Brand-New: D.A. Carson / Tim Keller "The Gospel as Center"

Yesterday, Roger Olson started a new series in his blog, discussing the new book "The Gospel as Center" http://www.patheos.com/blogs/rogereolson/2012/03/part-1-of-a-new-series-responses-to-the-gospel-as-center-by-members-of-the-gospel-coalition Olson intends to go through all of the fourteen chapters of the book one by one.

This may become an interesting read - and everyone may read along in their own copy of "the Gopsel as Center" - but wait: The 2012 Crossway book consists of 14 booklets that serve as explanations to The Gospel Coalition's ( see http://www.thegospelcoalition.org ) Foundation document, also included.

Since all of the booklets are available in Vyrso http://vyrso.com/products/search?q=the+gospel+coalition&Author=Keller%2c+Timothy and the Foundation in Logos http://www.logos.com/product/5163/gospel-coalition-foundation-documents , I acquired all of this in the past!

This PB "recreates" the book by linking its parts from the TOC - I choose to link to the booklets' contents pages for mouse-over.

I read the article you linked to and found it worthwhile. Thanks.

I built your book, but found that it links to Vysro resources I don't have and don't want to buy so your book isn't useful for me, but thanks anyway.

Thanks for putting this together. Much appreciated. Nice way to make use of these resources. Might be interesting to put Olsen's Article's together in a PBB when all done so they can be read alongside the resources for a comparative study.

You are welcome.

Yes, I thought I made this clear. These resources are available for small fee in Vyrso (well, it accumulates if one buys all of them).

EDITED: It seems, TGC not only sell them in paper (see http://thegospelcoalition.org/tgcbooklets ) but make some or all available as PDFs - at least I got

http://tgc-documents.s3.amazonaws.com/booklets/The_Gospel_and_Scripture_How_to_Read_the_Bible.pdf (by googling the title)
http://tgc-documents.s3.amazonaws.com/booklets/Sin_and_the_Fall.pdf (by guessing the filename)
http://tgc-documents.s3.amazonaws.com/booklets/Can_We_Know_the_Truth.pdf (same - be aware of capitalization)

so you may change the docx to link these.

Yes [H] . Actually that's what I'm doing with a second version of the docx... but I'm not much into crosslinking etc, so I have to scroll manually or use Ctrl-F to locate the text-snippets Olson uses to anchor his review.

Since all of the booklets are available in Vyrso

Too bad Vyrso is 65% higher than Amazon. The total price for all 14 booklets in Vyrso comes to $20.43 (with tax) compared to Amazon's price of $12.41 for the book which includes all the articles. I never post complaints about Logos' high prices because people almost always defend the higher prices on the forums.

Hopefully Logos can at least be competitive with the market and offer a bundled discount on all 14 booklets.

They ran a sale at Christmas of last year on these at a nice discount. Logos is good at having regular sales, it just requires patience.

But you are comparing apples to oranges here - the individual booklets are cheaper in Vyrso than in Amazon's Kindle store, I think (just spot-checked one: "What is the gospel: $1.49 vs $2.07). And when Crossway publishes the book through Vyrso (imho a when, rather than an if), it won't have a $20 price tag. But by all means, buy it today in Amazon - I really like their business, have spend hundreds of dollars there.

That said - you may as well be able to just grab booklets for free in PDF form, read them as if they were Kindle books and with a bit of effort you may make your own booklets in Logos. I shared my PB since I believed there might be others who bought the stuff last year when they were published or with the bundled sale that occured somewhen - and who now find they can save on buying "the latest Carson" since they have it already.

All fourteen booklets are available as pdfs by entering the following into a Google search:

Gospel site:http://tgc-documents.s3.amazonaws.com/booklets/

NB You will need to copy the whole line into a Google search, not just click on the link.

In addition you may wish to take account of these updates to the Foundation Documents:

http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/tgc/2011/08/05/two-changes-bring-further-clarity-to-tgcs-foundation-documents/

An updated pdf of the Foundation Documents (in English) is linked from that page. The copy of the Foundation Documents available from Logos does not have these updates but I have reported them as typos.
