Hi, does any one know if Logos carries the following products or am I forced to buy them somewhere else?
Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions on CD-ROM
The Lutheran Study Bible on CD-ROM
I would like to buy them directly from Logos if possible.

http://www.logos.com/product/8832/the-book-of-concord while not the product you are asking about, this might be as close as you can get directly from Logos. The Book of Concord contains all early confessional materials of the Lutheran faith.

As Dan said, this version of the Book of Concord contains contains all early confessional materials of the Lutheran faith. Concordia Publishers does not list the contents of their version, and this gets me wondering why. This comes from the fact that Concordia is known to add things to the Book of Concord that fits their theological viewpoint. This is fine if you are part of LCMS (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod) in the U.S. If you are part of the LCMS, then I would recommend purchasing these books from them. If you are not part of the LCMS, I would recommend purchasing the Logos version.
If you are not part of the LCMS, I would recommend purchasing the Logos version.
Thanks for the advice!
I am not from either Synod ([:'(])
I bought the Luther collections some time back and it has the Book of Concord, Tappert Edition.
Found this hidden page on the logos site. http://www.logos.com/lutheran The page last updated on 2/2/2011.
It says that I can buy the LSB from Logos (check out the page and the link youself) but then it says it is no longer sold through Logos.
In fact most of the links are bad.
Looks like Logos changed horses in the middle of the race, or at least since Feb 20011.
I have confirmed that the only thing on it is B C , and am not overly impressed to learn it is not even a fresh translation. But a simple updating of the Triglota, the above work i mentioned is a translation done in co operation between LCMS and ELCA, the Triglota was replaced in the 50s by Tappert as the standard translation. Concordia does apparently have study notes on the text, but the AF edition has good intros and numerous footnotes too.
Logos no longer sells any CD based products, some companies prefer physical distribution only. So for the ones who insist you have a CD/DVD physically delivered you must purchase from them. I believe this was the reason behind Logos no longer selling Ancient Christian Commentary from IVP, late in the spring numerous items disappeared from the logos web page and when one inquired about them we were told physical 3rd party items were being removed, and most would be back in downloadable format in a few weeks. Obviously some publishers wished to have their products( or at least some of them) exclusively distributed on physical media.

PS:Since you are not LCMS the AF one is a better translation,I wash;t going to say anything but the Concordia is sort of the NKJV of translations. Has it;s fans but holds very tightly to tradition of the triglotia translation.

Blessings and Peace to you, Tom! *smile*
That, my friend, is a very scathing comment and criticism. A very shocking criticism, indeed!
You made the statement, Tom; do you have a --- for instance! --- example to verify even in the slightest what you have said?
2 Thessalonians 3.16
Milford, yes I have seen a couple of print examples. The examples that I have seen are related to Luther's small catechism. This process is not something new; it has been happening for hundred of years within Lutheranism. This tradition is not bad, but it is good (very good if you ask me). Still, this additional information is not part of Lutheran confessions.
Thanks, Tom, very much for your reply! *smile* I appreciate it! I have several Book of Concord's in my Logos resources and will check it out personally as I have opportunity.
You have shown me where to look, Number 1.
You have assured me that this is not "bad" -- but -- "good"! Number 2
.... even very good! *smile* I am grateful!
Romans 14:19
I think, Tom probably refers to the section on Confession (Roman numeral V in the small catechism, which is printed in every edition I know of and is footnoted as not belonging to the original (as was compiled into the 1580 book of concord). see eg. the footnote in http://bookofconcord.org/smallcatechism.php#confession

The AF version has it as well by in italics, with a footnote: In 1531 par. 15–29 replaced the earlier Short Order of Confession (1529) (WA 30/1: 343–45; LW 53:116–18), which was found in one Latin version of the Small Catechism from 1529 in this spot and in one German version of the Small Catechism from 1529, following the Baptismal Booklet. In 1532 Luther defended this addition and the use of private confession among Evangelicals in a letter to the town council and congregation in Frankfurt, in “An Open Letter to Those in Frankfurt on the Main, 1533,” trans. John D. Vieker, Concordia Journal 16 (1990): 333–51 (= WA 30/3: 565–71).
