I like to update my bookmarks with the full list from the site each year. I found both at https://denverseminary.edu/the-denver-journal/2018/ but clicking on OT and NT does not show me the lists. I am hoping someone can help to get those working. Thanks

That is strange. They must have pulled it down for some reason. I assume it will come back, but you could email the journal and let them know.

Keep in mind that I only create the Personal Books, and the comments are those of the authors. Their comments on the 1994 Brotzman text state that it is a "Good Evangelical introduction for the beginner," and the work is titled "A Practical Introduction." I would assume that Tov is more detailed and scholarly, but I do not know for sure. The table of contents on Amazon does indeed show more detail, and it is considerably longer..

Yes, I am bored.
In versions OT2020.2.0 and NT2020.2.0 I have finished going through all resources unavailable in Logos and linked them via a special note at the end of the entry to their Kindle page if available there.
I also added the following available resource link which I had somehow missed in the past:

No problem Mark! It's therapeutic for me; however, it's also a double edged sword, as I always end up buying something when I work on it.

Would there be a reason for not having the OT and NT resources in one PB file?

Joseph
Would there be a reason for not having the OT and NT resources in one PB file?
Hi Mark! Yes, several. The most important reason is that they are separate on the Denver Journal page, and when I got permission from Dr. Hess to post them publicly as Personal Books, it was assumed that I would present them as close to the originals as possible. Also, the formatting of the two is slightly different, and they are sometimes updated by Denver Seminary throughout the year at different times, so keeping them separate allows me to update one and not the other, though honestly, I usually wait until both are updated by Denver Seminary to update them.
As far as how you build them in Logos, no. There is no reason you couldn’t combine them.
