L10 Denominational Packages: What looks good?

As a Catholic (so my strategy might not work for others), this is how I approach it:

My priority is always Verbum and it’s sub groups (Eastern and Ordinariate) first. after that comes Orthodox as there can be some useful overlap with Eastern patristic writings. Third is Anglican as it sometimes supplements the Ordinariate set. Fourth, the Messianic Judaism sets might have useful Jewish texts.

After that, it depends on whether it has a resource I want at a better price than buying it separately. But, as I’ve gotten a large number of the foundational works from previous version, there’s less reason for me to buy those sets.

So, we did this with L9, but so far I have not seen a thread of this for L10: which denominational base packages look like particularly good values? With L9 I ended up an academic base package, but this time they’re looking a little lacklustre, perhaps because I already own quite a few of the resources. OTOH, Academic Professional does have TDOT, which I haven’t been able to lay my hands on yet.

Orthodox Silver and up has J. Pelikan’s The Christian Tradition, which is currently on pre-pub and is an essential for historical theology. A number of the other Gold packages have it too.

What’s catching your eye? I’m especially interested in Gold and lower packages as, let’s face it, higher packages are necessarily going to have a lot of good stuff in them.

Orthodox Silver is what I ended up going with.  As a lay leader that's interested in church history and the writings of the church fathers, it hit the sweet spot based on what I already owned from previous upgrades.  I didn't have ISBE and ACCS yet.  Those resources with the new L10 features were worth it for the package.  The rest of was huge bonus and good fit for my interests.  J. Pelikan's The Christian Tradition is definitely of interest to me as well.

I picked up Baptist Gold, Reformed Gold, and Academic Professional, with an eye towards portfolio for those two traditions. 

Baptist Portfolio is loaded with Sermons, and tons of the classic commentary and studies sets. Reformed portfolio has NICOT/NT, a good selection of the classic commentary and studies set, some of the HD commentaries (I don't have the full set), REC, Carta, Pink, Kuyper, and Barth. 

Standard Portfolio is on my radar too, because of Lightfoot, Murray, Ryle, Torrey, Ironside, Geerhardus Vos, the dispensationalists are of medium interest. The Journals are interesting too. Greek and Hebrew language books are frequently on my short list, and there are plenty of those (and latin) in Standard Portfolio. This package has a well filled out sermon section too - Platt, Carson, Rogers, Piper, Whitefield, and Talmage. Nac, and the IVP are good additions here too. Though I have both of those.

One caveat. Baptist Gold says it has the COMPLETE bible study library. But it is decidedly incomplete. The completely incomplete complete library is included all except two volumes - The interlinears.

Fixed it, thanks. 

Sacramentum Mundi: An Encyclopedia of Theology (6 vols.)

Thanks for the heads-up. Just picked this up very inexpensively. Would have been $149.99 reg price, but it's included in Verbum 10 Academic Essentials, which I got for the dynamic price of $18.32 even though the remaining resources in it which I didn't have yet totaled a whopping $396.90 in value! I think that must be the best dynamic price deal I've ever gotten!

I got some amazing deals, too. Especially because I had recently bought a L9 package. I don't know what I paid for what, because I had a cart full that was bringing down all the prices and then a big coupon off the final price. I did not upgrade to V10 because I wanted the new features; I wanted the resources in the packages.

I too have a fairly large library which I have been judiciously adding stuff to over time. Nothing the new base libraries offered had much to attract me. But Anglican Bronze had  https://www.logos.com/product/223227/the-new-encyclopedia-of-archaeological-excavations-in-the-holy-land which I wanted, and had already committed to as a prepub. In this base package, with dynamic pricing it was going to cost me a lot less than the prepub price. I added Anglican Bronze to the cart, then threw in the full Logos 10 feature set, and found I would only be about $60 US out of pocket on the on the original prepub price for the Carta resource.
