Does Logos offer a Bible with the true names restored?  I have searched products page and have not found any.

    Okie dokie ... I'll bite.  'True names'?  True names of books of Bible? Names of people? I'm guessing you might be referring to which language the names are  transliterated into? Is so, indeed Logos does have such, the question then becoming, which target language? (e.g. hebrew, aramaic, greek, latin, etc). And of course, which transliteration method.

    I suspect that what you are seeking is a bible which uses transliterated divine names.  Why do you consider that to be of importance?  Do you suppose that they are some kind of magical incantation that you can pronounce thereby effecting something?  I think for other uses a translation of the names is quite sufficient.  Of course, there is the matter of YHWH and Elohim as distinguishing various strands in the Pentateuch, but that is best done in the original language.

    If what Denise and George are asking is what you meant, I have a friend who has a physical copy of "The Complete Jewish Bible" and it does what you are asking. http://www.logos.com/product/6645/complete-jewish-bible

    From Logos description:

    The Complete Jewish Bible:

    • Follows the Hebrew Bible order of the Tanakh's books
    • Makes no separation between "Old" and "New" Testaments
    • Offers the original Hebrew names for people, places, and concepts, using easy-to-read English transliterations
    • Focuses on Messianic prophecy
    • Gives the traditional weekly and holiday synagogue readings, plus relevant readings from the "B'rit Hadashah" (New Testament)
    • Reconnects Christians with their Jewish roots and the Jewish people
    • Connects Jews with the Jewishness of Messiah Yeshua and Messianic faith

    The only thing that I don't like about it is that it is a tough read for me.

    Before you say it George, I know that I could just read the original languages but if I struggle with the KJV I imagine that I would have troubles!  [:D]
