Thanks for telling! (actually I have a paper copy and didn't wait so I have a kindle book as well - but I find that only things inside my Logos library are really "there" for me, so I bought it once more)
Have joy in the Lord!

I've had this book in my Logos Library since January of 2019...is there something newer in this version?

I have the 2011 edition from IVP. I can't tell when I acquired it, but it was last updated in my library on Aug 23, 2023.
The edition available for sale now shows a publication date of 2023, also from IVP. It looks like this is the fiftieth anniversary edition, with a new foreword by Kevin Vanhoozer, but it is probably otherwise unchanged, unless they found any typos in it and fixed them. You can read the first page of the new foreword in the "See Inside" feature. Probably not worth buying the new one just for the rest of the new foreword.

I was just going to say the same thing until I read your post.
I also agree that this version is probably not worth it for those of us that have the previous one.
Using adventure and community to challenge young people to continually say "yes" to God

I have two versions...the 20th anniversary edition and the 2011 edition.
I am very cautious now when I see a book I do not own...because I probably already own it.
Not sure why I would need a third copy. But I am glad for others who have been waiting.

I can't tell if there is any difference except for the Introduction by Kevin Vanhoozer.
For some reason Logos stopped offering Know God some time ago. For those who missed it it is back.

Rosie, that is the same as I find in my technical information in regards to this book. Thank you for the verification.

I too already own the Hardback edition and don't really see any need to have it in my Logos library as long as I can search it in Logos 10. The only thing I will miss will be the ability to copy and paste from it.

It looks like the previous Faithlife ebook edition will become the new Logos edition, as the pre-pub page says I already own the resource.

It doesn't for me - but maybe they are doing this manually and haven't come to me yet. Still glad to own https://www.logos.com/product/252395/knowing-god
Have joy in the Lord!

That begs the question what is going to happen with the study guide that we currently own as part of the ebook. It doesn't seem to be included in the Logos edition.

Actually it sems to be included, when you look into the ToC in the look-into of the Logos version:
(the detailed sections seem to be in line with the content of the eBook version)

I suspect that's still the ToC of the ebook edition. Unless we can expect to get "Also available from InterVarsity Press" and "More Titles from InterVarsity Press" in Logos format too.
