Will theses be forthcoming, as they were in Logos 9 and 10?
I'm a bit hesitant to post this, because clearly the statement was made at a time when information was scarce and vague. But, as you can see from the comment below, it was indeed stated that Ultimate would be available for 2025 Libraries.
The Ultimate library is now available, http://logos.com/product/385210/2025-ultimate-library
Thanks, Aaron. I remembered Mark's statement, and was thus a bit disappointed when Ultimate didn't drop with the other January packages.
I feel like Logos always had more (better) resources on day 1 of the release date than day 2 or day 3 after the release date. I feel like they either removed resoures or swap the resources in the libraries they're selling due to the agreements with the publishers. So buying on day 1 is preferable than buying a week after.
I don't know exactly when they remove or exchange resources, but I remember my wishlist weren't matching, when I buy something, then I return it, then I rebuy something bigger. In between those time, I notice my wishlist changes in ownership. (as in I don't own ownership anymore after making a higher purchase changes)
So, waiting for Ultimate is a loss in better resources in my view, due to the changes Logos made without notifying us.
FYI…I called in to CS about this today and the agent was able to add the Ultimate package to my account. He said it was not live on the website yet. Interestingly, this Ultimate package doesn't include SDA (or Verbum, but I think that is normal?).
Good to know. Was any date mentioned for Ultimate going live?
Unfortunately, no. My napkin math suggests it’s about a 9% discount vs. cart total of the denomination packages.
Not really normal, no. However, if I understood my sales rep correctly (and he understood those he spoke with correctly also) once the rest of the Verbum-esk packages are ready we "should" see the full Verbum Ultimate release AND see it rolled into the regular Ultimate as well. (I believe that is why it is not yet posted as being for sale but I can not prove that.)
Why SDA is not included I don't know. I could not get an answer to that question.
Hi everyone, we will indeed have an Ultimate library. There is still a new library coming for the Verbum line (stay tuned). As soon as it is available we'll release the Ultimate version.
Glad to hear more Verbum packages are in the works.
@Mitch Snyder (Faithlife) - Will the new Verbum line be eligible for a 30% discount on the first library purchased once released?
Yes, we are aiming on having these out prior to any launch discounts ending.
Will we get prior notice of the end date for the launch discount?
Most definitely!
Mitch, do you have a definite timeline for availability? If so, please share it with the rest of the class.
Not at the moment, we are still finalizing a couple of things that will impact release date. I will confirm as soon as I know more.
Logos 8, 9, and 10 Ultimate Base Packages had SDA and Verbum so yes the packages will be in the 2025 Ultimate Base Package.
We've typically had two versions available. The one listed online has all of the content (I'm aiming to have this available yet this week) and one that does not include SDA or Verbum which is available through our Sales team. As we've been waiting for a new line of Researcher libraries for Verbum we have not been able to release the full version yet. But as I say, we're very close and we will have them out in time to take advantage of the current promotion.
I’m not sure this “Ultimate version” is worth it to be honest. Having a large library makes it kind of hard to justify spending money on an ultimate package with not so great quality resources.

Wow, pretty tight on Verbum Researchers:
Thanks, Mitch.
@Mitch Snyder (Faithlife) - Are there any updates on the timeline for the Verbum Researcher libraries (and Verbum Ultimate)?
If they arrive after the 30% discount expires, are there plans to make available a similar 30% first-buy promotion for those libraries?
Thanks for any updates you can provide!
@Kevin Clemens This link should show you the four Verbum Researcher options.
Thank you, @Mitch Snyder (Faithlife) - I appreciate the prompt response!
Well, we're only 2 days away from the 30%'s death. But looking at the Verbum Researcher, meh. The earlier Orthodox Platinum sort of fell-flat too. Either Logos/Verbum doesn't have much more to buy (I'm only a 6K'er, embarrassingly), or 'oh wow' packaging is pretty much done. AI is their middle name now.
In my excitement of seeing NICNT titles come up on sale, I took the opportunity to purchase a few books to add to my collection. In my haste I purchased the Leon Morris 1995 edition of the Gospel of John and the J Ramsey Michaels 2010 edition of the Gospel of John. Should I keep both? Has the scholarship advanced enough…
I've purchased the new hardcover from Logos and also have the digital edition in Logos. Audible has just released the Audiobook for the new expanded edition. I'd much prefer to have it in Logos than Audible, but if Logos isn't carrying it, then I'll buy the audio from Audible instead. I can wait a few days to get it from…
On October 7 I made the following post asking when the Audio version of the Expanded Unseen Realm would be available in Logos since it was already available on audible. @Matt Bennett replied it would be about 2 weeks. It's now been 5 weeks and no sign of the audible version on the Logos website. To add to my frustration,…
I purchased the Tyndale 20 volume NT commentary which was included in one of my library collections over the past month, but I received received a recommendation from Logos shortly after that the 1 Peter commentary volume needed to be purchased because it was the only commentary of the 20 volume set that I did not own.…
Does Logos offer Greek training material for the Textus Receptus?
