Logos in college or seminary libraries?

Does Logos allow their software to be installed in academic libraries as a database accessible by their academic community?

The reason I ask is because I want to use a specific database in Logos (Luthers works) which I would rarely use otherwise, except for this one particular item of research that I'm pursuing.

TIA.

Unfortunately not. Licencing is per-user, not per-machine, and the are no site licencing options available.

Thanks. I suspected that, but wasn't sure.

So does anyone have "Luther's Works" (55 vols), and want to do a couple searches for me?... :-D

Do you have Luther's Works in Logos? And are you willing to do a couple searches? If so, I could correspond with you offline. Thanks.

Jeff you may as well post the requests here, they may be of value to others interested in the set.

I /think/ I have that set as well. Either of us would be willing to do the search. Just post back what you're looking for.

If you search "Lazarus," do you see anywhere that Luther considers Lazarus to be the Beloved Disciple in John? Mark Allan Powell in his NT Intro textbook says Luther originated this view, but I've never found where in Luther's voluminous writings this is found... of course the Eng translation in Logos is only about half of the German (WA) edition of Luthers writings...

Wow check this out: http://benwitherington.blogspot.com/2007/01/was-lazarus-beloved-disciple.html?m=1

while I don't agree with everything this clearly sheds some light on some of the doubts I had concerning the beloved disciple (e.g. Access to the high priest house, etc.). I will study this some more. Interesting indeed!

Yes, Lazarus is a really good fit for the Beloved Disciple for many, many reasons. Floyd Filson thought this. BW3 (as you found). But what I'm trying to find is if Martin Luther thought this. Mark Allan Powell mentions this, but I've never seen a citation in Luther's works for this.

Turns out I don't have all the volumes - mark or someone else will have to do the search for you, sorry!

I searched the English translation of Luthers Works for you and can find no reference to Lazarus as the author of John or the beloved disciple. Nor, in the rest of my library, can I find any suggestion that this idea came from Luther.

Moreover, there is at least one occasion where Luther explicit identified the disciple whom Jesus loved as John:

Be on your guard. Look in front of you. Christ will not allow Peter to look around at the disciple whom He nevertheless loves. Do you think it was in vain that “the disciple whom Christ loved” more than all the other disciples was cited? It also did not happen in vain that he was not mentioned by name. He could have said: “Peter turned and saw John,” rather than “the one Jesus loved,” etc. But He wanted to oppose this vice and banish from their sight the works of the saints, so that pure obedience would remain, and no one would brag or use the excuse that he had followed the example of the saints.

"Gospel for St John's Day" in Volume 75. It's very clear from other references in this sermon that Luther identifies the one whom Jesus loves with St. John.
