    For those of you invested in this series, the Jeremiah version will get a different author. See this post

    I do understand their reasoning but am gravely disappointed to see a volume being pulled to sell it as a separate commentary. Especially by such a deeply loved author.

    Mattillo,

    Thanks for checking in again. I currently have no new updates regarding the EEC. I'll see if Derek has anything to add.

    As for the volumes without a publication status, I'll refer you to my post from May:

    When we updated the product page with the new publication status updates, we removed all of the estimated release dates (as we said we would). For the volumes that we don't have any concrete update for (as provided by Derek), we did not include a publication status at all. This does not mean that they are not currently being worked on. I can assure you that there are more than just four volumes currently in the writing stage. When I have more concrete details for these volumes, I will update the product page and post here on this forum thread. But I'm hesitant to assume anything until I have those details in hand from Derek.

    Good Afternoon Jake!  Any updates from you or the publisher?

    But if you have already purchased the EEC, you will also receive Keisers volumn as well:

    Good Afternoon Jake!  Just curious if there are any updates to post on this set.  I check the webpage for updates every now and then and there are some still with no authors and/or no comment about whether it is in writing or not.  I'd also be curious if Derek might have any updates to add as well.  Thank you in advance

    Just an observation, I found this posting while looking at another line of posts which said that this message had been sent to all who had purchased the EEC series.  I purchased it back when it first came out and I did not receive this message.

    It actually worked out better for us because if you had preordered the EEC you will get Kaiser's commentary unlocked for free (per that other thread that was linked above) and you will someday get the new EEC commentary on Jeremiah

    Interested to hear more as well. From the site, it looks like things have gone backwards. Only three volumes are with the editors; all the others are still miles away from publication. [:S]

    Thanks for checking in with us. I have a brief update for our plans for the series in 2019:

    • Daniel is in the door and will be released this summer.
    • We're hoping to publish Amos, Jonah, & Micah in print this year.

    I'll also ask Derek for a more detailed update.

    I don't say much anymore about EEC because now I am just going with the flow. Daniel later this summer. Great.

    Most of the OT volumes will come out ten years after you die.  Most of the NT volumes will come out 20 years after you die.

    I don't guess anyone has a more detailed update. Silence is always golden it would appear.

    Just as long as they come out before Jesus returns so we, in the next life, can check if they got it right [:)]

    Sold my set- will buy only if I need it and if its on sale.

    That's probably what many of us wished we would have done. I have already given up on this series (just look at the product page if you still keep your hopes up), and regard paying up-front for EEC the poorest prepaid investment I have ever done. I trusted Logos to deliver something, but they keep happily quiet about this struggling project, despite receiving criticism and promising to improve communication (which has gotten worse since that was promised). I should have collected the free volumes and bought the ones on sale. It would have given me about $600 to spend on commentary volumes I can actually use in my lifetime.

    I just looked at the product page and noticed that there are still FIVE volumes with a "TBA" author. That's almost EIGHT years after paying for the whole set.

    André, you have stated well the frustrations of so many who purchased the whole set.

    This is truly sad.  I can definitely understand why people are jumping ship but I'll hold on for a bit more.  The EEC volumes that have been released (and that I have gone through) have been really great (Exodus was the most recent).  What has been terrible is the communication.  Everyone knows commentaries take time to write but it just seems like nothing is going on.  I'm sure there is stuff happening behind the scenes but it is so hard to get an update that everyone just assumes there is nothing going on (at least I do).  Then you have them scrapping Varner's James (why not just do a re-edit and explain why?) and then turning the upcoming Jeremiah into a stand-alone.  Last I heard, EEC owners would get that for free but that just sets back the series so much more.  

    Faithlife, if you do read these threads, something (anything) would be nice just to know what is happening (from both you and the editor).  If it is nothing, that is fine but at least we know it is still being worked on and in progress.

    Again, I reiterate that the volumes I have perused through I thought were great!  I would just hate for everyone who is frustrated to run off and watch this set flounder around to a slow death.

    What we really needed is not better communication but quicker production.

    Gotcha, Mattillo.  Like a grain of sand thrown in to the Grand Canyon, U wonder at the idea its [mostly] abandoned.

    Hi Folks,

    Sorry for the delayed response here. The latest updates for the EEC are rather brief:

    • Amos, Jonah, & Micah is in the middle of typesetting and is on track to release in print this Fall
    • Daniel is also in the middle of typesetting. It will get a simultaneous print & digital release early next year.
