Announcement: Galaxie's Theological Journal Library Subscription Access

Faithlife has partnered with Galaxie to bring our users a new journal subscription option! The subscription provides access to all Galaxie journal issues we offer on our platform. Subscriptions are available per month ($5) or per year ($50). If you prefer to purchase a license to Galaxie journals outside the subscription model, you can of course still do that here.

Ditto!

That is very nice, considering it used to cost about $50 every year for the annual update. For those who don't have the cash to buy all the back issues, this is especially compelling. It is a good collection of journals (and all we had in Logos for a long time).

This is a good offer- the $5 option will allow individuals to get the journals and see if they are a resource they use- looks like you can easily switch to the yearly rate.

I'm already heavily invested in Galaxie journals so I won't be taking advantage of this but I will strongly recommend it to many. It's a great solution for those who haven't already spent all the money to invest in the back catalog. I used to spend $50 each year to just get the new year's annual update.

Will Galaxie be bringing more journals to Logos regularly like we used to get?

This is terrific news! I got some Galaxie journals long ago but have been unable to keep up. A subscription should suit my needs quite well--I don't need journals all the time but sometimes "binge" on them for projects. Question: Can the monthly subscription be taken only as needed? As in, could I subscribe for 3 months this year, let it lapse when it's not needed, then do the same again after another 12 months or so? Are there any conditions complicating that sort of usage?

I agree this is great news but I'm curious if Logos will also continue to sell Galaxie Journals. Do you know if this is true? I own the Galaxie Journal library so at the moment I own everything this has to offer but when I look at the Galaxie database they have many journals in there that Logos doesn't yet. Is the plan forward to have two models, one ownership and one subscription?

So, I'm an owner and user of all journals currently published by FL . . . so, should I opt for a "subscription" for coming journals, or will FL continue to offer the journal packages of the past . . . bottom line, love and use journals and want be sure to have any/all new ones. Thanks for any insights!

Mattillo, our plan is to continue producing journals and to offer the ownership model.

While I'm happy for those who will benefit from a subscription plan, but this move will reduce demand for producing journals.

I had not thought of that but I'm not sure that is the case. If the subscription model takes off Faithlife should produce more journals to support it which should also benefit those who wish to purchase them.

Thank you Thom! Galaxie has a bunch of other journals lying around for you guys to scoop up when you have the chance! [:D]

At least that is what I can tell from their website.

Richard Wardman

This is excellent! I've never had many journals in my Logos library, so this is very attractive.

I'm a little out on the best journals. Can anybody suggest some journals to stay alert about?
My primary interest is about textual criticism and pastoral theology.

If you click the link in Thom's original post you get to https://www.logos.com/product/184429/galaxies-theological-journal-library-subscription

This shows which journals are included in the subscription.

Would you like a sample of any of them in particular?

To a certain extent, this depends on your theological outlook (or at least the theological perspectives that you are interested in learning about).

Well, I'm in a continuist-reformed baptist specter,, but I'm interested in other theological views

Nord Zootman

That is what I am paying for a subscription to the journals at Galaxie. I would switch to having them in Logos but they have more on their site than in the Logos collection.

Actually having this material anyplace else than in Logos would make it totally worthless to me. Some small portion of it even may be available as PDFs somewhere - but that's not the same.

Regarding "more" - from scrolling down it seems to me that Galaxie has exactly the same journals. It seems the online subscription via the website is more recent in some cases, but is this relevant? I looked up JETS: both include up until #60 (Dec 2017) while for the Priscilla Papers, Galaxie has #31 (2017) while Logos currently stops at #30 (2016). Actually I'd like to see immediate release in Logos as soon as a journal appears, like with Themelios, but this is probably not feasible for all of those. I fully expect FL and Galaxie to include newer releases at some point, but I understand it will take longer to produce a Logos edition.

I agree with you on the immediate release. I didn't look up all of them but the few I did look up did have the latest volume missing. Bsac 174 (2017), BBR 25 (2015), and Detroit Baptist 22 (2017). I don't have time to go through the entire catalog but I would definitely appreciate an update to get it all caught up. We are still waiting for the 4.1 bundles though so I don't see this happening anytime soon.

Is the subscription searchable in our Logos program?

If I do a "Search Everything" or "Search Collection Journal" for such and such topic, will it work?

Sure. It's part of the library just like any other journals (it comes with a temporary license which will expire once the subscription runs out, that's it).

The Galaxie Theological Journal Library Subscription has been updated with the new journals from TJL 22. They should download to your device soon, if they haven’t already.

This is a great resource at a reasonable price. I never thought I would get journals but with the subscription it seemed silly not to try it and they are very useful. Thanks!
