Any word on when the EHV Bible will be available on Logos?

According to the Wartburg Project's January 2018 Report, the full version has been completed and is being proofread.  Unfortunately, it might not be available until 2019.  A subset, the EHV New Testament and Psalms, has been for sale since mid-2017.  Could it be made available on Logos while the full version is being proofread?

Here are a few links...

    I would love to have the EHV in my library! How can we help make that happen?

    Another version? hard to get people to read one. I have 3 in Logos presently, and can honestly say 2/3's have never been cracked. I barely use the ESV, which is probably the latest new translation I have.

    Just saying not sure it is really needed especially at the prices they charge, I might if it was $10 or less.

    Since our Bible studies generally don't specify a version, I am always glad to add a translation so that I can be prepared for anything a participant might throw at me. This is especially true of versions of interest to Lutherans, Anglicans, Catholics and Orthodox.

    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."

    I hope it comes to LOGOS.  Bibleworks has informed me that they are already working on it.  Hopefully they will release it as a free update.

    I know a lot of the men working on this translation.  All of them are confessional Lutherans, which will make this translation somewhat unique.  So far I like what I am seeing, but - then again - I am somewhat biased, since a lot of the guys were either my professors, people I went to school with or fellow brothers in the ministry.

    Good news!  As of June 30, 2019, the EHV Bible is available to preorder via Pre-Pub for $14.99.  Currently, its status is "Fully funded - in production".

    Yes, being ready for whatever our students being.  When reviewing how a Bible study works with different versions can be interesting as some studies are looking for a particular word rather than a generalized thought.  [[Especially ones that expect the KJV to be used but have seen the same type of study expecting other versions.]]
