Accordance Bible Software will let you use their Accordance Amplify to Website feature to open other websites while using Accordance to research Bible studies. With these features, people with books in Logos Bible Software who have access to their Web App will let you access your library inside Accordance. First, we’ll show you how to set this up and then how to use it.

Use ‘Accordance Amplify to Website’ to Open Logos Guides

Accordance includes two awesome features that make it possible to open a Logos Passage Guide from inside Accordance. The Accordance Amplify to Website feature will help you. Here’s how to add Logos to the menu in Accordance.

To add Logos, you’ll have to add a few things to Accordance. I found out about this in the Accordance forums, which are a great option for learning how to use Accordance features and asking for help in using the software.

Select your text and right-click and choose Website and the Logos Passage Guide after adding the feature using directions written below.

Open Accordance Preferences from the Accordance menu item in the upper left or by using the keystroke CMD+,. Next, click on the External Websites item on the left side of the Preferences window. Thanks to Accordance user Paul Meiklejohn for these steps.

Click on External Websites in Accordance Preferences to add new options to the Amplify to Website feature.
Then choose the New button to add a new link.

Click on New at the bottom of that box. A new box pops up where you can add your website links so you can use the Accordance Amplify to Website feature to open the Logos Web App.

The new link box pops up when you click on New in the External Websites part of Accordance Preferences.

Now use the links you’ll find from the Accordance Forums. Here are a few that I added for Logos.

  • Passage Guide: https://app.logos.com/guides/passage?layout=reading&reference=***
  • Word Study Guide: https://app.logos.com/guides/word?layout=reading&reference=***
  • Exegetical Guide: https://app.logos.com/guides/exegetical?layout=reading&reference=***
  • Search Logos: https://app.logos.com/search?layout=reading&q=***&resources=yourBible&tile=right

The above came from Accordance user jarcher who posted them in the forums.

Some other links you’ll find there include:

  • Blue Letter Bible: https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/preSearch.cfm?criteria=*** (from user dandennison)
  • Bible Gateway: https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=***&qs_version=NET.(from user Drewster; change the last three letters to your chosen translation, like NIV or CSB)

Use Accordance Web Browser to Open Logos Webapp

Now that we’ve added the sites to Logos and other sites, how do we use these? Open a Bible in Accordance and select the verse along the left. Then right-click the verse, and a large pop-up menu appears. Next, click on the Website in that menu. Choose your new item added in the step above.

To use your new Accordance Amplify to Website feature follow the example above.

For example, in the animate GIF above, I selected Hebrews 2:1 and then opened a Passage Guide in the Logos Web App.

Have you created any Accordance Amplify to Website links that aren’t listed above? Then, comment below with your chosen link and let us know how to use it in Accordance.

I’m Dr. Kevin Purcell, a minister, ministry leader, writer, and technology enthusiast with more than 35 years of experience in Christian ministry. I currently serve as Director of Missions for the Brushy Mountain Baptist Association, where I work alongside churches throughout Wilkes County, North Carolina, to strengthen local congregations, encourage pastors, and advance the Great Commission.

Over the years, I’ve served as a youth pastor and senior pastor, and much of my ministry has focused on helping churches communicate the Gospel more effectively. I hold a Doctor of Ministry in Preaching from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, a Master of Divinity from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a Bachelor of Arts in Religion and Philosophy from Georgetown College.

For more than two decades, I’ve also written about technology, Bible software, preaching, and church ministry. My work has appeared in publications and websites including ChurchTechToday, GottaBeMobile, Preaching Magazine, and iPhone Life. I also create videos and tutorials about Logos Bible Software and other tools that can help pastors and Christians study Scripture more effectively.

KevinPurcell.org brings many of my interests together. Here I write about preaching, Bible study, ministry, artificial intelligence, photography, and technology, with a particular emphasis on helping pastors and churches use technology as a tool rather than allowing it to become a distraction.

At the heart of everything I do is a simple goal: to help build the church of Jesus Christ, make disciples, encourage those who serve in ministry, and help Christians use the tools available to them in service of the Gospel.
