Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture books

I was just wondering if Logos planned on converting all 29 books in the series? I have loved using the books in my school's library and would love to buy them through Logos for the search capabilities. Just wondering if I should start saving my money up! Huh?

Just wondering if I should start saving my money up!

I do not know if and when this will be available in LOGOS. On the otherhand, do not let this stop you from saving money up - there will be something you want and unless you have saved money up, you will not be able to get it.

Well I definately always saving up to get certain books and news ones i know i will see and want BUT with special books and series i save purely for them.

I saw on the IVP website that it says "Use the fast and easy-to-use Libronix Digital Library System" and "Integrated with the Essential IVP Reference Collection and other Libronix titles". Does that mean that if you buy the entire set through IVP that the CD's are able to be searched and used through the L3 or L4 versions for searching and use? I really confused now. lol

I have the first Logos set of this series. They are published by IVP not Logos but they are completely compatible with Logos 3 & Logos 4.

The complete 29 volumes will be released in Libronix format around September of this year (2010.)

Thank you so much. Is there any reason to wait till September when it goes on the Logos site if I can get it through IVP? Are there any benefits to waiting (cause if there are I can surely wait)?

Cool! Only I wonder when Logos's publishing partners will catch up with them and start releasing things in native L4 format. I suppose it'll have to be like this for some time into the future as long as there's a legacy L3 to keep supporting.

The CD won't be available from anybody until September (if it stays on schedule.) I would like to see it on the Pre-Pub page with a price....[:)]

The product itself will be exactly the same. Notice IVP proudly touts the tech support will be through Logos.

I hope we see the other IVP sets come to Logos also.

Matthew,

This is great news! Any way you can tell us how you know this? I've been interested in this series being completed on Logos for a while, along with the other similar series they are offering now and will offer in the future.

For those who don't know about those, here's a list of them:

Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

Reformation Commentary on Scripture

Ancient Christian Doctrine

Ancient Christian Texts

I read the introduction of the first volume in the Ancient Christian Doctrine series, and the editor mentioned the future digitalization of the series, along with the other sets too, so maybe this is finally happening!

Nobody has told me this but I've been wondering for a while if all Logos 4.0 is produced in-house. The Zondervan titles are published by Zondervan but only available by download. Will there ever be any Version 3 CDs produced and packaged for retail sale? I just don't know. I am still caught between ordering everything in Version 3 format (on CD-Rom) or order evrything by download. I want to have Version 3 formatted resources on hard copy backup for the day when Logos servers no longer carry them. I doubt I live to see that day but I wouldn't be much of a pack-rat if I didn't save them anyway. I've still got the original WinAmp. DR DOS, GEM desktop, Wordstar, Chi-Writer, Desq-View.................. I'm spiraling downward.

Justin Gill

Well then i am super excited and will be saving up for the later part of the year! I am glad to see how Logos is getting their name around and more and more people i talk to on the college level are taking advantage of their awesome product! Thanks Matthew!

On the publisher's website, under "Future Books".

Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

This is phenomenal news! I didn't realize the full series was even available in print format yet. The last time I came across any volumes of it in a Christian bookstore there were only one or two, and I was waiting and looking forward to when they'd do the whole thing. Then I haven't been checking back. It happened a lot more quickly than I'd expected.

The General Introduction to the series is also available online in PDF format: http://www.ivpress.com/title/exc/1470-I.pdf

No, I can't without violating my conscience. [6] Easy to find if you go looking for it. [:$]

I highly recommend buying Libronix resources from Logos.com whenever possible. [A]

[I] Now if only we can get a Pre-Pub up on Ancient Christian Commentary TODAY! I'd like to place my upgrade order.

Same here. Just last Summer they had long term projections for releasing the print volumes. Now, all of a sudden, eveything is available and the CD version is in process! WoW. If only everything worked so quickly. It is so good to be alive in this time of history!

Reading through all these posts almost makes me want to believe that no one knew that the print editions were available by subscription? I've the entire ACC set for approximately $34-36 per volume over the years. If Logos does make them available, then I'll sell you my print editions to afford their DVD! [:P] heheh..... I'm now working on completing their nifty commentary set on the Nicene Creed. The recent one on the Holy Spirit dropped in just recently.

God bless

Found it, thanks to Todd up above!

Now, this is interesting. According to the IVP website, the price for all 29 volumes in Logos format will run about $308. On the Logos website here, just 12 volumes are going for $379.95!

I assume the price will be adjusted accordingly when the complete set is released.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention though! I love this series and the idea behind it, so this is very exciting news!

I also prefer to buy from logos since it makes future upgrades easier (works get counted in discounts for upgrades). I also like the download feature as it makes installing on a new easier. If this was available on Logos at anything close to the listed pre-pub price I would order today as well.

Check out Catena Aurea: Commentary on the Four Gospels by Thomas Aquinas (8 Vols.) http://www.logos.com/communitypricing/details/5216 It is well worth the price!

Agreed, but it seems that this has been at %60 for a while. I'd like to get books while I'm still young enough to read them [^]
