Do they charge the total price when you purchase, or do they charge you little by little as volumes come out?

You paid for the entire series upfront. If I remember correctly it could be set up on a payment plan. I don't remember the total cost, but it went up significantly after the first volume was released.

So is the price that they are listed at the price for the whole set? If so, how does Logos justify charging the full price for the set without any idea when the series will be completed? That seems to be unprecedented.

This was talked about numerous times before the first volume shipped. Those of us who purchased it has not been disappointed with the series so far. At least by the forum posts there have been hardly any complaints. If you want the series then pay up. If you want the series but can't justify spending the money now then spend it when the series is complete. You can always purchase a single volume and see if you like the series.

I think the last volumes are scheduled to be published no later than the second decade of the Millennium.

I think it will be some time before then so that we can study Daniel [August 30, 2018] and Revelation [March 1, 2017] before the start of that time period.

I don't remember the total cost

Here was my cost, but I do not remember the number of payments in that plan. Paid it off early in any case.

Believe the cash price was $ 699.99. Have been more than pleased with every volume currently in publication. The series is prioritized #1 above NICOT/NT and Pillar.

I certainly agree that no one is being forced to buy it, and waiting until the whole set comes out is certainly an option, but it still doesn't follow with the way Logos normally does things. I haven't kept up with this set and I guess I was just surprised when I realized that people are paying way in advance for books that have no release date in sight.

Certainly it is different but I look at it this way. We helped invest in making this series a reality by providing up-front costs. Otherwise I don't think it would ever come to be.

And that definitely seems like a worthwhile cause!

I contacted Logos about this, and received some helpful information from the manager of the publishing department:

"We are still hoping that the EEC will be completed by 2020, but realistically, it could take as long as 2022. Massive and tragic unforeseen circumstances, including authors passing away and illnesses of family members, have shifted around its calendar. On a project of this magnitude, it is very difficult to guarantee the delivery dates, as for many of the authors, their work takes upwards of five years to complete.

We will be updating many of the TBA dates on the website soon, as well as pushing out the final estimated completion date to 2022. I am sorry that we are unable to hit that original projected date—so much has changed since then. It is still possible that we will finish the series by 2020, but there are several unknown factors (including finding a new author for one volume) that make us believe that 2020 is no longer a possible deadline to hit.

We will do our best, as we have been doing, to deliver volumes to you as quickly as possible. We appreciate your support of the series and realize how patient you must be to wait on it. Again, our apologies for the delays."

Thanks for the news Andre. I guess delays in this world are inevitable.

Hi friends on the forum. I can't answer the "when" of the EEC completion, but as one of the authors I can express my delight that Logos has followed though on their commitment to also publish print copies of the commentaries. The Logos blog today features a brief background story on the nature of my James commentary. What it does not mention is that the print copy (600+ pages) is now available on Amazon and some other sites.

Thanks or your continued interest in the series.

Well, we have some new dates. These are the changes since the last time I checked.

Numbers: 2015 instead of 2014
1 & 2 Chronicles: 2015 instead of 2014
Nahum, Habakkuk & Zephaniah: 2015 instead of 2014
Galatians: 2016 instead of 2014
Philippians: 2015 instead of 2014
1 & 2 Thessalonians: 2016 instead of 2014

None of the 13 books previously listed as "TBA" have anything more promising (Judges & Ruth, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Amos & Jonah & Micah, John, Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Colossians, 1 Peter, 2 Peter & Jude)

That is a bit disappointing again, since we were told to expect some update on these titles.

We will be updating many of the TBA dates on the website soon, as well as pushing out the final estimated completion date to 2022.
