Did I miss the drum roll on this? The top of the Pre-pub page certainly has something I would have expected to hear of, or is it that new??
You are not the only one who missed the drum roll.

We've been told it was coming - it just arrived ... but I can't get Snag-it to recognize I want to scroll the popup window so I've not gotten a close look at the resources included.
The info is hiding under the upgrade pop-up. [:D]
1. Reverse interlinears are not separate resources. They are integrated into the corresponding Bibles in your library.
2. License included with purchase. Files coming soon.
Do my Catholic brothers/sisters see this as excellent or simply closer to closing the gap between the Protestant and Catholic resources? Just curious. I would love to see something like this for Anabaptist theology, but understand the supply/demand rule.Just curious on your thoughts of the value versus what was previously available to your specific study and theology.Thanks.

Thanks for the list. Now I can finally look a bit closer.

For most of us on the forums, we already had a base package so the Catholic Library Builder was more interesting. I believe its intent was to bring us close to where we'd be if we'd had the option of a Catholic version initially. To my mind the new packages have two major appeals: (1) You received less material in your base package that you'll never have use for and (2) You have more of the basic material you'll actually use/want to use in your base package. This should make it much easier to sell Logos to Catholics. There are still two glaring holes in the packages: (1) no mention that the Bible People, Places, Things has been expanded to include the larger canon and (2) a dearth of contemporary Bible studies and commentaries. I know there are a couple in pre-pub and I suspect that Logos is negotiating for more.
However, there is a downside to having a packaged labeled "Catholic" - an implication that we are outsiders when, in fact, we are part of a much larger group -Catholic, Orthodox, Eastern, High Lutheran, Anglo-Catholic - what I abbreviate in my own notes as ACELO. I'd much prefer an "acelo" package. It does make sense to me, however, that Logos could produce library builder packages for a number of theological slants and give others a similar price break on a major purchase.
Thanks so much for your answer MJ. It was good at explaining your thoughts. I always appreciate your answers and patience for those of us who are trying to learn more as we go.
This is the first mention I've seen that Logos is going to be able to offer the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I wish they had included this as part of the Catholic Library Builder which I recently bought!
I am glad that Logos is moving in this area. Now for other faiths. (Publishers get on board. This train is not going to stop.) I am particulary interested in a New Testament Library builder. Or a Bible background/culture/history bullder.
Hopefully when Logos 5 comes out, they will expand their offerings to cater to particular disciplines. I will give up the new Platinum for a N. T. background/Theology collection any day.
