    Thanks! That was just what I was looking for. The timeline shows almost completed and yes I did preorder because of a significant discount was offered if I did. But, as you can see on the preorder the green line is at the end showing "in production" so hopefully it won't be much longer before they have it ready for the software.

    Update: I'm not certain what happened, but I believe the "in production" status last year was in error. However, the SAAS is very close to being completely funded. It merely needs the love of a few more pre-orders to get underway.

    Pre-order here.

    I say all this selfishly because I want it in Logos myself 😉

    @Todd Sumrall you might find it helpful to know that for pre-pub orders you are not charged until the resource ships:

    I've decided to translate the LXX myself. I am currently translating the :

    Septuaginta, hg. v. Alfred Rahlfs, zweite, verbesserte Auflage, hg. v. Robert Hanhart, © 2006 Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, Stuttgart

    I have finished Genesis. Because of my age, 60, I do not expect to complete it in my lifetime, but I will do as much as possible because I love the LXX and it is my Old Testament of choice. I am currently organizing my translation notes for Genesis and expect to complete them in about a month or so, and then I will start the translation of Exodus. I am also creating eSword modules for the translation and the translation notes/commentary. My goal is to give my work to the eSword bible software community at biblesupport.com or possibly directly to Rick Meyers, creator of eSword.

    I will say this about translating, it is an eye-opener that is for sure. You are forced to think! There is a specific promise when you think hard on God's word, 2 Timothy 2:7 "Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything". What Paul has written and says, is the word of God. The promise that goes with thinking extends not only to his writings, but to the entirety of the word of God. The promise is that God will give understanding in everything as he sees fit. I have found that promise to be true. I will never view Genesis the same way ever again. Everything has changed!

    Because of this change in understanding, in my other Bible studies I do, no matter which Testament, I translate the text before I even start the study, and when listening to other preachers discuss passages that are about what I am studying, I translate those passages too.
