I'd bet (not much), you're looking at Verbum packages this fall. Prepub-ers next spring. When people sign up, it's only to add another line in their libraries ... no Logos customer actually 'needs' books, and thus no rush.

that is disappointing then. I will not support any new additions in the future and cancel the ones I have in place.

It's getting close. The resource itself is finished but because it's a Bible we have to do additional development work that needs to line up with application shipping cycles.
Everything is looking like it'll be on target for shipping to customers in mid-March.

You appear to be reacting to the speculation of a fellow Logos/Verbum user. This resource requires a great deal of tagging and linking. It is not reasonable to expect it to be produced quickly; if it were we would be complaining about quality. Faithlife has a history of releasing resources at a fairly steady pace - and informing us of difficulties causing a delay when we ask.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Guilty as charged. I should have not reacted so quickly. Thanks for the info on the status.

They have to re-build some of the shelves in the library (since it's a not-a-Bible, but needs to go on the same shelf with the Bibles). I can hear hammering and sawing, whenever I look in my Logos library. Now, whenever the janitor starts up, that's the key. The librarian already has the card catalog ready.

I think Kyle G. Anderson is trying to say - without revealing disclosures about the next version of Logos / Verbum - that there are additional features being rolled on then and not only does this book have to be coded to work with all the current features of Logos/Verbum, but it additionally has to work in the next version. A Logos Bible isn't just a FaithLife novel where only simple hyperlinks exist to source material quoted in a book, Logos / Verbum is very tightly integrated with the other books so that searches for original Greek and Hebrew can be done, I'm sure that if you just wanted a text file of this bible, they could provide it now, but I don't want a text file, I want this to be as excellent as the rest of the resources I have. Perhaps Mr. Kyle G. Anderson could give us a simple explanation of the complicated work that needs to be finished for this work. I understand that when the Boss says "Don't release the book until it works completely with the next version of software, you have to do what he says.

Actually, study Bibles are notes. And Kyle is super-busy. No rush for me ... need those new shelves to be perfect.

Is a reverse interlinear suppose to be a part of the this new edition?

Well, reading the product page, and then notes, apparently there's a Bible and notes. No mention of interlinear, though that would be nice. Is NABRE interlinear ... Jerusalem, even better. And apparently the 3rd edition of the Bible might be superior ... I want the 2nd edition notes.

I can't speak for the product team on when they'll ship it but I can say it won't be available until after March 17. It's shipping with a new Bible data type and won't have application support on Desktop and mobile until after March 17, which is when Logos 8.12 ships.

Thank you. I also now understand the date, meaning it couldn’t be released till then. I do thank you for clarifying things.

I know the required release has only just been released but now that it is here since the work was done in January is there any one from the team who can give insight on when we might be seeing the NJB released?

Soon! I've got two screens up right now and it's literally on my left monitor. I'm cleaning up a couple of things and then will be confirming full application support across platforms.

Is it possible to miraculously accelerate the process of publication of NJB? Seriously, during the Quarantine, it would be an excellent gift for us form Faithlife. What is more, it would be an outstanding asset for the preparation of sermons for Easter. Anyway, we're waiting...
God bless you!0 -
Sorry for the lack of response. I had to take some extra time to finalize some things involving the new Bible Data Type and making sure everything was supported on mobile and web clients.
It's been passed along to the products team and they'll be posting a ship date soon.

Great news! Dreams really do come true!
5 years of waitng... [;)]
I think that it will be a fantastic tool for our Bible Study.
Hopefully, "soon" means a course of one/two weeks... Who knows, maybe even sooner? [;)] [;)] [;)]Thanks Kyle! [Y]

I just received an email saying it is about to ship and showing some details of my payment card, asking if everything was the same, if so no action need be taken.
It's on its way.
Jesus died on the cross today, but I know the triumph coming in two days.
Happy Easter.

Thank you to whoever worked late to get NJB out tonight!!
And well worth the wait:
Genesis 1 (NJB: Notes): Light was one of God’s creations; darkness, being negative, was not.
Also, the notes track YEDP ... also good.
