I'm probably the only Logosian that (a) gets a copy of Bible Study (I almost abbreviated, but thought better) for some unknown reason, and (b) only reads the advertisements (not critic'ing the articles).
But the advertisements are quite interesting.
- Fathers of the Church (the 127 vol big-boy). And who is sponsoring the space?? Why, Faithlife itself (I guess). FTC is a toughy ... market size, and price. FL has guts.
- Logos 8. It says it's more affordable. Really? No offense intended, but I suppose that's great news. The packages had bigger discounts? The features were cheaper? The engine was free-er than free?
- Gift Guide Well, it is the Christmas issue. Pretty neat. I don't think Logos.com has a gift guide. My favorite was the clothbound Bible - American Literary Version, with walnut case (no wheels, for easy Bible class use). Now I have to check Logos.com for the ALV!
- ChristianBook.com Yes, you read that correctly. FL is cross-selling CB. It's a prop-up for your Bible. But seems best for your iPad, preaching. Sans the ALV of course.
- Free Book! Apparently only for women in the ministry. But looks like a good one too.
Finally, an advert for what proposes to be a powerful weapon. Against looking at clothes-less people, probably doing bad things. What's so amazing is the stats: 68% of church-going men; 50% of pastors. Regularly view. How is that possible? Every other pastor? Ok, Ok, just reading the advert.
And BTW, clearly Mr Strauss needs a more complete Logos library. He left out the most nailed-down evidence for Herod's find-the-babies episode.
Anyway, get out your copy!!
