The new Logos 2026 Libraries (affiliate link) are available now, and you can benefit by getting one starting today. You’ll save 20% if you upgrade your library with one of these great libraries between now and February 15, 2026.
Before this, Logos updated its libraries every two years, but now that changes. Starting in 2026, they plan to refresh their Libraries every year.
Logos promises four changes in the new Logos 2026 Libraries as follows:
Commentaries that engage the questions you’re asking
Theology reflecting today's conversations

Contemporary pastoral voices bridging scholarship and ministry
2026 Leader Gold Library
I appreciate that Logos gifted me the 2026 Leader Gold Library for doing a quick review of the collection. Of course, my opinions are my own, and I was not told I had to give it a positive review, so this is as fair as I can make it.
The 2026 Leader Gold Library includes a lot. You’ll get several Bible translations, although it doesn’t include most of the more popular versions. Most Logos users already own those.
The included commentaries boast some great titles, such as the Christ-Centered Commentary, which comprises 20 volumes from the New Testament. I’ve used many of these before. They read like sermons the author repurposed for a commentary. That’s not a bad thing because users can easily work with the books and apply them to their preaching. I like that the Christ-Centered Commentary Series is written by preachers who also boast some scholarly understanding of the text. They come with good information and application for modern audiences and readers alike. You’ll get a useful outline of each pericope, along with illustrations to convey the message. Take a look at the introduction to Acts 6:8-8:3 by Tony Merida…
A popular jingle rang in the heads of young basketball fans around the country in the 1990s as kids sought to imitate NBA superstar Michael Jordan: “Like Mike! If I could be like Mike!” Gatorade even resurrected the tune to celebrate its own fiftieth anniversary, reminding me that I was among those kids who sought Mike-likeness. I had the shoes and wore the sweatband on my left forearm. I had a room decorated with Jordan posters. And there I practiced flying through the air with my tongue hanging out as I dunked my Nerf basketball.
Whom did you want to be when you were a kid? Many young children grow up wanting to be like their moms and dads. One of my pastor-friends recently observed his little daughter baptizing Cinderella in the bathtub, clearly imitating the actions of her Baptist father!
Regardless of who your model was as a child, every adult Christian should seek to imitate the same model: Jesus. The goal of the Christian is to be like the Savior. Paul wrote about this pursuit in Philippians 3:10–14. Growing more and more like Jesus was his life’s aim.
Merida, Tony. 2017. Exalting Jesus in Acts. Nashville, TN: Holman Reference.
At the end of each passage, the author includes some questions to consider in a section called “Reflect and Discuss.” Use these in a group study or as some churches do for small groups that cover the passage the pastor preached the previous Sunday.
Take a look at some of the other great series included…
ESV Expository Commentary
Opening Up Commentary Series
The College Press NIV Commentary
Tyndale Commentary
Some of the great values in the Gold Library include tools for Pastors, Bible students, and other ministry-related books. I’m looking forward to diving into the following titles only available at the Gold level.

The New Logos Study Assistant Tool
I have to mention some of the cool new features Logos recently released related to Artificial Intelligence. You may hear that phrase and squirm. “You don’t let Logos write your sermons, do you?” Of course not! But I do let it help me research using the new Study Assistant.
Go to Tools and scroll down to Reference to find the new Study Assistant. Or you can type it into the search box in the Tools pop-up to find it.
Hit the New button, then ask a question in the box at the bottom of the window. You can use natural language, as if you were asking your friend who is helping you study the Bible.
I recently attended a Bible study, and I wanted to find passages about Moses and his frustration with the people of Israel. I asked the Study Assistant, “Where did Moses express frustration over the people’s infidelity?” It gave me a few helpful passages and a brief synopsis of these passages. I could then rate the response (Thumbs Up or Down) or Copy the answer to paste elsewhere. I just tapped on the links and opened passages from Exodus.
Other Recently Added Features in Logos
In addition to the Study Assistant, there’s the new Smart Search in your Bible translations and books. Simply ask a question and it finds passages based on the natural language search.
In addition to the Study Assistant, we get the improvements to the new tab box. When a user clicks the large Plus icon in the center of a section of the Logos window, a new tab opens in that section. For example, I have my LSB on the left, and you see the plus icon on the right. Click it to open a new box.
You will see a list of recently viewed tools or books, along with the option to search for items to open. When you search, the list updates to show titles that contain that search string.
To search books with Smart Search, open a Search Box and click on the Search tab. Select Smart instead of Precise from the drop-down box in the upper-left corner. If you only see Open Books, then it will only search the books you have open. Click on it to change the search to something else.
