Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear
Have you seen that the The
Complete Works of William Shakespeare are now on PrePub?
Finally after all these years!
Now would be an excellent time to pre-order, while it's half
price.
For nought so vile
that on the earth doth live,
But to the earth some
special good doth give;
Nor aught so good, but,
strain'd from that fair use,
Revolts from true birth,
stumbling on abuse:
Virtue itself turns vice,
being misapplied,
And vice sometime 's by
action dignified.

At 80% to 90% right now. Just a few more pre-orders, and it's off to production.

I must be living in a different world than the rest of you. [:)]
I cannot imagine spending 30 seconds reading Shakespeare. Though I admit if you like it, that is a really good deal.

I was forced to read Shakespeare in high school and it definitely did not help me to have a Christian mindset, au contraire; however some of the English poets did along with Screwtape letters which I was also required to read.Paul Golder said:Jerry Bush said:I must be living in a different world than the rest of you.

My English Literature teacher in high school had us act out Macbeth while standing on top of our desks. Every since then Shakespeare's words have come alive within my heart.

I enjoy Shakespeare, read it in high school - but the public enducation system has a way of reducing literary works (i.e. mock trials for Macbeth and his wife, turning Hamlet into a twisted comedy, etc - yes my english instructor was on the bizarre side) - and have a hardcopy of this edition. When not i use it makes a great doorstop [:P]. I would like to see titles like the Screwtape Letter from C.S. Lewis as well. Although I can't see buying this one - although it would be a nice addition - it is a plus.
In Christ,

Being one who asked for it years ago due to it's quotability, I placed my order - in hopes that it will not be completed before the money is set aside. [:^)]

I think you are right. I know that the ESV Study Bible was quick, but I don't think it was this fast.
It looks like it's at 100%, and just needs someone at Logos to "push the button" for full production. [:D]

I don't understand why this is getting so much attention when there are other items that seem more appropriate for study that are languishing here. For example:
The Decades of Heinrich Bullinger (4 Vols.)
The Decades of Heinrich Bullinger include 50 godly and learned sermons, divided into five decades containing the chief and principal points of Christian Religion—over 1,800 pages of sermons and related material. more »

New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge (13 Vols.)
For more than a century, the New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge has set the standard for biblical and theological reference works. Over a period of nearly four decades, nearly 100 editors and more than six hundred scholars under the editorship of Philip Schaff collaborated to write the most detailed and comprehensive biblical and theological encyclopedia in the English language. For the first time in this third edition, Schaff successfully brought together into a singular reference work the most important scholarship from biblical studies, historical and doctrinal theology, archaeology, geography, church history, patristics, and comparative religion. The resulting work ranks among the best-selling and most-cited Christian reference materials, and has been the first stop for pastors, teachers, parents, students, and scholars for more than a century. more »

That seems like a personal judgment call to me.

Thanks for pointing it out...I just preordered it.

Tell me why I should want this (beyond what the product page tells me). I already have extensive dictionaries and encyclopedias.

In Shakespeare's works we find no fewer than 550 quotations from, and references to, Sacred Scripture. He quotes from fifty-four of the Books of the Bible. Not only one of his thirty-seven plays is without a quotation from God's word, or at least an allusion to it.
The student of Shakespeare must have noticed how often the Bard of Avon goes to the shepherds and fishermen of the Bible for poetic inspiration. Read Richard II and you will find forty; Richard III and you will find forty-nine; go through Hamlet and you will find eighty quotations from Scripture.
I did a search in my Logos library for Shakespeare and received theses results: 1772 results in 1525 articles in 276 resources

Slowly but surely the "library" modules of Logos expand to cover areas that historically have not been part of the Logos product mix before...good, bad, or indifferent. Wonder what other libraries will appear once the classic market is conquered?

They have had some unusual items in the past. One was an Atlas model railroad guide. They also, back when everyone was worried, carried a Y2K survival guide that Nelson had published.
As well, they currently offer the American history collection.

One of my favorite examples just for it's raw obscurity. I actually called up the Atlas Co. a few years ago and asked them for a copy, just so I could have it. It adds No value whatsoever to my Logos Library, but my son and I have enjoyed looking at some of the layouts (he is a train nut).Paul Golder said:They have had some unusual items in the past.

However I have failed to gain even one exegetical gem from it.

If not exegetical, at least poetic. As in: "The Ties that Bind Us..." [;)]

Ward, FWIW I had to call them and inquire. I don't believe it was available on the website. IIRC the gentleman I talked to indicated they may just destroy them at some point in the future - a future which has probably come to pass by now. [:S]
