How to set up a Lectionary in Logos Bible Software

The way to set up your own custom lectionary is to prepare a Personal Book from a MS Word docx file. 

Each entry must be tagged  using Logos' tag language. I was putting together a lectionary for the Jewish parasha reading system.   This is the system used by Jesus and with it scholars have been able to determine the time of year when Jesus read the Torah in the synagogue "The Spirit is upon me..." 

This is an example of the code for the first entry:

[[@YearMonthDay:Oct 18, 2014]]

1.         Bereisheet “In the beginning”

{{field-on:day}}18 October 2014{{field-off:day}}

27 Tishrei 5775

Parashah 1

{{field-on:season}}Bereisheet{{field-off:season}}

בְּרֵאשִׁית

You can download a version of the file from here.

When you compile the Personal Book in Logos, make sure you designate the resource type as Lectionary rather than keep the default type: Monograph.

Once you have created the Lectionary you will need to add your Lectionary to your home page sidebar if you want to see it there.
