Sure wish we could convince the good folks at Logos to pick up the works of John Phillips....his commentaries and such. Any other Phillips' fans out there?
Yeah....I would order his stuff
WORDsearch just had a special offer of John Phillips' Commentaries for around $300+-. So now I have them in that format at least.
Yes woud love to see this happen. My suggestion: make it happen.
I'd buy them.
I'm adding my desire to see the Phillips commentaries as well.
Anyone at Logos have any plans?
Let me add my name to the pre-pub list too.
I would love to see it in Logos format too
Yes please! I have his works in WordSEARCH but would pay good money to have them in Logos 4!
I'm surprised this hasn't been chosen to be done already yet! (if they hadn't tried already) But I'm still impressed with the speed and vision Logos has for getting many resources out. Sure was a way to make money from current users as well, keep making more books for them to purchase. It's great for the user, instead of having to buy other bible programs, you just get new books for the same program.
I have never owned his commentaries but he was a magnificent preacher..
Dr John Phillips died July 25th, 2010.
[Y] I would welcome a Logos edition of his writings.

We must be thinking of different Phillipses since John B Phillips died in July of 1982. His NT The New Testament in Modern English would be good alongside The Message. Also his Your God is too Small would be of interest.
Yes, it confused me too when this thread first appeared.
The John Phillips referred to in this thread is the Baptist one: http://www.drjohnphillips.com/index.html, rather than the Anglican one you speak of.
Hmm. I never heard of him. Of course, I never heard of William Finnegan Smith either. Who is he? I don't know whether there is such a person since I just made it up.

I wrote to Logos about the John Phillips works and this was the response I got back from my contact last year.
"Hi Ted,
It’s a bit of a long story, but we are not able to license this at the moment. We have been working on it, and we’re optimistic we can get this very soon.
Hope this helps."
I recall recieving an email from WS sometime ago marketing the Phillips commentaries as being exclusive to them. That may be part of the problem.

Yes, it's currently exclusive to WORDsearch for desktop Bible software (OliveTree has it for handheld)
Dr. John Phillips (the one spoken of in the general thread ... the Baptist, not the Anglican) preached for me and some preachers in my circles. Amazing man. Dr. Phillips, when he was alive, was slow to understand the electronic resource benefits and was concerned that it would become easier for people to corrupt his work. I know the pastor that convinced him to share his resources with WordSearch and would be happy to talk to someone at Logos about the details. I'd buy Phillips pre-pub in a heartbeat.
LOL, I just discovered John Phillips and fell in love with his work. I just posted a thread on the suggestions section without realizing there was one already. Either way, I agree with you 100% - we should have John Phillips works and the rest of John G. Butler works in Logos 4/Libronix format or at last L4 only. Anyway, I hope they can listen to us and have compassion enough to make JP's works available to us Logos users.
Blessings!
It seems that WORDsearch has a lot of the titles I want that Logos doesn't publish. John Phillips ("Exploring . . ." books), John Butler's (Bio Series), and many others. I never wanted to have my resources in multiple programs, but maybe I should check out WORDsearch.
Tommy, there are several of us who use both programs. It isn't the ideal situation, but some publishers/authors will only license to certain software companies.
Anyone heard an update from Logos on making John Phillips' books available?
Would love to have Phillips commentary set. I had been with Accordance software before joining with Logos which I am way happier with ... but the Phillips series available for Accordance.
Here link at Accordance ... If they can do surely Logos can.

I have previously put in request for John Philips : Wordsearch also have his Collected Works.

Chris,
welcome to this forum. I like it that you are more happy with Logos than this competitor. Unfortunately, not all publishers will contract their products to all bible software companies. The publishing industry fears nothing more than electronic books. Those who are very dead-tree-minded (or try to set up their own bible software) may not give the necessary licences to Logos especially because it's the strongest player in the market. Some may want to extract more royalties than Logos can pay. Some may grant one bible software company a (temporary) exclusive contract. Some may want to limit electronic distribution to one channel/platform, wheras Logos wants to give us access on any platform plus the web...
I trust Logos to try to get everything in here that we want to buy and publishers can get contracted to make it available, but Logos a) can't force them and b) wouldn't bow to all outlandish contractual requests. And in the long run, this is a good thing.
I hope they get this resource sooner or later.
Mick
N.B. One thing, while Logos doesn't mind us naming competitors here in the forum, they have asked us not to link to their sites. You may wish to edit your post accordingly (click the more-button a the to right corner over your post and choose edit).
If you can use dual monitors it works well in conjunction with Logos open- I use it with a lot of WS products as well as BibleWorks- DUAL MONITORS great way to save a lot of cash.
Now to prepare for a trashing by the Logos Patrol!
I would second that. His Romans 8:18-19 is a classic "In my opinion whatever we may have to go through now is less than nothing compared with the magnificent future God has planned for us. The whole creation is on tiptoe to see the wonderful sight of the sons of God coming into their own."
His NT translation appears to be at http://www.ccel.org/bible/phillips/JBPNT.htm
while "Your God Is Too Small" can also be found on the internet.

This series gets my vote also. Any official word from Logos as to the likelihood these will become available and if so when? I need them and must decide on the format in which to get them.
It has finally arrived:

GREAT Just ordered it!
The volume on the book of Revelation is missing from this collection. https://www.logos.com/product/47134/john-phillips-commentary-series
Wow, never thought I would see the day. Hope it doesn't stay in PrePub as long as Mattoon has.
I hope the renegociate Mattoon's commentaries to bring the price down. J. Phillips is a welcomed addition to Logos; hopefully, it won't stall like Mattoon has. Maybe if Mattoon was $200 for both OT and NT sets it would've made it out of prepub a long time ago.
