    What does this have to do with romance among the French?  [;)]

    Yeah.  I was wondering if we were going to have to give it an X rating.

    Welcome to the forums.

    Sorry, I'm nowhere near as enthusiastic as you are. Far too Evangelical for my taste. Plus, if I'm going to buy French books, it won't be translations from English.

    What I want is:

    • Traduction oecuménique de la Bible (TOB)
    • Bible de Jérusalem
    • Thérèse de Lisieux: Œvres complètes
    • Important Catholic books that haven't been translated

    Interesting that this is already in production. I wonder if they skipped the PrePub phase?

    The recent influx of Portugese language books (by Sociedades Bíblicas Unidas) entered from the same backdoor it seems. Probably to avoid having to linger in prepub for too long because of insufficient foreign language users of Logos.

    I suspect they already existed, but used to be sold through a Brazilian company. After all, Logos has had a Portuguese UI for quite some time, so there must have been Portuguese resources, even though we haven't seen them on logos.com.

    I won't be surprised if we see some resources in Afrikaans soon as well. From what I understand, the South African company that used to sell Logos doesn't exist any more.

    These are Libronix titles which were sold through the Sociedade Bíblica do Brasil:

    That leaves Sweden as the last country to have its own distributor for Logos resources:

    Hadn't thought about that, but you're probably right.

    For a year or so I assumed they were going the same way: nothing new, no updates to the website, even a "Summer" sale that was left up until... well, probably the next summer. (Or was it an Advent sale that was left up? No, I think it was a summer one.) But then, suddenly, a completely redone website turned up. They still haven't produced a single new resource since before September 2010, but I presume they wouldn't have spent time on a new website if they hadn't secured a continuing contract with Logos, so I presume they intend to stay in business a while longer.

    Wait, there was a thread quite a while ago where we tried to figure out what the Bibles behind the 'odd' Pericope Sets (that no longer show up if you don't have them) were. Turned out Logos had Bibles in languages we'd never even heard about. Who's selling those Bibles?

    Agreed. Thumbs up!. Segond is not the equivalent of the KJV unless one is using the TBS version as I said before. Also, the TWO bibles mentioned are excellent choices although I have them in print editions.

    I hadn't noticed this thread! I did a search and it seems at least two Bible Societies (Hong Kong Bible Society & Indonesian Bible Society) are still offering a Libronix product.

    I already have TOB in Logos but it would be great if all Bibles from discontinued Libronix collections (Japanese, Afrikaans, etc,) would become available as separate downloads!
