I am in a very similar situation. I am a lay person who doesn’t intend to learn Greek or Hebrew. I have had BDAG/HALOT on my wish list for over a year waiting to get them on sale. I pulled the trigger on them a few days ago. My initial impression is that I think BDAG will be a good resource for me, but I don’t think I will get as much use

Thanks - finally able to pick up BDAG on sale.

Here are some of my thoughts: 1) As a lay person, I am not in a direct position to have much influence whether my local church subscribes to your proposed "church business" software offerings. I don't see myself as a target customer (although if my church adopted this, as a Logos user, I'm sure I would be happy to jump on board with the integrated services

There are a lot of names and degrees of gear acquisition syndrome. Unchecked and to the extreme these can become idols of the heart or addictions. A few practical things that you might try: 1) avoid frequent checks of the forums if you find yourself here looking for sales and rationale to buy more stuff 2) set a budget and stick to it 3) use a spouse

[quote user="David Taylor Jr"] I don't use them but I am curious, why are you wishing to go with an academic bundle if you don't read the original languages? [/quote] Fair question. I’m sure there are many resources in the bundle that I wouldn’t use. That being said, I see benefit in usuing original languages for deeper insight into the

I am considering the L8 Academic Professional library. One of the resources in it is the UBS Handbooks. Do any of you use the USB Handbooks frequently? Any reviews or samples would be appreciated. For reference, I am a layperson and can not read Greek or Hebrew.

Agreed - my bracket is completely busted in the first round. I’m out. The high prices bundles with the typical confusion/errors around dynamic pricing, I bet a lot of people will be sitting this one out. It is ok though, I’m still thankful for the great commentary deal last year.
-
Hopefully dynamic pricing will apply. If it does, I could imagine some nice deals.

I was really pleased with what I got. I got Standard Silver and Anglican Silver (coming from L7 Silver). Just in commentaries that were new to me I got: Cornerstone Biblical Commentaries, Bible Speaks Today OT & NT, Holman NT Commentary, NT for Everyone, Biblical Illustrator NT, and IVP NT Commentary Set. In total got 282 new resources at less than

[quote user="Karen J Collins"] Hi, Bryce: Thank you for that request -- I'm happy to show you the corresponding sections in each of those resources so you can compare them. I chose the first chapter of TITUS (in the DIY book, it's just Unit 11, the first 9 verses, but the entire chapter in the Layman's book). [quote user="Bryce Hufford"] Could someone

Could someone who has the collection pick a small New Testament passage and post content from: 1) Laymen’s Bible Study Notebook, 2) survey of NT, and 3) the book specific content. I’m still not clear on the differences between these resources and how much overlap there is from one to another.

I am also a big Evernote user, so I'm really interested in any workflows people have developed to make their Logos notes work with Evernote. I do know that Logos has been planning to change the way notes work within the program. While I would love for all of my Logos notes to be available in Evernote, i have not figured out a good way to do this. In

https://www.logos.com/product/121460/the-macarthur-new-testament-commentary-series I’ve been waiting to complete my set for quite awhile.

This is a fantastic sale, especially for people that decided not to go for complete sets during March Madness. I wish there was an option to pick up some of the MacArthur NT commentaries on discount though.

I just got an email this morning saying that I could “Test Drive” Platinum for 14 days. if You didn’t get the same message, you could call Faithlife on Monday and ask about It.

Time is running out on the MM sale. Did anyone on the fence on this set make the purchase? If so any thoughts?

I am pasting this quote from the second module in the NT course: “3. Translation: Translate the Greek text and compare other translations. In this course I’m assuming that my audience knows elementary Greek, such as forms and basic vocabulary, but not intermediate Greek grammar and syntax. But even if you don’t know Greek at all, you

I currently own WBC in Logos. With the MM sale, I have the opportunity to pick up newer versions of the following 6 volumes for $60: Psalms 1-50, Isaiah (2 volumes), 2 Corinthians, and Joshua (2 volumes). I will likely pass on this, but wanted to see if anyone has examined the differences and has an opinion.

For example, when I generate a passage guide for a verse in John, I get a listing of several commentaries from my library. One result is “The Gospel According to John” but I would rather see “NICNT - The Gospel According to John”. Another result in my list is ”John” but I would rather see ”Zondervan Exegetical
