Buy Denominational Starter Base Packages!

While the 30% off sale is going on, you can get some incredible deals on the various denominational starter base packages! It's a really cheap way to broaden your library theologically.

However, since some of the starter base packages have a few resources in common, you'll get the biggest savings if you buy them one at a time. After you buy the first one, then reload another one to see if the price dropped. For me, several ended up cheaper this way.

Also check out the higher levels for not much more

Moved from Bronze to Silver for $40 / 59 resources [Note that I already have a large library - your experience may differ]

How long is this sale going on?

Just updated 3 base packages with 125 resources for less than $1 per title! Remember that dynamic pricing works so that you may save by stair-stepping (I purchased Baptist Bronze, then Baptist Silver and it was cheaper than just buying Baptist Silver first.)

I made sure to do this during the sale. I had Bronze for all denominational packages but thanks to the sale I updated to Silver for all denominational packages in Logos as well as the different Silver packages in Verbum. For me, most were between $20-25 for the upgrade between Bronze and Silver. I bought each separately so there wasn't an overlap in resources that I overpaid for.

I am going to make sure to upgrade from the Standard Diamond to Portfolio before the sale ends. But I'm eyeballing the Collector's Edition which is a steal at 30% off... just needing the funds to make it happen before the sale ends.

Just a reminder to not forget about Verbum's website and adding to your library (if you are interested) in their various packages. There is more than just Verbum (which can be bought on the Logos site). There is Standard Verbum (the version you can see on the Logos site), Verbum Academic, Verbum Ordinariate, Eastern Rite (a lot of overlap with the Orthodox packages, if memory serves me correctly), and a few other packages.

I went with getting Orthodox Platinum (for the Patristics). Otherwise I would have upgraded all my Starters to Bronze.

There's also Verbum Clergy Starter, too, which is great. Some might be interested in Biblicum Standard.

Best deal so far on a base package 😂

Nice. I never had deals like that. Now that I have Starter and up on everything, Bronze sets are in the $20-30 range.

So did you get it?

Haha 😂 Eastern Rite Bronze is 1 cent cheaper than Starter! The theory that buying starter first is cheaper and the build on that has been tossed out the window 😜

Whooaaaa, Natasha, thank you! I have Verbum Gold and Verbum Academic Premium (soon professional, hopefully) but because I had not scoured the Verbum site, I had no idea about these others. I just assumed.... So, thanks!

Btw, name my daughter the same name. Not a lot of you around, but it's a beautiful name.

I noticed something peculiar: for me, it's the same as you: 21 cents vs. 22 cents, for the exact same book. I have not bought it yet, would get that one book I don't own.

NOW, for me, the next level up, Silver, is $1.55. Interestingly, it says I have TWO books new to me. NEITHER of them is the book that is available in Bronze. I thought later packages were built on each other. Either this is NOT, or something went wrong in setting up the page. But Gold, at $63 is looking interesting because it includes Sacra Pagina commentaries and some Ratzinger works.

EDIT: the Gold package I am referring to is actually the Ordinate Gold. Eastern Rite Gold jumps to $205.

And BTW, both starter and bronze have the same resource. You would think Bronze would have at least one more resource, but it didn’t.

Sounds like a plan!

I had already gotten most of the Starter packages last year, but this is generally a good strategy. The Starters have a lot of basic, simple reference resources that range far beyond their packages' denominational labels.

I finally got around to getting Verbum Ordinariate Bronze at a great price. This package has a lot to offer people with a wide range of interests. Besides some of the Anglo/Catholic materials you might expect, it has several works on "Theology of the Body," many of which are priced individually for more than what the whole package cost me. I think I did get one new dataset with it.

I did something similar last year. If I hadn't gotten an upgrade for Orthodox (it was a cheaper way to finish my "Fathers of the Church" collection), I would have considered upgrading everything to Bronze. I did upgrade Anglican and Ordinariate to Silver though.
