[quote user="Alexander Fogassy"]I'm looking for classical, normative, traditional dispensationalism. Not the progressive or moderate type, and certainly not ultra-dispensationalism. [/quote] This is helpful info. Based on that I'd say Chaffer and Ryrie are probably the most prominent exemplars for you. Something to consider: People keep recommending

I grabbed Longnecker's new Romans volume. $70 on it's own $40 in the marked down NIGNTC sale $20 after the coupon Not bad!

I'm preaching on Lev 16 this week, which contains a construction I've not seen before, and the commentaries I own don't address it. In Lev 16:21 three words are used to describe the sin being transferred to the scapegoat. The first two nouns are marked with the direct object marker but the last has a lammed preposition. Most English translations don

[quote user="P A"]Hi Are there any resources in Logos that compare different views of Israel and the Church. Thank you P A [/quote] The suggestions thus far have all revolved around books about this particular issue. That's helpful, but an incomplete sample of resources Logos offers to address this question. I'd also suggest: Substantial commentaries

I search for this occasionally. I always do: type:commentary AND subject:[book]

Rich, I'd really recommend Powlison's lectures (above) to you. They correspond to your experience and perspective really well.

If you're interested in listening to some lectures, David Powlison's addresses give a really helpful biblical expositon: Power Encounters - Reclaiming Spiritual Warfare - Part 1 Power Encounters - Reclaiming Spiritual Warfare - Part 2 His main idea is that modern readers have their ideas of the demonic informed more by the occult (primarily from medieval

Liam, As a pastor this is one of my most-used resources. If you preach, it's enormously helpful for sermon application . For counseling, it goes far deeper than most other counseling resources like the June Hunt collection (which helpfully covers lots of topics, but doesn't do a whole lot of biblical reflection). Sidebar: If you're considering this

[quote user="David Paul"]The "Woman Caught in Adultery" pericope is prophetically required to be in the Bible. How it got there is immaterial.[/quote] This answer is so completely not what the OP asked that I laughed out loud. He didn't ask how it was included. He didn't ask why you think it's canonical. He didn't ask what your criteria for text criticism

By far the biggest difference is the SSD. Logos isn't a computation-heavy program. It's a data-retrieval program. For an example: I upgraded my old PC with an old AMD Athlon Duo (circa 2010) with a SSD and it radically sped up Logos. Last year I replaced that aging system including an Intel Core i7-6700 - a hugely powerful processor - and saw no discernible

Far and away my most used resource is the Journal of Biblical Counseling . (And I'm excited about the forthcoming update !) I use it in both my pastoral counseling and my sermon prep (see the link on sermon application in my signature below). The June Hunt counseling library is great because it covers lots of topics but it's rather superficial. The

It looks like the NIVAC NT set is $200 off right now. Not sure how long the sale runs. I have a few volumes and have found them somewhat useful for my sermon prep needs. Won't be buying this myself but thought others might like to know about the sale.

You say you're interested "to complete the Wiersbe" series. That implies you own some volumes. How helpful have you found them? I have personally found the Wiersbe volumes I own faithful but so basic they don't fill any need I have.

I'm in the planning stages of an OT survey and would like to highlight the theme of God's global mission in the OT. What resources would you recommend and why ? Thanks in advance!

[quote user="MJ. Smith"] And in Google you are limited to plain text searches - no morphology, no grammar, no semantic role, no syntax, no assignment of antecedent to pronouns ... IIRC you can't even specify within a range of words or characters. [/quote] Agreed. For technical searches Logos is vastly superior. But if I'm trying to find a verse that

Joshua, What features do you actually need? If the features you want don't require a dataset (e.g. Multiview), just wait for the core engine upgrade. If the features you want do require a dataset (e.g. Systematic Theologies section of passage guide) you're going to have to spend money. I'd recommend buying over renting. I have more than $10k invested
