I am quite disappointed that the Kevin one is not designed to be added to dashboard as a devotional, as that is how it was designed, but not the logos version.
Logos dashboard is designed for calendar devotionals. This resources is simply divided into 365 parts to start anytime. It would be worth seeing if it divides correctly in a 365 day reading plan starting on day 1 rather than page 1

@MJ. Smith can you help me with advice on how to make it a year reading plan on the days.

At 3 AM my time, expect a slow response 😎
Remember this method depends upon the book. If each entry is about the same length and starts a new page, you usually get excellent results. If the entries vary wildly in length it won't work.
- Use the Documents menu to create a new reading plan document
- Set the range to start on the first entry (12) skipping all the introductory material.
- Set the range to end on the last page of the final entry (407) skipping all the final materials
- Set the book tile
- Set the start date
- Generate the plan and see if it is useful.

Jonathan's recommendation is on sale from today until the end of December.

@Paul Caneparo thank you, I see that Herman Bavnick is also on sale 50%, wonder if I must get that one also.

@MJ. Smith Thank you, its not successful with pages some sections are cut off. Think I will just return it, and just do a large systematic every year.

@Lukas I haven't read Bavnick, but you might like to consider this Legacy Library which includes the abridged edition of the 4 volume set. The Legacy Library even at full price (without any dynamic pricing) is cheaper than buying the resource on its own.

I wish I could have gotten it for that price!

I'm sorry, but this is a terrible book. Someone picking this as their first systematic theology to read might be put off the subject completely.

What are your concerns, Sean?

I let a review on the product page when I read it 9 years ago as a Logos Now preview. I see it is on sale now, but I wouldn't pay $5 for it.

I'll go rite now to the review. Thank you.

I can't comment on the RC Sproul book, but a very good modern, evangelical introduction to systematic theology is Michael Bird's "What Christians ought to Believe". Sadly Logos only seem to have it in video format at present. I bought it in Kindle when on sale and it's very good.

These two are nice and doable in a busy schedule:

does anyone know how often the Herman Bavnick goes on sale as its currently on sale, I would like to build my Systematic Library and work through one every year.

Daily Doctrine is designed to be read 5 days a week, 260 days a year.
It's a nice very concise Systematic Theology.
"…this is not a textbook per se, and it is certainly not as long or as learned or as sophisticated as the classic systematic works out there. It is also not as in-depth and intellectually conversant as the many fine doctrinal magnum opuses still being written. But for me, this is just the book I wanted to write (at least for now)". DeYoung, Kevin. 2024. Daily Doctrine: A One-Year Guide to Systematic Theology. Wheaton, IL: Crossway.
I listen to a recording of it as I walk, then spend some time researching topics and sources referred to that piqued my interest.

Don’t forget to check if it’s in a collection that, based on your dynamic pricing, may be cheaper than the book itself. I got mine from a legacy library.

The Herman Bavinck 4 volume edition doesn't seem to be in Legacy Library, but the one volume is.

Awesome news. Thank you.

Thanks for clarifying. I should've specified which Bavinck I was referring to, and it was a Logos 10 library, not legacy (I picked up so many legacy libraries this year, it's all starting to get muddled in my mind).

This is Bavinck's 4-Volume set (It's titled Reformed Dogmatics.)

Bavinck also wrote a 4-Volume 'Reformed Ethics' to complement his systematic theology (or 'Dogmatics'). It's available as a Pre-Order from Logos.
