Who has an opinion to share about the 1 volume NIV Application Commentary?
It ranks dead last on this list:

But that may be because it is new. And somehow Matthew Henry made number 1? Sure wouldn’t have been my choice …
Honestly it depends on what kind of commentary you want. For me personally I don’t place much value in writings that try to find a personal application for each verse. I want a commentary that discusses important topics about the passage and the language. I will make my own personal application.
I have the single volume NIVAC in my library because I decided not to buy the full set. When individual volumes were on sale i grabbed them though 😎

I personally like it. It gets to the application faster and the explanation is great for quick reference and devotional reading.
I recently bought it and it's an excellent resource in my opinion, especially for anyone that can't afford the pricy full range. It's great at summarizing the whole range with only the critical information you need to know. I would still buy the set as well if I can.
I was also seeking a review of NIVAC considering I already have a number of Critical to Application Commentary sets. I have decided that I will purchase a book or two at a time when they are deeply discounted but not purchase the set all at once.
Buy it if you can. I paid $29.99 prepub and now it’s $10 cheaper!
I have enjoyed many of the Logos courses I have taken, but one thing that has concerned me is that it seemed many of them are becoming outdated - not that the content is outdated, but in that many of the books in the suggested reading are no longer available in Logos, or the reading might be from the 1st edition and now…
I have a few study bibles I use and love. MacArthur, ESV, Reformation, etc…. I love seeing notes for each verse that explain the verse from their perspective. Is there a similar resource that shows the same things but from the Catholic perspective? I've searched and found bibles with footnotes and Bibles with articles but…
Has anyone created a personal book yet of Pope Francis' final encyclical Dilexit Nos? I think it may be ten years before Logos catches up with Francis' works and am wondering if someone else has saved us the effort.
As far as I know it has never been on sale. Its main competitor, Anchor Bible Dictionary is cheaper and even included in libraries. Meanwhile NIDB remains very expensive and unaffordable. I wonder how well it actually sells. Time to approach Abingdon to negotiate a deal on this title?
2 questions. Does Logos or anyone know of or have a Modern Greek Translation recommendation? Does Logos or anyone know of or have a Modern Greek Translation with a NT Greek Interlinear I am taking a modern Greek class and think it would be interesting to have.
