Convince me: Hermeneia/Continental Commentaries
Comments

I bit the bullet today, and put it on a 4-month payment plan (i.e., $20 in fees). From the few things I've looked at so far on my iPhone (esoteric stuff like The Apostolic Tradition and The Didache), this is going to be nice! There are actually 74 volumes - 55 Hermeneia + 19 Continental - because of the way some things like The Apostolic Tradition and Q (and GThomas from Q) are broken up.

I'm glad I did it as well. I am reading Collins' introduction to Daniel right now. The series seems to be very well organized which makes it easy to move through a volume. That is one thing that bothers me about WBC. There are so many subsections for a given passage that I feel like I need to look around a lot. Congratulations!

So you noticed that as well. Apparently the series was designed for print with little or no thought given to ebooks.

I agree completely. When I do a passage search I expect everything to open at the correct place. In WBC, I still have to search around after I have finished the initial search.
