Logos sales reps & OT commentary suggestions
I had a sales rep help me out this past spring and I would like to use him again but have lost his name and email. Can someone help me with names. I am thinking maybe Jim but that may not be close. I think I would recognize if I saw it again or maybe someone could read my mind through the internet. I'll press my forehead against the screen.
I have some funding left for this years budget and would like to upgrade my OT commentaries. The College Press series has appeal to me. Do you think it would be worth waiting for Xmas sale or is this about as low as it will go?
The NICOT is still on my wish list but combined with NT at a $1000 still seems pricey. Do you see these sets being offered separately, individually, or at a lower price?
I always appreciate your feedback!

Well, looks like no one wants to admit they can't remember either. I'll start with one it's probably not: Santiago Galeano.

No, thanks Denise.
I have dealt with Santiago before.

Save your screen and spend the replacement money on more Logos resources. Also going to church with a bandaged forehead might raise a few questions.
I bet you were served by Jim-Ray Higgins. If that is who you are trying to remember I am sorry to inform you he no longer works for Logos (as of late Spring.) There are other sales reps who also please their client list. Mine is Dave Kaplan.

Thanks Super,
I believe you are right. I have worked with Dave also. I hope Jim didn't leave because he was helping me!

NICOT/NICNT has never been broken up for individual volume sale. This has been requested many times. Logos did finally publish the discontinued NICOT/NICNT volumes (due to many requests) and you can buy them individually. There are approximately 8 of them. If you are interested in those I can try to search up the list.Gene Britton said:The NICOT is still on my wish list but combined with NT at a $1000 still seems pricey.

Here is where I would take advantage of Logos' 30 day satisfaction guarantee. Buy it now with the Black Friday sale by November 30th. If you don't like it, or Logos puts it on deeper discount at Christmas, return the expensive set or "trade" for the cheaper set. Here are two snapshots of the item description. The first is the Black Friday Sale price." The second is the REAL selling price last week. You save $129.15 (forget comparing "Suggested Retail Price" and percentages.) Your savings is real cash money. $129.15.Gene Britton said:The College Press series has appeal to me. Do you think it would be worth waiting for Xmas sale or is this about as low as it will go?
Personally, I LIKE College Press offerings. I don't believe Logos will have a cheaper price than this for a long time.

Thanks again Super, that is good advice.
I believe I will go ahead with the College Press order.

You are in a win-win-win situation on this move.
- If you don't like it, you get your money back.
- If they put it on sale cheaper at Christmas, you can secure that price.(return and re-order.)
- If they "renew" or extend the same sale price through December you will have enjoyed it 30 days longer than those who hesitated.
Those who have purchased this set for in the last 28 days should consider asking themselves if they are satisfied with a $389+ commentary set when they could have a $269 commentary set.................. [^o)] Hmmm. I probably shouldn't have posted that.

Jim Ray no longer works at Logos. Santiago Galeano became my new sales rep. He's been a real help to me. You can try him, I can assure you, you won't be disappointed.

That would be a sales price. The normal selling price of that set is closer to $1700. Pre-pub was $999.95, and t has appeared on sale at that price at lease once. I ordered 2 the pre-pub price, but would still pay the normal—but then, it is the most valuable of all Logos commentary sets—to me.

IMHO NICOT/NICNT are over-rated and WAYYYYY TOO over priced. I own F.F. Bruce volumes on Acts and Hebrews and believe you me, I've gotten better information off of other commentaries. Pillar's on Hebrews is better than Bruce and the Pillar's volume on Acts beats down the one on the NICNT series hands down! Compare Gordon Fee's volume on 1 Corinthians to the one written by Bryan Rosner and Roy E. Ciampa on the PNTC series; you'll soon realize that the one on the PNTC series is way better than the one on the NICNT. I know is just my opinion, but hey, think about it, why spend 1500 for an incomplete set that is not really that good? I think the only reason why the NICNT/OT series is famous is because of the names that have contributed to it and a publishing company that's trying to squeeze as much money as they can out of ministers who are just trying to preach the Word to save this world from eternal damnation.
That's all!

Douglas, [:-*] Your slip is showing. It is clear to the careful reader your lackluster opinion of NICOT/NICNT has more to do with doctrinal leaning than scholarship. The groundswell of public opinion resulted in Eerdmans publishing the discontinued volumes of the series. Most who are familiar with NICOT/NICNT put it on their short list of commentaries they would have in their dream library based on content, not factoring price.
F.F. Bruce & Gordon Fee are two of the authors that make NICOT/NICT a desirable set (throw in Bruce Waltke too)
If I misunderstood who you are referring to as the "publishing company that's trying to squeeze as much money as they can out of ministers," I apologize. But whichever company you are referencing is probably doing a service in most minister's eyes.
just my opinion: I believe NICOT/NICNT is worth the higher price we have to pay (got mine heavily discounted from Pre-Pub) Just because we get a Super-Duper bang-for-the-buck buying Word Biblical Commentary, does not mean the other, higher priced resources are not worth it. I can say the same about Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary. Just because the IVP Essential Collection is a better value for the price than AYBD does not mean the later is worth every penny of it's asking price. Thanks for indulging me. [C]

None of us knows for sure, but I think it unlikely that the NICOT / NT will ever sell for less than $1,000. I think that was the pre-pub price. I know I paid over $1200.

Well SuperTramp, you gave your opinion, I gave mine; that's all there was to it. Is not so much of doctrinal leanings because I've learned a few things from Bruce and Fee, but over all I just think that set is way too over priced for the content. People wanting it just shows how people can get brain-washed to think that if they don't have a certain set then their preaching is incomplete. If I owned that set (and i'll prolly get it when it goes on a real good sale - less than a $1000 bucks) I wouldn't think I'm more complete or less complete without it. My preaching should be based on the Bible (with some help from certain reference works) and not on which set of commentaries I own.
Anyway, no arguing intended here; just personal opinions that's all.

Then, why go to the trouble of insulting those who purchase the NICOT/NT unless you intended to start an argument? Having used volumes of that series, I personally consider it valuable. You obviously do not, but I will not call you"brain-washed".

I find it amusing to hear about a mostly newer commentary series being flaunted over an earlier one. Curious especially since not only the earlier one is cited by the newer and much of the information presumed by the newer one is because they stand on the shoulders of the former authors. No doubt that Pillar might not even exist were it not for all the sales the same publisher made and makes from the NICOT/NICNT series.
I'm not yet in a position to replace my print volumes for NICOT and NICNT, but I look forward to that day.

It is just fine for you to value the NICOT/NICNT set at a lower dollar amount than Jack or others. It is your judging others' reasons for buying at a higher price than you are willing to give. If the others judged you, they might come up with "Douglas loves his money more than tools for Bible study." Doesn't sound very nice and is probably not true either.Douglas Alvarenga said:If I owned that set (and i'll prolly get it when it goes on a real good sale - less than a $1000 bucks) I wouldn't think I'm more complete or less complete without it.
I would venture to say, "One does not NEED a seminary degree (or any degree at all) to share the gospel from a pulpit or on the street corner. It definitely helps, but does the Holy Spirit need anything more than for us to submit and get out of the way?
bedsides all that, if you keep it up, you will cause Jack undue stress on how brainwashed he may really be.

If the shoe fits, wear it Jack...I'm surprise you don't know that at your age. Brain wash is not an insult is a reality. I know one too many ministers who have purchased the set just because a friend had it or they heard good things about it or because someone thought that other commentaries wouldn't exist if it wasn't for that particular set...LOL...so how often do most of them consult NICOT/NT? They barely do that, but they still boast that it is the first set that they go to when they are studying the Bible just because everybody else says the same thing and owns that set. I own a few copies and I can honestly tell you that I don't see what the whole deal is all about, they are just commentaries.
I can tell you one thing: Every time I've consulted my NICNT volumes and then read the Bible, the Bible sure ends up shedding a lot of light on those commentaries and other commentaries who have been written by "supposedly great Bible Scholars." And I wrote "Great Bible Scholars" slow because I know you can't read fast...[:D]...and I wrote it with a little twist of sarcasm, which I know you probably noticed too...hehehe.
Anyway, if it makes you feel important having NICOT/NT believe you me, I'm happy for you and all those who own it. Like I said, I mayyyy own it some day when it's below $1000 which is exactly what it should be priced at.
Happy Holidays!

Whoa there, young whipper-snapper. Leaving Jack's age out of it for a minute...I am surprised more young-uns aren't wise enough to realize a pile of little green bills is a very bad way to secure wealth. It is much better to die with nothing in the bank and a whole bunch of treasures laid up in Heaven. Buying golf clubs may not help you, but a few well-chosen study tools just might make a person a little better equipped to win souls and minister to a congregation's needs.Douglas Alvarenga said:I'm surprise you don't know that at your age.
Maybe you don't really mean it but you are painting many ministers of God out to be liars, arrogant and weak, peer-dependent frauds.

Jack Caviness does not need a commentary to "feel important" He has a fierce devotion to his wife (of many, many years) and a proud heritage with the Navy. When it comes to important, he is the real deal.
If you had said all this about me, I would have to agree; having NICOT/NICNT makes me feel special. And so does AYB, Portfolio, Hermeneia, Barth, WBC, Zondervan 1&2 (starting to sting yet? Toss in 2010 MC.) Now you got me acting like an 18 year old too.[:$]

First, LOL you're funny Super Tramp. How do you know I'm a young gun? Now what does a pile of little green bills have to do with anything? Now when it comes to a few well chosen study tools, trust me, NICOT/NT doesn't make a difference. I've known great preachers who never owned that set and perhaps only dreamed about it and they preach better than any Bible scholar of today.
Second, you'd be surprised, but the sad reality is that there's a lot of "ministers of God" who are liars, arrogant and week, peer-dependent frauds -- I'm surprised you haven't noticed -- they're all over. Being a minister doesn't automatically exempt you from not being a liar...many see godlines as a way of gain.
Third, when it comes to important Jesus is the real deal and as far as Jack's accomplishments, my hats off to him, we all have accomplished something and some are still in the process of accomplishing things in life, but as far as being the real deal Jesus is the real deal.
Fourth, this whole discussion was in general from what I've seen and not singling out any body in particular. So why do you all take it so personal...hehehe
Anyway, I'm happy for you guys, great discussion and no hard feelings.
Happy Holidays!

It's obvious that you're a "young gun." You're shooting your mouth off when you shouldn't be showing no respect for others. Whatever commentaries you use or choose to not use, you don't seem to have learned very much from them — in fact, I would say that you're just plain stupid. As for being young, anyone who had lived a few years would have learned long ago that such was not a proper or wise way to act or they might not have lived long enough to be anything but young.

George, as the OLD proverb says, "Do not answer a fool according to his folly." So I won't even bother, seems like you're too sensitive and immature to handle anything. One last thing, being OLD doesn't mean you're wiser it just means you've lived longer in some cases.

Indeed, being old does indicate that you're wiser — at least wiser than you (which really wouldn't take much). The reason being old does indicate a certain wisdom is that generally, if you don't have a bit of wisdom, you don't live very long. Keep it up "young whippersnapper", as Matthew called you, and I predict that sometime you will run into someone who will ensure that you don't live long enough to become old.

I know "young-uns" because I have so many. The pile of little green bills means we can be better stewards by using money to obtain tools and talents that can be used to work for God. Different servants need different tools. Some missionaries use a bicycle to carry the Gospel to the next community. Other missionaries would find a bicycle totally useless. It is the same way with commentaries. Some can make productive use of them. Other servants may not have a pulpit ministry.
As for the great preachers of the past; well, they were liars, arrogant, weak and peer-dependent too. Every one of us needs redemption. If any are "good" it is only the goodness of God. But some people, especially those who are saved, can be honest every now and then. If a person tells me they benefit from NICOT/NICNT I will believe they do. Same scenario with Interpreter's Bible or even J.Vernon McGee's Thru the Bible Commentary.

Super "Tramp" to me it sounded like a 357 not a 38.
AND Georgie, I know you can predict things (predicting is a sin - fortune teller), but if I ever run into someone who will ensure that I don't live long enough to become "old" then I'm just glad is not going to be you, because I know you lack the guts to do anything. You're like the old dog that barks and barks and never bites. So instead of predicting my death why don't you go work on Sunday morning's lesson - that'll prolly give you something productive to do.
Sure sucks being brain-washed by a set of NICOT/NT commentaries...look at how sensitive y'all got over this. I'm glad I don't put my trust on my commentaries - I think I'd rather keep putting my trust in the Bible instead of a set of over rated and too expensive set of commentaries like the NICOT/NT.

I said I was sorry in my note, but her comments were unnecessary. It's like everybody feels the need to interject when I was only giving my honest opinion in the first place. Read the whole thread -- Jack took offense and then I replied in a fair moderate comment and all of the sudden everybody decided to make a bigger deal than it really was. I guess it's bound to happen because it's hard to read emotions when you post in a forum. To me it was just a simple conversation, but others just blew it out of proportion.

Only one person ever was allowed to call me "Georgie", and that was my stepmother since my father was also George. Dougie, you wouldn't know whether the NICOT/NICNT is a good set or not since you lack the "little gray cells" to be able to determine that. Personally, I don't own them and don't intend to purchase them since they don't deal with the original texts in what I would consider to be a suitable manner. BTW: Why don't you do something useful with your life rather than occupying your parents basement? Sensitive? Say what you want about me since I'm a big boy and not only can but will defend myself. MJ probably can defend herself, but she's too gracious while I'm a curmudgeon and don't tolerate that. If you want a gut check, try me.

Hate to break it to you, but in my family women are bright and educated. My Mother's cousin was still an active professor at the University of Texas at 90. My Mother's aunt wrote her last book on education in America at 93. My grandmother ran a science lab at the University of Chicago before she married. Anne Marbury Hutchinson got kicked out of the Boston Colony for leading Bible study for wormen. If you ever are ready for a polite and logical discussion, I'd be glad to discuss with you why I made the denominational shift I did Young guns are more apt to be embarrassed than I - I have years of experience in a profession requiring precise thought and years of reading a range of material. Besides do you really want to raise the question "which is more powerful - the gun or the pen?"[H]

Want to see the HIMARS "weapon of choice" in action? First, turn down your volume (way down) then click this link for live action deployment. One of my sons works for Lockheed-Martin building these things, the other is a Navy Corpsman who makes sure the Marines wear their hearing protection when launching them.
What does this have to do with anything Logos? I would much rather somebody spend $1000~$1800 on a commentary set that could help them be a better minister or missionary and win souls for God (my rendition of a jihad, you might say) than to cough up $500 million for that weapon system that only destroys.

LOL and I thought i was the only trouble maker in the forum. [6] Alright, alright alright, let me sort this thread out cuz it lacks my touch...ho ho ho...Merry XMAS.
To be fair to doggie he was misunderstood he was indeed giving his honest opinion but that didnt give him the right to go after my old lady MJ she's hot in that pic and looks smart.
To be fair to Georgie he shouldn't be called Georgie cuz that brings him bad memories from his step mom she prolly abused him or something and that's not nice...[:O] you bad doggie!!!##$
To be or not to be fair to both of you that is the question...Georgie doggie said u didn't have the guts so logically he called u out already and all u did was say "if u want a gut check, try me." How many times does he need to try u? God I love Luke 17:1-2 you two! [8-|]
Alright, alright, hang on in there (family guy style...lol...luv that show) now both of u chicks needs to quit trying to be me in this forum. I'm sorry for being a bad role model but hey u dont have to copy me u bozos. It looks stupid to wanna be me. I'm unique and I've been know in this forum for being me so dont try to be me or I'll "sew" you for copyright violations.LOL
Now bring on the dumb comments its fine with me I dont get my feelings hurt by cyber ink[U] [B] cheers wine is good so dont judge those who drink DA Carson approves of it in his pillar commentary and it was so good to know he does cuz he's the man! LOL

Super "Tramp" to me it sounded like a 357 not a 38.
There is a difference in how a .357 and a .38 sound.
my .38
my son's choice of sidearm .357 magnum and his weapon of choice HIMARS missleI sent an 18 yr. old "young-'un" to Navy & Marine boot camps and they sent me back a man who can swim, perform medical procedures on the battlefield, carry a 230lb soldier on his back for miles, hit whatever he shoots at, and best of all; rise up and call his mother blessed.

To be fair to Georgie he shouldn't be called Georgie cuz that brings him bad memories from his step mom she prolly abused him or something and that's not nice...
No, she didn't abuse me. I only saw her when I spent time with my dad at his place or fishing at his lake cottage. Usually we would go bowling or to either a football game or a basketball game so she wasn't involved.
