Where Is Hasting's Dictionary of the Bible (5 vols)?

Hasting's Dictionary of the Bible (5 vols.) was supposed to have been released today:

It was pushed back into development a few days ago, and I have not seen a post as yet flagging any reasons why. Any ideas?

The main reason this will sometimes happen is that they've found some major problem in the resource that is going to take more than a couple of hours to fix. They don't usually tell us what the issue is. If it were just a matter of a quick fix, they'd do that and then let the resource slip a day or two (which generally gets users pretty upset anyway). But if it's going to take longer, they'll pull it back into Under Development and remove the estimated release date. It can sometimes be a problem with the publisher and contract re-negotiations, but in this case that is obviously not the problem since it's a public domain work.

They've done this with various resources recently.

And that's exactly what a Logos employee confirmed in this thread.

Thanks, Paul. I remembered seeing a post from Kent along those lines recently about some resource, but didn't realize it was this one, and didn't bother going back to search.

Anyone interested in this set should also have their bid in before noon PST today for Hastings' Dictionary of Christ and the Gospels

Whatever happened to Hasting's Dictionary of the Bible? http://www.logos.com/product/6374/a-dictionary-of-the-bible

It's been more than a year from when this resource should have shipped.

Please Logos press the ship button, some of us have been waiting patiently for this resource. More than a years wait, it is now over due. Patience has already run it's course.

Ouch! How in the world did I miss on this one??!! I was confident that I put a bid. I might have deleted it by mistake when I revisited my orders page a month ago and purged it of unnecessary orders. Excuse me, I'm off to hit the wall with my forehead.

No ship date for Hasting's Dictionary of the Bible? I hope it has not been forgotten with the many Pre-Pub Logos is putting out. Hasting's Dictionary is long overdue for shipping, the question is - will it ship this YEAR.
