Questions about EEC

Does anyone know when the rest will be released? Or at least the ones that will be released next? I don't really trust the dates on the product page. Like Hebrews from Fanning would be awesome, but I just doubt that is going to be the case.

Also, I saw the page count is an estimated 782 for Jude. What about Ephesians?

Trust it or not, it is the best information you are likely to get.

Well, They've done a few posts previously giving some updates and I was hoping that maybe someone could give something of a update. I think the 1 & 2 Samuel was supposed to follow Jude and Ephesians pretty quickly, which is was what the product page shows. But, in there list, Hebrews by Fanning wasn't even mentioned which leads me to think that it isn't even close to being finished (one I was hoping would be coming soon).

Odd that anyone would give a thumbs up to the answer, even if correct. But, I get there has been some complaints about this. I'm not trying to complain, just wondering if someone at faithlife could give an update, even if it isn't much of one.

I'd love to hear an update, too, if possible. I noted in another thread that quite a few volumes are "scheduled" to be released in the next 6 months or so according to the website. I'd love to have an idea of how accurate/realistic those estimates are at this point.

My final installment on my pre-pub order for EEC has been paid.

I have received 10 volumes. That makes my current cost $75/vol.

The good news is that another 18 volumes are scheduled to be released over the next 12 months.

I can't remember how the original schedule looked, but I knew that a series like this always has many delays. Here we are years later with many TBAs.

It was interesting to think about Logos asking users to pre-pay to finance this series well in advance and now Logos has reduced its payment plan options because of the cash flow problems it creates. Hmmmmm.

Sorry to hijack this thread and say something "treasonous", but I have a question related to EEC...

Is there any chance that EEC will be released to other Bible software platforms besides Logos/Faithlife platforms (such as Accordance, WORDsearch, etc.)?

Before people want to begin to tar and feather me, here's why I'm asking...

Most Faithlife/Logos/Lexham products I'd rather own "in Logos format". It makes sense to keep many of these products as "Logos exclusive" as it is a means to keep people investing in the Faithlife/Logos ecosystem (which I have invested HEAVILY in, over 8,000 books).

However...

When it comes to EEC, EEC is such an EXCELLENT commentary series, and it is a seriously needed series of commentaries in the academic field. Students, professors, etc., can seriously benefit from EEC, and the more volumes of EEC that can get in the hands of more people, the more that can benefit from this series. The academic world is in serious need of a current, scholarly, affordable (versus some of the other commentary series out there) series of technical commentaries for academic use. EEC is a solid answer to it from the volumes I've evaluated.

As long as the other vendors would cooperate, allowing EEC onto other Bible software platforms such as Accordance or WORDsearch would help get EEC into as many hands as possible, continue funding to help get future EEC volumes into production, and further help EEC cement itself as a new gold standard in academic level commentaries for evangelicals.

Thanks!

Would that not put FL in the position of competing against themselves?

No there is good president. Lifeway publishes holman broaden products but they do not restrict sales to only Wordsearch their own in house software. If Lexham allowed others to sell it, they would be receiving royalties and seeing a potential larger distribution. Now the question comes would WS or ACC or even OT be interested in it? Lexham has produced some high quality resources but not too sure there is a demand for them outside Logos circles. But broader distribution so multiple sources is a way to get more acceptance.
