This is a chart on "The Pentateuch" that is missing in this Bible Commentary. This is how the chart looks in LOGOS.

And this is how it looks in the Hardback Copy.

Just in case you are wondering, I do have the Hardback Copy of this commentary. Can you please fix this. Thank you and it is much appreciated.

    Tables seem to be the bane of Logos' programmers.

    Be careful. Logos will create a nonexistent revised edition and try to sell it to us like the MNTC that still isn’t fixed.

    @Kenute P. Curry and @Mattillo Thanks for your reports. As I also picked up this resource in the sale, I have interest in having errors noted and addressed. Like Mattillo, I found the chart to be present, but it requires adequate space in the tab to be displayed. So Kenute, you must close the Contents window, adjust the tab size or float the window to view the chart.

    Thank you so much Beloved Amodeo I expanded the window and i found the chart to be present. That is a relief. Let's just pray that Logos will address the errors and fix them, Again, thank you.

    Well, I was hoping to not find any other verses missing in this commentary, but I did. Matthew 28:19-20. This is how it is in Logos:

    This how it is in the hardback copy:

    At this point, I would be suspicious that your hardcopy is not the same edition as the Logos edition - it would imply that the publisher sent Logos the wrong electronic file.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I just checked, both the hardcopy and the Logos edition = Year 2005.

    Even the MacArthur Study Bible NKJV [Year 1997]contains these verses….

    As MJ mentioned: "it would imply that the publisher sent Logos the wrong electronic file."

    I know I'm bringing pessimism but here we go again… the same issue happened with the Macarthur New Testament Commentary. Kenute showed both Matthew and Hebrew (and I'm guessing many others) are missing content. Logos will say well that is what we have and the publisher made changes behind the scenes. Instead of someone from Faithlife reaching out to Moody or TN in this case, they will most likely ignore this and if we are "lucky" they will create a revised edition and charge us again for it. This has nothing to do with Kyle, let me make that clear as he is awesome, but this goes beyond him to the top. We now have a "revised" MNTC Matthew that has been in PrePub for a length of time with no publication date that I've seen. Also, people have to spend another $50-something dollars to obtain it.

    The sad fact is, I cannot trust my digital MacArthur resources, as we now have at least 3 known resources with missing text.

    @Kenute P. Curry I haven't checked all of the verses above but I have noticed that some of the "missing" text can be found in Logos' MacArthur Study Bible NASB. If you have that resource, you can check it to see if it is there as well.

    Let us hope they create a MacArthur Study Bible 2nd edition and get it right…

    There is something missing right to the bottom of this chart "The Herodian Rulers" - the * shows it. Page 1281. This is the Logos Version:

    This is the Hardback copy that I have:

    @Kenute P. Curry You are reading closely and that is good, but in this case I judge you are too critical. If you hover or click the "*" the information found at the foot of the table is presented. Upon click you are able to access the hyperlinks.

    This Chart/table - The Way of Love - 1 Corinthians 13 is not complete - Page 1599. I have expanded the window pane and floated the window pane, but the last three lines are missing. It is complete in Nelson's Complete Book of Bible Maps & Charts, but not in this resource. This is how it is in Logos:

    1 Corinthians 13 1 (1).jpg

    This how it is in the hardback copy:

    @Kenute P. Curry I want you to know that I appreciate your care in combing through this resource for apparent errors. I can't accomplish this task myself, as I do not have a hard copy. Although, the product doesn't possess the same appeal of the original, all the text and attributions are present. I even think I have identified the reasoning behind altering the display. I think it was done so that "Holy Spirit" could be tagged. Maybe!?

    Thank you Beloved Amodeo for pointing this out to me. I did not see this, so I now have it highlighted. Everything that I have highlighted in my hardback copy, I am highlighting in the Logos version. That is the reason that I am coming across all of these errors. I do appreciate all of the help that you have given to me. Thank you so much.

    @Kenute P. Curry It gives me great joy that you approve my help. It recalls two places in scripture: 1 Cor 3.6 and Prov 27.17. Continue your good work!

    This error is in the Chart/Table "The Whole Armor of God (Eph. 6:13-17)" - Page 1707. The error is very clear -"List1." should be "truthfulness."

    this is a resource bug/typo and should be reported as such in the resource.
