Thompson Chain Reference Bible Library
Hi. I just watched a training video led by Morris Proctor. In the video, he explained how to use the Thompson Chain Reference Bible Library when Logos offered that resource. It looks like a great resource and I would love to see you folks offer it again. Is that possible that you will offer this resource again? Thanks.

I have the setup and it’s useful for that particular resource. Hopefully the new edition can be offered some day.

Thanks for posting this response Dal. I knew that Logos used to have this resource in it's older version, but if I can ask, what version offered it? I thought perhaps it would be still avialable in some of the older libraries.

I have it both in Logos and in physical form and I love using it. It is one of my go-to topical resources.

Kirkbride sold the Thompson Chain Reference Bible to Zondervan/HarperCollins, which is why we have temporarily stopped offering it. We have the KJV version of the notes in production with a new license in place.
Zondervan also offers the TCRB notes in NIV, ESV, NASB, and NKJV. I don't see the value in producing all of the various version of the notes, but besides the KJV already in production, what version of the TCRB notes would some of you want to see developed?

What about a german version?

@NichtnurBibelleser do you know of a German publisher who has the rights for the TCRB?

A quick search seems to show SCM.

I personally would like to see the NIV (although Zondervan is notorious for not making things available to international customers, even outside of the eBook store - yes, I'm still having in my wish list - so even if you were to produce it I'm not betting money on being able to buy it).
Have joy in the Lord!

"Kirkbride sold the Thompson Chain Reference Bible to Zondervan/HarperCollins, which is why we have temporarily stopped offering it."
What constitutes "Temporarily stopped offering it", Rick?

What constitutes "Temporarily stopped offering it", Rick?
We had to cease offering the Kirkbride version and license the HarperCollins version. I have no idea what the differences will be in the new version, but it is in production and will be available for purchase as soon as it is completed. My apologies, but I don't have a release date for it right now.

Thanks, Rick. The more videos I see on it, the more intrigued I am.

By the way Rick, it would be great if the TCRB notes were in NASB.

Hi, Rick. You say:
"We had to cease offering the Kirkbride version and license the HarperCollins version. I have no idea what the differences will be in the new version, but it is in production and will be available for purchase as soon as it is completed. My apologies, but I don't have a release date for it right now."
I am not asking for a specific date, but do you have an approximation of when the new TCRB may be offered? And, will it only be available to those who choose to subscribe? Thanks.

@Clayton Desjarlais there's not a projected release date in our internal database yet, but I would assume "sometime this year" (2025), which I realize is not all that helpful. Hopefully, it will be available to pre-order in the next month or two. Don't hold me to this as an ironclad promise, but from notes on the project, it will probably be priced at $19.99.
As for availability, anyone who wants to should be able to purchase it—just like any other study Bible—subscription or not.

Thanks, Rick. Will it include the library?

Here is the link that describes the TCRB with the 12 resources that constitute the library.

Also, Rick, please see Morris Proctor's video on the TCRB when it was offered by Logos. This video also includes the 12 resources in the library. Will the new TCRB include this library? Thanks.

I'm familiar with what we had in Logos when the Thompson Chain was available from Kirkbride. I have all of those resources in my own personal Logos library from back before I even worked here. I don't know the extent of what we will offer just yet. I assume that we will make available everything in the print edition from Zondervan/HarperCollins. I don't currently know more than this at the moment, though.

Hi, Rick. I just stumbled upon the link I am sending. It does not say Thompson Chain Reference Library but it implies it in the write-up below the Bible. Please let me know if it's just the Bible or the additional Library? For me the cost does not give any indication. Thanks.

@Clayton Desjarlais I don't know for certain, but I would assume that it contains everything in the print edition from Zondervan, minus the biblical text.

Thanks, for responding Rick. I suppose I could contact a sales rep for Logos and inquire myself.

I spoke with a product rep today and was told that he didn't know if the TCRB will have the library or not.
