[[@Headword:Rome]] (This is PB tagging for Rome as a Milestone marker for this Headword) City in Italy founded, according to tradition, in 753 BC on seven hills about 15 miles (24.1 kilometers) from the mouth of the Tiber River. It was of no biblical interest until NT times. There are nine explicit references to the city in the NT (Acts 2:10; 18:2; 19:21; 23:11; 28:14, 16; Rom 1:7, 15: 2 Tm 1:17), but Paul’s sojourn there and his letter to the Roman Christians, written probably from Corinth around AD 57 and 58, make the imperial city of considerable interest to Bible readers.1 (footnote, hold mouse over the 1 to see footnote)

 Headword will appear in the PB in the reference box when I am in this paragraph.

 Also in the reference box if I start typing Rome L4 will recognize my headword and show it in the list.

 Also if Rome is in the ref box when I click on Parallel resources icon L4 uses it to show me other dictionaries which have Rome in them

Messiah, Savior, and founder of the Christian church.

In providing a biography of Jesus Christ it must be borne in mind that each of the Gospels has its own distinctive purpose. Matthew, for instance, presents Jesus as the messianic King, whereas the emphasis in Mark is more on Jesus as the servant of all. Luke tends to present Jesus in a softer light, showing particularly his amazing compassion to the less fortunate, whereas John plunges the reader into a deeper and more spiritual understanding of Jesus. These different aims caused the four Evangelists to select and arrange the events of Jesus’ life differently, resulting in a fourfold portrait of the same man. It was undoubtedly for this reason that the Christian church preserved four Gospels instead of only one.

The following sections present the main events in what may be regarded as the chief stages of the life of Jesus. These stages show a definite progression from Christ’s incarnation to his cross. The amount of space devoted to each stage in each of the Gospels is dictated by theological rather than biographical interest. The whole presentation of Christ’s life centers on the cross and the subsequent triumphant resurrection and is more an account of God’s message to humanity than a plain historic account of the life of Jesus.

•The Period of the Galilean Ministry

•On the Way to Jerusalem

•The Final Days in Jerusalem

•The Betrayal and Arrest

•The Trial

•The Crucifixion

•The Burial, Resurrection, and Ascension The Incarnation The major event of this initial stage was the Incarnation. Only Matthew and Luke give accounts of Jesus’ birth. John goes back and reflects on what preceded the birth.

It may seem strange that John began his Gospel with a reference to the Word (Jn 1:1), but it is in this way that he delivers to the reader an exalted view of Jesus. John saw Jesus as existing even before the creation of the world (v 2). In fact, he saw him as having a part in the act of creation (v 3). Therefore, when Jesus was born, it was both an act of humiliation and an act of illumination. The light shone, but the world preferred to remain in darkness (vv 4–5, 10). Therefore, anyone coming to John’s records of the life of Jesus would know at once, before even being introduced to the man named Jesus, that here was the record of no ordinary man. The account of his life and teachings that followed could not be properly understood except against this background of his preexistence.

The Birth of Jesus John simply wrote that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Matthew and Luke fill in some of the details of how this happened. There is little in common between the two accounts. Each approaches the subject from a different point of view, but the supernatural is evident in both. The coming of Jesus is announced beforehand, through dreams to Joseph in Matthew’s account (Mt 1:20–21) and through an angel to Mary in Luke’s account (Lk 1:26–33). Matthew leaves his readers in no doubt that the one to be born had a mission to accomplish—to save people from their sins (Mt 1:21). Luke sets his story of Jesus’ coming in an atmosphere of great rejoicing. This is seen in the inclusion of some exquisite songs, which have formed part of the church’s worship ever since (Lk 1:46–55, 68–79). The homage of the wise men in Matthew 2:1–12 is significant because it sets the scene for a universalistic emphasis that links the beginning of the Gospel to its ending (cf. Mt 28:19–20). A similar emphasis is introduced in the angel’s announcement to the shepherds in Luke 2:14 and in Simeon’s song (Lk 2:32), where he predicts that Jesus would be a light for Gentiles as well as a glory for Israel. The flight into Egypt for safety (Mt 2:13–15) shows the contribution of a gentile nation in providing protection for a Jewish child.

One feature of the birth stories in Matthew and Luke is that they are both linked to genealogies. It is difficult to harmonize these genealogies since they appear to be drawn from different sources, but the purpose in both cases is to show that Jesus was descended from Abraham and David. The latter fact gave rise to Jesus’ title Son of David.

Luke was the only Gospel writer who attempted to link the coming of Jesus with events in secular history. Although problems arise over the dating of the census of Quirinius (Lk 2:1–2), the firm setting of the contemporary scene is highly significant because the Christian faith is a historic faith centered on a historic person.2

(This is another Headword set as Heading 2 which will be indented under My Headings) Jerusalem [[@Headword:Jerusalem]] (This is PB tagging for Jerusalem as a Milestone marker Headword)

In the 14th century BC the name appears in the Abdi-Hepa correspondence from Tell el-Amarna, written Urusalim. Later it is found in the inscription of the Assyrian monarch Sennacherib, written Ursalimmu. The two transparently Semitic elements, uru (city) and salim (a divine name), have produced the hyphenated composite meaning “the city of [the god] Salim.” Hyphenating geographic names to incorporate divine elements was a common practice in the ancient Near Eastern world, and the deity Salim, or Shalem (Akkadian, Shulmanu; cf. Solomon), was a member of the Amorite pantheon (cf. Ez 16:3). Since the oldest textual evidence—Egyptian, West Semitic, and Akkadian—supports only urusalim, and since the OT itself attests that Jerusalem was not originally a Hebrew city, it is probable that the Semitic etymological origin of this name produced the meaning “the city of [the god] Salim.”3

Verse Tagging You may have commentaries or such which just use the verse number like v. 4 and L4 will not recognize them

 Way to make partial verse links work: [[v. 4 >> Luke 1:4]].

 You can also use this for full verse links [[Jn 1:1 >> Jn 1:1]] or [[John 1:2]].

 Logos4 most of the time will recognize Bible links when you use the full reference, for instance Gen 1:1.

Other Data Tagging Data Linking in L4 will link data types which are found in other resources (see Datatype links in the wiki). Also in the wiki see Data Types for a list of data types, the center column is what I used as text in the tagging below.

(Examples below, in the PB hover your mouse over Beginning below to see the pop-up for the link)

 Link to a DBL entry. [[Beginning |DBLHebrew:8040]] (if you have formatting around the tag it will not work.)

 Link to Louw Nida. [[Beginning |louw:68.1]]

 Link to Theological Workbook of the Old Testament. [[Beginning |TheologicalWordbookOT:2097e]]

3 Elwell, W. A., & Comfort, P. W. (2001). Tyndale Bible dictionary. Tyndale reference library (689). Wheaton, Ill.: Tyndale House Publishers. Resource Links It is recommended on the PB wiki that you use WIKI from Copy Location (Ctrl-Alt-C) and paste your link in your docx.

 [[Tyndale >> logosres:tynbibdct;hw=Rome,_City_of ]] (Resource Link using URL from dictionary) (if your text immediately following the link has no formatting then a space between them works, but formatting text after the link causes spaces to be ignored) (temporary work-around to fix spacing bug above between link and parenthesis, select space char before the open parenthesis and press Ctrl D. Then select Advanced tab and change spacing to Expanded and change point size by 2pts)

 [[ESV Jn 3:16 >> logosres:esv;ref=BibleESV.Jn3.16 ]] (Resource link to ESV John 3.16)

 [[Date and Authorship >> logosres:nbc;art=deuteronomy3c]] does not work in RC3 but takes you to the Title page, but if you capitalize after art= then it will work. [[Date and Authorship >> logosres:nbc;art=DEUTERONOMY3C]]

Field Tagging We can tag various fields in our PBs so that Logos4 knows how to handle them. Several fields are automatically tagged by L4 without having to add this tagging. There is a wiki page which shows many of these fields (see this wiki page). When these fields are recognized by Logos4 they show up in the book’s info window under SEARCH FIELDS.

A few field tagging examples

 {{field-on:Heading}}Checking the Heading field here {{field-off:Heading}} This works when searching Entire Library using Basic Search and selecting Heading. But right now fields are not showing when you select a specific PB book.

 {{field-on:COPYRIGHT}} Copyright Logos Bible Software {{field-off:COPYRIGHT}} I don’t seem to be able to get this one working

 {{field-on:bible}}Here are Words Of Christ.. {{field-on:WOC}}Jesus says{{field-off:WOC}} here.{{field- off:bible}}. This worked.

 When I used the field surface it seems that Logos4 recognizes it, but it also seemed to cause Logos4 to do much more in depth Indexing. This field seems unnecessary in that it uses all text in the docx file as surface.

 See [[THIS POST >> http://community.logos.com/forums/p/36257/272388.aspx#272388 ]] on the forum for comments on the Bible field. Hyperlinks to the internet Sometimes the hyperlinks that you add to your words in Word will work, but if a hash mark (#) is in the URL Logos4 will not compile it properly. But if you use the PB tagging this is working:

 ‘[[Adding a Resource >> http://wiki.logos.com/Prioritizing#Adding_resources_to_the_Prioritize_panel ]]’ (link with hash mark) This links to an article way down on the Prioritization wiki page . If in Word the URL shows up as a link you will need to right click on it and select Remove Hyperlink to make the tag recognized by L4. (see [[THIS POST >> http://community.logos.com/forums/p/36331/272503.aspx#272503 ]])

 How to Prioritize resources (Link in which Word has embedded a hyperlink which contains no hash mark. This works).

 I noticed that Logos4 compiler chokes when you format the label portion of the hyperlink as shown below [[Adding a Resource >> http://wiki.logos.com/Prioritizing#Adding_resources_to_the_Prioritize_panel ]]

Internal Links in this document These are not working yet (see this [[FORUM POST >> http://community.logos.com/forums/t/36348.aspx]])

 Link to Jesus internal hyperlink to a heading above

 Link to Jesus using Bookmark internal hyperlink to a bookmark above

 As suggested by Dominic on the forum [[Jesus >> Headword:Jesus Christ]] this works.
