What is your suggestion about the content of this book? http://www.logos.com/search?q=theological+journal+library+vol+13
Tes, this journal set is beloved by many, and as you know, is a continuation of other like volumes prior to vol. 13. Do you have any of those. I don't yet own them, but many of the journals I know from seminary days, and would find them useful. They are generally seen as more conservative, and i also believe, Reformed, in their make-up.
As Dan suggests, if they are within your capacity - they are often a good investment.
I have often found that while even the technical commentaries many times ignore or gloss over very difficult questions the journals many times contain at least one or more highly focused article on a given issue/verse that I'm studying.
that is a great point, Thomas. I remember my LCS (seminary days) unearthing fantastic articles in journals again and again, which gave greater depth and material for my papers. I wish I owned many more than i currently do in Logos (only have Semeia, Evangelical Review of Theology, an apologetics one, and some magazines). I look forward to Themelios, and many more, as I can acquire them.
Do you have any of those .
.
No.
In my opinion, the Theological Journal Library is the second best value and most important purchase after getting a quality base package (Scholars or higher).

I have vol. 1-12 and I love them especially, as mentioned, for the focused articles. While the journals are mostly conservative, I would disagree that there is any particular Reformed emphasis. Bibliotheca Sacra, Central Baptist, Chafer, Conservative Theological Journal (Tyndale), Emmaus, Grace Journal, Journal of Dispensational Theology, Journal of Ministry and Theology are dispensational. Ashland is Wesleyan. Westminster and Reformed Baptist are reformed. JETS is a pretty diverse group of contributors. Trinity has contributors from both reformed and dispensational authors. Journal of Biblical Manhood and Womanhood has a fairly narrow subject focus, but the principals behind it (Piper, Grudem) are solidly reformed. Others I haven't really read enough of them to say for sure. John Armstrong is behind Reformation and Revival and his concerns are more ecumenical than towing a particular doctrinal line. Others, like the Tyndale Bulletin are difficult to classify.
I think one of the benefits of the collection is its diversity. You can find journals from those whose views line up with your own and also gain insight from other points of view. And some are just relics of an age that has just about passed away; and even these I find interesting to read at times.
Looks likes a really good deal!!! [:D]
If I could only have one thing in Logos 4, I would pick the theological journals vol 1-13
Well said
I have vol. 1-12 and I love them especially,
Hi Gregory, I want to buy this as well,I have tried to search by typing simply Theological journal library vol 1-12, but I am not able to find it, would you please help me?
Previous discussion of and comment on the journal collection can be found here.
Hi Jonathan Greetings from Germany to Australia.Thank you I have seen it,
Tes,
Just wanted to put in my agreement that the Theological Journals are a most excellent resource. In my opinion they are my most valued Logos resource second on to the Bible itself. I have volumes 1 to 12 as well as the Bib Sac 1 to 90 and there is no other single resource that can match what you can get from these.
To be able to get in depth articles from some of the brightest theological minds on topics that in some cases are not found any where else is worth the price of admission to me.
Grace and Peace
Well said Jacob. This should go on the http://www.logos.com/journals page.
It is precisely the high intensity focus on individual topics that makes the journals so valuable.
I just picked up TLJ 11 and am hoping for 12 and 13 to follow in January. (New book budget. [:)] )
I think one of the benefits of the collection is its diversity.
thanks for your expanding my understanding, and really, some of those are fairly obviously not Reformed . . . but it took you for me to see that obviousness. [:)] However, I don't think Ashland is Wesleyan, that would be Asbury Theological.
Either way, I still like the set.

Thank you Kevin,

Hi Tes.
I got my volumes over a period of years. My wife gave me Logos Scholars Edition about 10 years ago. The Theological Journal was, the first add-on product I bought and I have acquired each new volume as it came out. Right now you would have to buy the bundle of the 1st 10 volumes and then volume 11 and volume 12 to get these.
Greg.
However, I don't think Ashland is Wesleyan, that would be Asbury Theological.
I wasn't very familiar with Ashland, so I looked them up on list of seminaries provided by World Lingo and they had them classified as Wesleyan Heritage. But I went back and looked at the 1st issue of their journal and see they are associated with the Brethern church. So I would image that they would be more properly classified as dispensational.
Thanks for the info.

thanks for throwin' me a bone, lol. But I was more than helped by your original response. What I am not telling you, however, is how often I confuse Ashland and Asbury.
Hi dearest Dan. Am so glad to hear from you that you own Vol.1-12. You are lucky enough! Just let me ask you what would if someone like me has not your vols at his/her disposal. but now is deciding to buy the new release i.e Theological Journal Library vol.13. Is it harm! Pls. let me know for am in need of your advise. God bless you.
Hi sorry I would rather say Gregory, but everyone is legible to foreward his ideas about my inquiry
Debessay, There is no harm in purchasing TJL13 and not having any of the former journals. Like all other Logos resources they will integrate fully into your library.
Later if you desire and are able, you can add any of the other journal collections as well. :-)
Hello dearest Thomas Black, Thanks for your prompt reply. I tought the other previous vols. might be the pre-requisites. But now I come to know it is not so via your response.
Since each theological journal library has different resources (some have many volumes from a single journal), you may want to look at the contents of each of the 13 journal library volumes and pick the one to start with that best matches your desires and then expand from there. Each one runs about $50 apiece.
Where you been, Kevin???? I remember seeing your mug frequently around the launch of L4. You actually have a life outside the forum, I presume! Great to hear from ya.
Thanx Dearest Jacob!
