World English Bible?

Hi.. Could the WEB be added as an included bible in Logos?

Or is there a way I can import it my self.. It is a free public domain bible.. I have it on my eSword and really enjoy using it and would love to be able to use it in Logos..

Sorry if this is not the right place to post this as I am brand new here..

Thanks!

Logos goes about getting books in a different way... The do it via a system called prePUB or for none copyrighted works like the WEB is Community Pricing. These systems ensure there is enough interest to ensure the cost of placing them in Logos format is covered. You are not charged till the item is shipped at anytime you can cancel your order. This is one I really would like to see too...

The book description says: "special Messianic edition that retains Hebrew names and places."

Does anyone know whether it also uses the word ADAM consistently instead of translations?

Dan Thank you. Very cool.. I just placed my bid.. Really hope this one gets into Logos.

Veil I am not totally sure what you asking but tell me a bit more and I can search my WEB on eSword.. The WEB is on most of the free Bible apps and programs out there..

You can copy and paste it into a DOC file and then import it into Logos as a personal book since it is public domain. If you wanted it to sync you would have to and some Computer language statements before and after the text. Once you do one verse you can copy and paste it into the next verse. I did a few chapters of John. It me about an hour. I guess it would take about 500 hours for me to do the whole bible. That would be for the text only.

Instead of doing the necessary tagging manually, you can use this converter with modules that are available freely for some other bible software packages, to convert them into a DOCX that already includes the tagging:

I keep checking back on this very issue with Logos. Added my bid, but still waiting.

People need to bid higher than $16 to get this over the line.

Ok....

I was in since 5/2017 at the $16 mark. I put a straight edge on the graph and if it continues to follow its current trend it looks like it would take a bid of between $26-$28. So I upped my bid to $28.

Any other takers?

Hi Dan,

Now that the resource is out of pre-pub and into production, do you have any experience with how long before it becomes part of our library?

I am looking forward to having this.

Thanks,
Stephen

I guess I have to agree. Given how long this resource took to clear pre-pub, what’s another year or two?

Hi MJ,

Hopefully, we won’t have to wait much longer.

It is supposed to ship today.

Cheers,

Hi Stephen:

It now shows tomorrow. I remember earlier this year it was that day's tomorrow, but it never came (cf. 2Pe 3:8).

[Edit] I just remembered the immortal words of Curt Gowdy, when a baseball game had entered into a number of extra innings: "The Tonight Show will not be seen tonight, the Tomorrow show will be seen later tonight, and The Today Show will be seen tomorrow."

I think I got a bit too excited and my brain clock fast forwarded a day ... I’ll have to wait a little longer now.

Either way, it will be in time for Reformation Sunday! :-)

I've been looking forward to the WEB translation in Logos for quite a while!
