items altogether.

There are a number of different commentaries here. Without going into too much detail, the ESV Expository Commentary, for example, is $189 if purchased on its own. The Silver Library is $279. You’d be a bit crazy to buy that on its own if you wanted some other things also.

You see a few others in here like Tyndale, Pillar, lots of these. Tyndale is $338 on its own.. Have a look. Decide what you want.

One of the things that interests me is the counselling and pastoral care section. I’m writing at the moment, as some of you may know, about The Traitor Within: Understanding and Healing Our Deceitful Hearts. Looking at some of the pastoral care material looked quite interesting. For me, I figured out which one I wanted. In this case I didn’t have to pay for it. But this is how I would go about selecting from the libraries.

I’ll show you one other thing which is quite interesting. This is how you can get sucked into a little bit of a detour, but it can be helpful.

Spurgeon

Here’s, for example, the Spurgeon Upgrade Collection. It’s two volumes. You think, “Oh, Spurgeon.” Perhaps you haven’t got any Spurgeon, and I would suggest you should get some. This is just £16 and gives you a taster. It’s in a few collections but not really many of them. This is an example where perhaps you would consider getting it on its own.

What’s important to note is that these are not the main Spurgeon sermons. What’s more to the point is the Complete Spurgeon Sermon Collection. That’s what I would advise people to get. It’s not cheap at $500. But what’s really interesting is if you look down the page, there are several different collections which include it that actually cost less! It’s very important to look there. You could save yourself a large amount of money and get some extra resources if you’re interested in Spurgeon by simply using this kind of approach. For example, Logos 8 Baptist Silver might be of interest. You click on that and you can see, in addition to the Spurgeon sermons, there are a number of other resources in there, including set of sermons by Adrian Rogers. Some Bibles, some commentaries, in addition to the Spurgeon that you’re looking for.

I hope that gives you an idea about how to try and make the best use of your money when it comes to Logos.

About Adrian Warnock

Adrian Warnock

Medical doctor · Published author · Patheos writer since 2003

I have always lived within sixty miles of London, UK where I studied, worked and worshipped for thirty years. I began writing for this Patheos blog in April 2003, making it one of the longest-running individual columns on the Christian Internet. My writing here, on Substack, and in my books is influenced by my medical training, eight years of working as a psychiatrist in the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), eighteen years working in medical research in the pharmaceutical industry, twenty-five years of serving as a pastoral leader in a growing multicultural church, and a difficult decade of lived experience with chronic illness, including blood cancer, and the unexpected losses, including early retirement, that resulted.

Together, these all shape a biopsychosocial-spiritual approach which I first wrote about on Patheos in 2013. This model offers us hope, compassion, and healing in all life’s challenges. This holistic approach is based on the idea that all truth is God’s truth.

At times, since my illness, my faith has been faint. I wondered if this was the end of my story. I was not strong enough to live for Jesus the way I wanted to. I could not change myself. And then hope reminded me: The resurrection of Jesus changes everything. Just not all at once. Healing takes time. Compassion and patience sustain us over a lifetime of change. I aim to approach suffering with hope and compassion, and address tough questions including:

What does Jesus’ resurrection mean for you?

Raised With Christ: How the Resurrection Changes Everything (Crossway, 2010; 2nd edition, Amazon, 2025)
Why is change so difficult? What causes the resistance?

The Traitor Within: Understanding and Healing Our Deceitful Hearts (Amazon, 2026)
Why is change so slow? How does grace lead us over a lifetime?

Amazing Grace: How Faith Grows in the Human Heart (Amazon, 2026)
How do you become a Christian? Can you know if you really are one?

Hope Reborn: How to Become a Christian and Live for Jesus Co-authored with Tope Koleoso (Christian Focus, 2014)

Qualifications

I qualified with an MB BS from the University of London (equivalent to an MD in the United States), hold postgraduate qualifications in psychiatry (MRCPsych) and pharmaceutical medicine (MFFM, DipPharmMed), and took theological training courses run by Newfrontiers.
