Faithlife Corporation publishes and creates electronic tools and resources for Bible study. It is most well known as the creator of Logos Bible Software, but also publishes tools and resources under a number of other brands, and partners with more than 200 publishers to offer over 40,000 Christian ebooks available to users of its software.
Founded in 1992 as Logos Research Systems, Inc., when two Microsoft employees, Bob Pritchett and Kiernon Reiniger, along with Bob’s father, Dale Pritchett quit their jobs to develop Christian software. Their first product was called Logos Bible Software for Microsoft Windows. For nearly 20 years this was the company's only major product, but more recently they have diversified into a number of other products and services. In October 2014, to reflect this change, the company was rebranded as Faithlife Corporation.
Logos Bible Software is a digital library application designed for electronic Bible study, and is available for Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android. In addition to basic eBook functionality, it includes extensive resource linking, note-taking, and linguistic analysis for study of the Bible both in translation and in its original languages. It is currently in its sixth version, which was released on October 27, 2014. Faithlife also publishes a modified version of Logos Bible Software under the Verbum brand, with content and features aimed at Roman Catholics (for example, adding expanded databases of Catholic Topics and the Catholic Saints, as well as more data from the Deuterocanonical Books). Similarly, a version branded Noet provides for scholarly work in the humanities, and focusses on the classics and philosophy.
Proclaim is cloud-based church presentation software which allows users to collaborate to create visual presentations for church worship services. The presentations are normally projected via a video projector, but members of the congregation can also receive 'signals' from Proclaim on their mobile devices.
