Commentary on the Prophets of the Old Testament (5 vols.)by von Ewald, Georg Heinrich August

Does anyone have this product? Is it fully searchable in the same way that most other Logos books are? I looked at the previews but it looks like scans from pages in the print versions. What can I expect when I purchase this book? Is this a good product or are there other series that are better? What appeals to me is that it is promoted as being written in chronological order. Basically, is it worth purchasing?

Yes, I have it if you would like to see an excerpt.

I would say it is. It has a page index as well as a Bible index (BHS Hebrew)

What can I expect when I purchase this book?

He uses a lot of Hebrew alliteration in reference to names etc. It is an older work, there may be better books, but I haven't used it enough to evaluate it. What you get out of it probably depends on what is available in the rest of your library and your familiarity with Hebrew.

Theoretically, yes, but I'm guessing you don't normally search for Yesaya, Yéremyá, Yôél, Yuda, Yaqob, Mikha, Hézeqiel, Ssephanya or Habaqqûq, so don't expect too many search results unless you remember to adapt your spelling. [:D]

I haven't really had time to look at it, but I can't imagine I'd be willing to pay $100. I got it for $12.

You can also use the search syntax <Ezek> to find all references to what the author calls Hézeqiel, and likewise for other books of the Prophets:

You can if you're looking for references to the Bible book, but not, I believe, if you're looking for what various people have to say about about the person (or place, as in Yuda).

Good point.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I think this is probably not quite what I thought it might be. I have about $90 in credits from the Christmas sale and am deciding how to spend it. I think something else might be a better investment. I have the Scholars base package.

Are you aware of the Daily Deal? A new item on sale every weekday for 50% off? Then there's March Madness coming up. If there's nothing you need urgently, you will get a lot more for your money if you wait for the right sale. I don't think I've ever bought a single item for the full price yet, and I have no intention to.

Thanks, no I am not aware of the daily deal. How do I find it?

(Generally, the very best deals are on Community Pricing, but you can't use the Christmas Credit for that.)
