Top 5 Courses ~~ Which one?

I'm trying to decide which course to choose for free. I narrowed it down to 5

1. Mobile Ed: BI206 New Testament Exegesis: Understanding and Applying the New Testament (14 Hours).

2. Mobile Ed: BI205 Old Testament Exegesis: Understanding and Applying the Old Testament (15 Hours).

3. Mobile Ed: TH293 Israelology: The Doctrine of Israel (13 Hours).

4. Mobile Ed: CM151 Preparing and Delivering Christ-Centered Sermons I: Foundations and Structures (15 Hours).

5. Mobile Ed: NT305 New Testament Theology (12 Hours).

I own the textbooks for choices 1, 2 and 4. Which one would you choose. Or if you have any other good suggestions, I'll gladly consider it.

Thanks!

Those are all excellent titles. I went for Mobile Ed: BI206 New Testament Exegesis (14 hour course).

I picked up several of the CM15x courses and was appreciative of them. Background: preacher though I may be, I've never had any preaching classes.

I picked BI205 simply because it was the most expensive course offered and it had been one I had been thinking about. I figured that if I had to buy one of the others later, I'd rather it be one of the less expensive ones. [H]

NT305 is a very good course, BTW. Well presented.

I have decided I will take #1 as my course.

The most expensive & with most hours.

I’m sure CM151 is great, but a lot of Bryan Chapell’s preaching class material is free on the internet. I listened to an iTunes podcast of the class. There’s also https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/course/christ-centered-preaching/#course-introduction, so just make sure you want it that badly in Logos. His book also overlaps quite a bit I believe.

I thought about going for the most expensive one as well, but I decided to choose the one I really can always use, since the topic is so related to so much of what I study and teach. Mobile Ed: NT202 A Survey of Jewish History and Literature from the Second Temple Period (10 hour course). It covers an incredible amount of sources. I haven't heard this particular teacher, but I don't think I will be disappointed.

I almost went for that one but ended up getting NT202 (A Survey of Jewish History and Literature from the Second Temple Period) because it's a subject I'm interested in and it's been a course I've been wanting for a long time. I had a preview of it at one point but didn't finish it before the temporary license expired.

Agreed. Used my Connect credit to grab it for awhile and ended up perusing his book a lot more than the actual video content. The Logos added benefit is the additional resources to review at the end of each section - I was able to find many useful insights with them.

Just finished that a couple months ago. Very good course. Kind of limited in terms of in-depth information, but as a cursory overview it is a good course.

How can you tell which courses apply. I am looking at upgrading to Platinum. I chatted with a rep online and he couldn't tell me. I am interested in CM210 Preaching Narrative Sermons.

Question: I think I have the monthly Faithlife essentials package.

I get 2 free ebooks monthly. But, for the courses I think I get 2 yearly. However, since I have only been w. Logos for a few months now and have already got my 2 courses, will I still be able to get 2 free courses after the first of the year?

And, I would presume that there is a $$ limit on the courses, no?

Finally, I am currently taking Hebrew I and Greek II - and have been watching the courses on understanding exegesis of Hebrew & Greek, but, man, it’s pretty pricey. Would love to be able to get that course! Any input would be much appreciated!

You should be able to see exactly what subscription you have at https://connect.faithlife.com/account/subscriptions

From the FAQ - https://connect.faithlife.com/faq:

"Codes are valid for one year from the time that they are issued and are issued in January, April, July, and October. They may only be used once per user. Once you redeem a Faithlife Courses code, you can access the course for six months."

When was you last code issued?

And, I would presume that there is a $$ limit on the courses, no?

Not to the best of my knowledge - but I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

Do you mean the courses included in https://www.logos.com/product/117883/mobile-ed-biblical-exegesis-bundle?

If so they seem to be included in the Faithlife Connect offering - as individual courses and not as the bundle.

I have been considering getting Mobile Ed: HB101 Introduction to Biblical Hebrew so I can brush up on my Hebrew, but I think I may get my "daily dose" elsewhere online [;)]. I am currently looking at getting Mobile Ed: BI206 New Testament Exegesis: Understanding and Applying the New Testament as my free course. I am hoping there will be several short video clips in it that I will be able to incorporate into Bible classes (thinking specifically about unit 9 and word studies).

Thank you Graham. I think my last MobileEd. course was issued in Sept. (2018) from what I can see. Guess I will just have to wait to see if I am able to redeem a code in Jan. Would love to get those courses to take Greek and Hebrew to the next level.

I do indeed have the Faithlife Essentials (appreciate the link). If I am reading right, it appears that we can only access the MobileEd courses for 6 mos. I was not aware there was a limit on access.

Thanks again.

Hi power users:

This is awesome, I did not even know we could redeem a course.

I went with AP120:

https://www.logos.com/product/54848/mobile-ed-ap120-introducing-covenantal-apologetics-i-foundations

Worldview's relation to systematics has always been an interesting topic, and seems like the course links the two.

Thanks Logos for the offer.

Hamilton Ramos

Does anybody know if one can swap courses with other users?

Example:

If a friend has a course in English, but he can only work with Spanish or Portuguese, can he give me the license to his English course, and then I give him the license of one of my Spanish course?

If that can be done, how is the procedure?

Thanks ahead of time for any guidance on this.

If it’s part of a base package or a bundle you can’t do it. If you bought the course separately, then each of you would have to pay the transfer fee ($20 each) to “swap it,” which is technically called “a license transfer.” Email CS and request a license transfer and they’ll give you instructions on how to do it.

I've not yet bought a BP that includes the complimentary course. I'm waiting for my academic discount first. From your list, I like best #3. Arnold Fruchtenbaum seems to be excellent, and by God's grace, he will be my OT professor.

That's the exact reason why I'm not going to choose his course. I'll get his teaching through seminary distance learning instead.

As for my course, I'll probably choose one of the book studies by Craig Keener or Craig Evans. I really appreciate their teaching style, and have gained many insights from their courses that I already own. I believe my choice will be between NT314, NT319, NT317, NT385.

I just got Logos 8. To get the Mobile Ed course, is the redemption code emailed to us? Does it matter if one did a payment plan?

I am working through Israelology and can highly recommend it. It does follow the textbook very closely, so if you prefer to just read, the text contains all of the content, often nearly word-for-word

I waited and debated and ended up getting New Testament Theology as my free course.

Yesterday Old Testament Theology was released, so I'm satisfied to get both for a $100 total. The NT free and the OT for $100.

Hi Keith, happy New Year:

Have you thought of starting a FL group to share opinions, impressions, questions and the like about Theology as per the OT and NT mob ed courses you mentioned?

I acquired deSilva's NT362: Exegetical Study: Letter to the Hebrews. I own all those other courses except TH293 which I am not interested at this time.
