SUGGESTION: Baker Exegetical Commentary on the NT (BECNT) Update

I think this has already been suggested. It certainly appeals to me. However they can be released in Logos format I'll likely buy them all, but if we could save through a bundle I'd be sure to take them all.

I agree.

Note: Philippians is one of the "original 8"

I think this has already been suggested...

I searched and couldn't find it! [:$]

... and Jonathan the Philippians commentary already has a 2nd edition/update. I don't believe the publisher has made this available to Logos.

Paul, I've got "the 8" and this is my info for Philippians:

Silva, M. (2005). Philippians (2nd ed.). Baker exegetical commentary on the New Testament. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic.

Sorry, didn't mean that as a rebuke, just that it is a very popular series and there is anticipation about new volumes being released. I said 'think' because I can't remember for sure if it has been suggested. (It never hurts to make a suggestion more than once anyway.)

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/186750#Comment_186750

good catch man! It didn't even enter my brain that enough time had passed for one. Then again as I now see the update came in 2005 (13 years after the original). Thanks!

[EDIT] ...and Mark, no prob. I always send an identical e-mail to suggest@logos.com when I post suggestions (Maybe we can 'seal the deal' with Ephesians in there). I also wanted to use the "blushy face" for an extra kick of forum drama... [:P]

Mark - I recall much discussion over a Pillar set - probably because there were several new ones out in prepub. This and the BECNT are the sets I am most interested in.

Paul - In fact, Baker's website includes the description as well:

Luke, volume 1 (1:1-9:50) by Darrell L. Bock
Luke, volume 2 (9:51-24:53) by Darrell L. Bock
John by Andreas J. Kostenberger
Romans by Thomas R. Schreiner
1 Corinthians by David E. Garland
Philippians, 2nd ed., by Moises Silva
1 Peter by Karen H. Jobes
Revelation by Grant R. Osborne

And yet would certainly LOVE the others bundled!

Agreed on both of these.

Me too! I own 13 of the PNTC I think we still need 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians & Revelation to complete the series. It's my favorite set and the other is BECNT. I really enjoy them and would love to see them as a complete bundle in Logos format also.

I suggest Logos release an Update bundle of the new and updated commentaries not already available in Logos (listed below)

This is Baker's product and they have their own schedule for releasing their volume 2 collection.

I say "volume 2" because the original 8 vols for Logos were titled: Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament on CD-ROM, vol. 1.

It might not hurt for interested parties to contact Baker directly and ask them about this.

I received the following prompt email response to my contact with Baker over the BECNT:

"Dear
Mark,

Greetings from Baker Publishing
Group!

Thank you for your message regarding
our BECNT commentary series in Logos format. We’re confident that all of the
BECNT volumes will eventually be available in this format, but we don’t have any
more detailed information on when the next collection will be made available.

Thank you for your interest in this
series. We also hope that the next set of volumes will be available in Logos
format soon.

Best
wishes,"

So 'soon' is the best they can say. Again, some additional contact, perhaps spaced over a few days, might make them think a little 'sooner' is better. Can't hurt. See the link above.

Makes sense.

I suggest we heed Mark's advice and communicate with Baker. They need to realize that this product would please a lot of people (and also be in their best interest.)

I believe I'm not the only one in this catch 22. I have no way to access the BECNT currently in paper form unless I buy the volumes I don't have. However I won't buy them since I'm pretty sure Baker will get them in Logos. Therefore currently, I'm not using them (the ones I don't own) based on this hope. This should be all the motivation Baker needs to get them into Logos asap before Pillar and the NIGTC fills its spot on the horizon line of hot commentaries... [;)]

(The premise is ultimately based off of the fact that many Logos users might be operating this way.)

P.S. in no way did I mean for that to sound like an ultimatum... Just excited for good commentaries to come down through the pipe.

Mark Johnson

Yes, an update bundle with the 7 volumes of the BECNT is needed!

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/260438#Comment_260438

10 days have gone by and no action on this? (just kidding). I guess I will have to wait like everybody else. I hope that we see something by Christmas!

PS - THIS Christmas would be nice. [:D]

Allen Browne

Agreed, Paul. This would be great. [Y]

Let's hope that both Baker and Logos see the benefit of doing this.

Way to go Baker!

Way to go Logos!

The 7 vol upgrade is here...

and it comes out to around ~$28.50 a book. I can stomach that.

umm!

Anyone else wondering why the date keeps getting pushed back? Are people dropping like flies?

I lent out my McCartney on James thinking I would have it in Logos by the 23rd. Any word on the delay?

Everyday I check it is the next day.

There are many things in the pipeline right now. Bob & Dan have been tweeting cryptic things. The good news is that the date keeps getting pushed back by only a day… which means they thought at the time it would be ready the next day. If there were a big reason for the delay, they would have pushed it back a week or more. Yesterday they thought it would be released today, and my guess is that it will.
