[quote user="mab"]I also think Bruce would have just smiled knowing that his work had become part of the vocabulary of his student.[/quote] Totally agree.

This is very interesting. Bruce's quote definitely has affinities with the quote you provided. It was probably the seed thought for Bruce's quote. Good catch.

I should have specified. Bruce's quote comes from an even earlier work of his, Paul: Apostle of the Heart Set Free , p. 401. This was written in 1977, which predates Rupprecht.

During seminary I have written two exegetical papers (on Ephesians and Philemon) in which I engaged heavily with O'Brien's work. With his Ephesians commentary especially I started keeping a running document of the instances in which he quoted F. F. Bruce verbatim without attribution. If you compare F. F. Bruce's NICOT volume side by side with O'Brien

Been looking forward to a sale like this on NICOT/NICNT for a while! Picked up six today!

[quote user="Joseph Turner"]On that note, how much harder is Hebrew than Greek?[/quote] To quote a guy named Paul, "Much in every way..." (Romans 3:2).

Hi Joseph, There are a couple of tips and tools that made life much easier for me when I walked this road before. 1. For vocab . The flashcard app called Genius worked wonders for me. Unlike conventional paper flashcards or digital apps that merely mimic paper flashcards cards, Genius uses a smart recall method. Its method really engrains vocab in your

I'd like to see the works of the late Robert Lindsey in Logos. Lindsey did extensive work on the Synoptic Gospels with an emphasis on their Semitic background. http://www.jerusalemperspective.com/jp-kiosk-books/

Black's volumes are a little bit older than those in IVPNTC, the volumes are written by Brits, and the authors' leanings would be more toward the critical side of scholarship. The BNTC set also does not cover the whole NT. However, there are no "stinker" volumes. Each one is solid, and some are even outstanding (Mark, Galatians, Philippians, 1 and 2

[quote user="Mattillo"]Does anyone know how the concise version of the HALOT compares to the regular version?[/quote] The HALOT bundle is consists of five volumes, while CHALOT is a one-volume lexicon. A comparison can be seen below of a commonly looked up word . The first is CHALOT's entry, and second is HALOT. The two most obvious differences between

[quote user="Everett Headley"] I think this is the exact resource you are looking for. I have found more nuggets in it than I will ever be able to use. It has given me a more full, complete perspective on the Crufixion. https://www.logos.com/product/30913/crucifixion-in-the-ancient-world-and-the-folly-of-the-message-of-the-cross [/quote] I was reading

I am thrilled to see this sale! I've been eyeing the Acts, Galatians, and Colossians/Philemon volumes for some time. Schnabel's Early Christian Mission work blew me away. After purchasing his Acts commentary and diving into it, I can say that it will be my go-to Acts commentary, superseding Bock and Polhill (and that is saying a lot). I feel like Pao

[quote user="Gary Osborne"]If anyone else has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. [/quote] Hi Gary, One that does not get the attention it deserves because the book itself on which it comments is often overlooked is Joseph Fitzmyer's commentary on Philemon. Usually, commentaries on Philemon get bundled with Colossians. It is a rare day that an entire

[quote user="Paul Caneparo"] The problem with these sales for commentary junkies is deciding when to stop spending! Does anyone want to persuade me that I'm wrong to not have any of the following from the NAC series in my Logos library, as I now have the rest: Deuteronomy Job (have in Kindle when it was $1.99 - doubt I'll preach much from Job) Proverbs

[quote user="Mattillo"]Anyone have any experience with the old revelation in this set? Any thoughts on it?[/quote] The Revelation volume by J. Massyngberde Ford is the poorest in the set IMHO. I believe this is why it was replaced by Craig Koester. Ford made a big deal in the introduction that John the Baptist wrote Revelation, and this bleeds into

The NIGTC by George Knight III my go-to. There are two critical volumes which will represent distinct voices should not be missed, though: The Eerdmans Critical Commentary (ECC) volume: https://www.logos.com/product/7451/the-first-and-second-letters-to-timothy-volume-1-and-2 . This is a massive volume that deserves a seat at the table. I was impressed

[quote user="Gao Lu"] I might add one that I have recommended from Ted Hildebrand which is free. The books are downloadable, already in .doc format and can be made into personal books. https://faculty.gordon.edu/hu/bi/ted_hildebrandt/New_Testament_Greek/MNTG_Interactive/MNTG_TableOfContents.html [/quote] This resource you provided is fantastic.

[quote user="Paul Caneparo"] Thank you Jonathan. I've now bought the Iain Provan volume. I did buy the Genesis one in Kindle format once, but returned within the week as it didn't seem very helpful on the passage I was preaching from. I do have access of the Galatians volume and so I haven't bought that one this time. Thanks for your feedback. [/quote

[quote user="Paul Caneparo"] I'm sure that most of us are on a budget. If you had to rate which volumes you've found indispensable, which would you recommend? I prioritised buying: Deuteronomy 1 & 2 Chronicles Ezekiel Minor Prophets Romans Philippians Colossians Hebrews 2 Peter [/quote] The indispensable volumes in this series to me are: Exodus by Peter
