Some more new base packages:

  • Verbum 8 Eastern Rite Starter is complete with study Bible notes, Bible dictionaries, devotionals, and a few key commentaries, as well as Eastern Catholic Meditations for Advent, Lent, and Holy Week and translations of the Early Church Fathers.
  • Verbum 8 Eastern Rite Bronze builds on everything included in Verbum 8 Eastern Rite Starter adding even more Bible study tools and additional reference works, including practical study resources like Orthodox Bible Study Companion Series (13 vols.) and the Ancient Faith Introductions Collection (8 vols.). It even includes a few key texts and tools to get you started with basic Greek and Hebrew study.
  • And with Verbum 8 Eastern Rite Silver, you’ll get every tool we’ve created for the study of Scripture. It also comes with a library of over 300 books, including advanced theological and Patristic scholarship like the Ancient Faith Biblical & Theological Studies Bundle (33 vols.).
  • And Verbum 8 Eastern Rite Gold provides a comprehensive Bible study library with more than double the books included in Logos 8 Silver. Not only does Eastern Rite Gold include every Bible study tool we’ve created but it also comes with hundreds of commentaries. You’ll have all the resources you need for serious study of Scripture alongside the writings of the Church Fathers, including Fathers of the Church: Greek Fathers of the Nicene Era (35 vols.), the Popular Patristics Series, and other resources ideal for sermon prep or more advanced study of Scripture.

    It cost me ~$43 for Gold. Curiously, when I bought Starter (for 32 cents) Bronze through Silver was shown as “owned.”

    I am wondering what “Base Package Track Eastern Rite Marker Resource” is supposed to be.

    The only library resource in Starter that I do not have is also the only library resource I don't have in Bronze. You likely have a similar situation.

    I am wondering what “Base Package Track Eastern Rite Marker Resource” is supposed to be.

    The name actually explains exactly what it is. That it's visible on the website is website error. It will not be visible in your Library... just as the other base package tracking resources are not visible in your Library.

    For 32 cents I'm in.  Will do a deeper review of the other options.

    probably will depend on dynamic. I already had Verbum Platinum and Orthodox Gold.

    You can still tell us about how great all the resources are and who all should particularly appreciate and benefit from these packages. [:)]

    Yes MJ, some posters have all the resources, yet the add to cart is live, is there a reason why?

    Yes SineNomine, or better yet what particular topics, themes, thrusts, concepts are best studied with such package.

    Gold cost me $57 but worth it for the Eerdmans Art encyclopedia alone.

    i had that happen with Bronze after I bought Gold. But once I clicked add to cart, it was automatically taken out and next time it was grayed out. (Just be prepared to take it out of the cart if it doesn’t happen for you.)

    Thank you David.

    I really wish the packages would bring a small resource stating what particular aspects of (systematics, Biblical, practical, etc) theology is best suited for, and then also recommended readings in the resources to add valued to the purchase.

    Peace and grace.

    Such distinctions are nearly meaningless in all the Byzantine and Oriental churches. They' a Western church thing.

    And recommend readings would be subjective, influenced by one’s tradition and reason for reading the resources in the first place as well as being influenced those things of the person compiling this information.

    And then there is the added cost - someone has to bear the cost of the persons adding this value to each base package.

    As I understand it, this set would be for people who are (off the top of my head): Catholics of the Eastern Rite, people who are interested in the Eastern churches, potential converts, and those hoping to supplement their library. Likewise, Ordinariate would be of interest to Catholics in the Anglican Use Ordinariate, Anglicans interested in Catholicism, people looking to supplement their library. (There are probably a lot more potential interests).

    I agree with your lists. I also add that the Eastern Rite Verbum packages may be of interest to Eastern Orthodox Christians due to the significant overlap in interests and resources. (In addition to the Fathers, etc., a fair number of the more modern Eastern-specific resources are in fact resources produced by Eastern Orthodox Christians.)
