Moody titles will be going away

Kent can you explain in general terms why this is happening? Can we still purchase them today?

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/479924#Comment_479924

If I'm not mistaken is that not 275 resources? That is huge!

I'm sorry; I'm not able to go into further detail.

You can still purchase them at this very moment.

This is very disappointing but thanks for the warning. There were many resources that I have not yet purchased that were on my wish list. Unfortunately I am only able to afford a few of them now which I just purchased before they are removed.

Hey Kent, I was wondering if you could tell us why this "Luke 6-10: MacArthur New Testament Commentary" was dropped off prepub after a couple of years and if it may come back?

Thanks

I too feel like I had to jump on some MacArthur resources before they were gone at close of business today.

I also have a prepub for Classic Commentaries on Revelation, will that still go through or be taken offline?

No, the Classic Commentaries on Revelation are all public domain. You don't have to worry about losing that pre-pub; that content ought to be available for sale in Logos indefinitely.

Presumably, it will not go through. When you sign up for a pre-pub, you haven't actually purchased the item… Hopefully what ever issues are going on will be resolved sooner than later.

EDIT - Nevermind. [:)]

EDIT 2 - The giveaway should have been when you wrote "classic commentaries." [:P]

One wonders if Moody Publishing is perhaps firming up their partnership with the other publisher in Nashville...

William Gabriel

The Publisher=Moody parameter is very helpful, but is there a way to use the url parameters to exclude certain things? E.g. I already have all the MacArthur titles I need, and his individual commentaries clutter the list. Is there an easy way to do Moody but not MacArthur?

You can do "Moody books that I don't have already" by adding &unlocked=no to the end of the url. You can add that to the end of any search url to exclude books you already own.

I wish there were a way to do this in the UI of the website (they were going to add it), but it's not there yet. However it's cool that you can do it manually in the meantime.

Sometime in the very near future, all Moody titles not in the public domain will be removed from Logos.com and will not be available for purchase.

This could happen as early as today.

We do not know when or if they will be coming back.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

That is really too bad, but thank you for the heads up. There were a few titles in there I'd been wanting to get eventually, and I guess now = eventually.

That is very cool Rosie. How did you discover that? I will have to save that one for future searches. I totally agree with you that it would be great if this were a feature on the website.

Thanks Rosie, that's a step in the right direction. There are also a couple of other authors of whom I don't own any resources that I'd still like to filter out (just didn't want to name any names). But your method brings it down to four 60-item pages, which is reasonable.

Thanks for the heads up. I have all the moody titles but was wondering if this also applies to Vyrso Moody titles. Is Moody Vyrso titles also affected?

And is there a way to see "collections" only and filter out the individual titles?

Andrew Stewart

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/480007#Comment_480007

And is there a way to see "collections" only and filter out the individual titles?

I think if you search for "title:bundle OR title:collection OR title:vols" it will get it pretty close.

This link will take to that search for Moody titles (with "unlocked=no" added for good measure):

Publisher = Moody & title:bundle OR title:collection OR title:vols & unlocked = no

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/480000#Comment_480000

That is very cool Rosie. How did you discover that?

Someone posted it on the forums and I took note of it for future reference. It must have been revealed initially by a Logos employee, as I can't imagine anyone guessing that.

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/480005#Comment_480005

Ah, it turns out you can filter out authors. Search for publisher:moody -author:macarthur

Subtract any other authors you want to omit using that minus sign syntax (no space between the minus and "author" nor around the colons).

Then you can add the &unlocked=no parameter manually to the end of the URL that gets generated from that search.

What if we already purchased them? Will we still have access please?

I didn't think that was "general knowledge". I have followed your example and saved this for future reference. Thanks!

You won't ever lose resources you have already purchased. You just won't be able to buy new ones from Moody.

I went here https://www.logos.com/user/wishlists but dont know how to tell which are the Moody Titles. I want to buy the lower cost ones if there is a chance I may not be able to get them later. Kent...this is very stressful.

I had the same question and would love to hear what people recommend.

I already went through picking out two books that I only had paper versions but eventually wanted digital copies because I consider both of these classics:

I just found this contact information at the Moody Publishers website, I sent them a request asking them to do all that is possible within their power to reverse the action mentioned by Kent. I don't know if it will do any good, but it can't hurt.

Any Moody's must-have titles before it's too late?

Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament (Robert Laird Harris, Gleason L. Archer Jr., Bruce K. Waltke) - "monumental reference work"; one of the co-authors (in bold) was a former professor of mine who is a meticulous scholar and deeply prayerful man; I don't use this as often as some of the other lexicons, but it's one I would want to snap up if I didn't have it already

And don't forget Vyrso. I just checked there and found some interesting nuggets published by Moody.

https://vyrso.com/products/search?q=publisher%3Amoody

Here one is a great autobiography that I owned already but would like to recommend to others who might have overlooked it. I know the author (he attends my parents' church) and his story of escape from Sudan and return to found a ministry there is dramatic and inspiring.

I don't know, but I don't see why it would be any different since it's a Logos brand. But Kent would be the only one (who has participated in this thread so far) who would know for sure.
