The Next Chapter in the EEC
Comments
-
For those who do not have Köstenberger's BECNT on John, they may be glad that he is now doing for EEC.
I hope is a correction plus new material of the now gone BECNT on John. Even if he replicated most of the material, it’d be like a new commentary since the others are out of print due to an academic mistake which I don’t think it was intentional.
Maybe they could invite O’Brien and have him correct his volumes and publish them as part of the EEC series. I definitely wouldn’t mind and it’ll help speed up the process in pumping new volumes out.
I think the series was supposed to be finished or almost finished by now, but hey, it’s a huge undertaking to write a full fledged commentary on the entire Bible.
I hope/wish they do the apocryphal books too (deSilva comes to mind for those).
Anyway, great technical series but useful for everyone. Keep them coming! 👍😁👌

i'm trying to remember: was the series bent toward a premillenial or dispensationalist perspective?
I don't know in regards to the entire series but the Daniel volume takes the premillenial view (see below). He does give a really nice overview of all the interpretations before this though. I didn't know there were so many!
Revelation still has Michael Stallard listed whom I believe is a dispensational person... I could be wrong though
(h) Messianic Postponement View (Prophetic-Year Calculation)
This view is similar to the preceding but takes as its terminus a quo the authorization to Nehemiah in 444 bc and bases its calculations on “prophetic years” (having 360 days) rather than solar years. As with the preceding view, the final “week” is taken to be the seven years prior to Christ’s return when the antichrist makes a covenant with Israel.
Adherents. R. Anderson, A. J. McClain, J. Walvoord, C. L. Feinberg, P. Feinberg, H. W. Hoehner, J. D. Pentecost, and J. P. Tanner.
Description. This is a literal approach that understands the “word/decree” of Dan 9:25 as referring to a word from Artaxerxes in the year 445/444 bc, authorizing Nehemiah to return to Jerusalem to rebuild it and its walls. The first seven “weeks” are understood as the next forty-nine years when presumably the city of Jerusalem and its walls were being rebuilt. The “years,” however, are meant to be understood as prophetic years of 360 days each. The sixty-nine “weeks” of years (7 + 62 = 483 years) would then extend from 444 bc to ad 33, the more commonly recognized year of Christ’s crucifixion (as demonstrated in section v above).
Like the previous view, the final “week” does not immediately follow the first sixty-nine weeks, but is postponed. It is fulfilled when the antichrist makes a covenant with the Jewish people (v. 27) that initiates the final seven years leading up to Christ’s return.
Evaluation. The primary concern over this proposal is that the mathematical calculations can only be made to work by assuming years of 360 days (a prophetic year) rather than solar years of approximately 365 ¼ days. Nevertheless, this is the view adopted in this commentary, a defense of which is given in the following section.

Thanks, Matillo. I had thought there was an intentional bent toward that view for the whole series, this seems to point in that direction. Just good to know.

Hi Jake,
Thanks for the update. Why can't Logos sell the individual volumes separately?

It seems only some are available as separate. I wanted the EEC for Deuteronomy by Abner Chou.

Unfortunately, Chou's volume on Deuteronomy hasn't been published yet. It's only available in the full 44-volume collection. Once it's been published, it will be available for purchase separately.

Jake,
I guess its good that things continue to move on, however a number of us that paid full price back in 2011 or so are still waiting.
I'm mostly over the pain around us being told that it would never be cheaper etc etc etc.
But every time I see one in free book of the month, and get another for some tiny amount, or the now 20% discount, it still hurts.
I picked up a new (but old, ex lease) PC two weeks ago, so finally after no useful home PC for a year or two, I've now got Logos downloading and rebuilding its indexes. So I look forward to the recent EEC Daniel.
Regards,
Jim Towler

I purchased the full set at the time the series was announced but don't have the Deuteronomy volume.
Please may I have it. I did pay for it some time ago.

Mike, the Deuteronomy volume is still being written. You will get it when it is finished.

Thank you for the info Kenneth.
I obviously read...
"It's only available in the full 44-volume collection."
as
"It's only available in the full 44-volume collection now"
not as
"It('s) will only available in the full 44-volume collection in due course and later will be available separately"

Well, there's your mistake, right there. The sentence is using the future-past-present-perfect tense (aka Logos tense).

How do we get the updated artwork to appear on our computers?
This is being investigated. It's unclear what the issue is currently.
Has there been any progress on the new artwork showing up on the PC?

I haven’t had the dark covers anymore and it’s been a while already. I like the new covers (white and gray with theologians in the background); the new covers are similar in concept as the NICOT/NT covers. They’re both in my mobile and desktop devices.

Same here. I bought the series this week and the old artwork shows on my mac. The new artwork only in iOS.

Check again! I double checked and the volume on James and the volume on Jude still have the old brown covers. Maybe James because of plagiarism, but Jude? Maybe an oversight. Oh well, the content is still there 👍😁👌

I agree they are outstanding, but every project has at least an expected completion date so individuals are not left hanging. That is all I am asking for.

Well, there goes another 160 bucks. But thanks for pointing this out, Matillo!

I'm waiting to pull the trigger until we get closer. I'm also hoping Logos add the upcoming Commentary for Christian Formation series. NT Wright's Galatians is coming out first.

Are any more EEC volumes going to come out within the next 18 months?
