A good article from Tony Reinke, as usual.
I almost re-ordered this volume no.13 by prepub (which I cancelled), but then I looked at the final prices of previous volumes, and they're also 49.95. So I think I can wait for purchasing these volumes later.
It was an informative article. However, when I run his example search: “resurrection” NEAR “new creation.” I only get 78 hits, not 84 as he indicates. I am wondering if anyone else gets the same. Maybe I need to re-index. (I do own vols. 1-12, and set no limiters)

David, I didn't read the article but I did copy your search query and got the following just searching my journal collection. . .
The author of the article doesn't say what specifically he tagged as journal (ie does he have some journals not in TJL included)l, so it's hard to say what has to be done to match his query. I have a Collection of Journals that is defined as just Type:journal, and I get 106 articles, I am sure I have journals not in TJL.
TJL 13 should be out today!

I went through all the TJL products, 1-12, and confirmed which resources it includes. You should have 699 resources if you have TJL 1-12 (not including vol 13 which comes out today). Here is the list, with the count of resources at the end of each line:
# Ashland Theological Journal (1968-2005) - 37# Bible and Spade (1972-2008) - 34# Bibliotheca Sacra (1844-2008) - 165# Central Bible Quarterly (1958-1979) - 22*# Chafer Theological Seminary Journal (1995-2006) - 12# Christian Apologetics Journal (1998-1999, 2004-2008) - 7# Conservative Theological Journal (1997-2006) - 10# Conspectus (Journal of South African Theological Seminary) (2006-2008) - 6# Detroit Baptist Seminary Journal (1996-2008) - 13# Emmaus Journal (1991-2007) - 16# Faith and Mission (1983-2005) - 23# Global Journal of Classic Theology (1998-1999) - 2# Grace Journal (1960-1973) - 14# Grace Theological Journal (1980-1991) - 12# Journal for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (1995-2008) - 13# Journal of Dispensational Theology (2006-2008) - 3# Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society (1966-2008) - 43# Journal of Christian Apologetics (1997-1998) - 2# Journal of the Grace Evangelical Society (1988-2008) - 21# Journal of Ministry and Theology (1997-2008) - 12# Master’s Seminary Journal (1990-2007) - 18# Michigan Theological Journal (1990-1994) - 5# Reformation and Revival (1992-2004) - 13# Reformed Baptist Theological Review (2004-2008) - 5# Review and Expositor (1962-2008) - 47# Southern Baptist Journal of Theology (1997-2008) - 12# Trinity Journal (1980-2007) - 28# Tyndale Bulletin (1972-2005) - 34# Westminster Theological Journal (1938-2008) - 70
699 resources total
*Volumes 1-8 are titled "Central C.B. Quarterly"
I searched using your same query and got 287 results in 91 articles in 81 resources with "Match all Word Forms" checked. With it unchecked I get 210 results in 74 articles in 70 resources. I don't know how he got his number but I am pretty sure he has a somehow slightly different collection of journals.
Thanks Dominick. I've been away at a conference, thus the late reply.
I started going through your list to see how it stacks up to mine, and yours is much more complete. It seems that with some titles, an additional, overlapping purchase is required. For example, for Bible and Spade, you show it going to 2008, but in the TJL 1-10 collection, it only goes to 2000, according to the website. An additional purchase has to be made to get to 2008, having to buy all the other volumens over again. A similiar situation exists with Bibliotheca Sacra, it seems. Perhaps TJL 1-10 was larger in the past?
I guess I should just be happy with what I got and not compare hits!

the first 90 issues of BibSac are available as a separate purchase from Galaxie. I acquired Bible & Spade 1972-2008 from another source for $90 USD.
