The Text of the New Testament: Its Transmission, Corruption, and Restoration

Are we ever going to get this book in Logos format? The request by many has been languishing in the suggestions forum for months now without even the courtesy of some kind of reply from Logos.

Maybe it's time for Faith Life to stop making it's priority of providing more and more fancy features for fewer and fewer and go back to providing some of the more important works for those of us who have serious study as a priority.

FL has every incentive to continue to push through resources, since those sales provide the bulk of their revenue... Many users complain about resources being put out too frequently!

What book? Link?

Link? (I do hate not getting at least a "we put it on our list" response!)

I have (accurately, I think) described FL as a "corporation with ADHD" in the past. This is one more confirmatory symptom.

OTOH, Bama's right...FL isn't withholding resources that it could publish, so there might be other conflicts. I don't know about this publisher, etc.

What I do know is how ironic it is that a 'bible software' company can't seem to get the English Bible Collection into production. And there ain't no publisher conflicts with that. They are all PD resources and already in the system.

ADHD seems to be the primary problem there.

Doesn't surprise me. Logos doesn't do text-critical. Tov? Aland? And on and on. It's curious. But 50 Shades of Grey is on the table.

Today I was serching for a book I already read. Went thru my recent purchases and was reminded to read 'Jerusalem' next (late 1800s CP). That's when I noticed the collection wasn't set up for mobile. Ooookaaay. Maybe 50 Shades?

Wild speculation without basis, but it may have something to do with Erhman being one of the authors as of the 4th edition. Faithlife doesn't sell any of Erhman's works currently, which has been discussed on other threads. I would be very interested in adding this to my Logos library, or even the 3rd edition where Metzger was the sole author.

None from Erhman, but one from Ehrman

That's disgusting Denise why would you even mention a book like that here?

The newest edition (4th) is a decade old. Perhaps it would be better to wait for a 5th edition?

Because Bob did. Look for the quickly growing thread in the general forum. [;)]

They say "Dead men tell no tales." They also don't update books.

This book is old enough that my natural hunger for it is not there. If we wait long enough, it'll be on CP. [:)]

Elie Wiesel wrote, "Poets exist so that the dead may vote." Maybe that's why scholars write books, too.

I've all but given up hope on the English Bible collection.....
