The medium bundle, is it critical?
bump! My question has passed unnoticed. So, is the medium NT topical bundle critical or not?
Unix, can you provide a link. Cannot find the packages.
New Testament Studies Bundle, M (11 vols.)
Unix edit your post and remove the word community and the period before the url.
Should be this: http://www.logos.com/product/28225/new-testament-studies-bundle-m
I think you are getting a good deal for the price. Not sure which ones I have. I along with others have been asking for this sort of bundling for some time. Glad that it is in place. Unfortunately, no money to buy any of them.
Unix, I am not sure how you are using the word "critical." Are you referring to the way the authors exam scripture (using text critical, narrative critical, .... approaches)? Or are you using the word "critical" as needing the works in your library?
I just tought that someone has read/glanced all these books. I can't possibly be personally familiar, in advance, with every book issued - what has that got to do with it?
For your purposes, the books are not critical. If you don't know if you need a book, you probably shouldn't buy it.
I didn't mean in that sense, that's up to me to decide after someone has reviewed them to me:
Or are you using the word "critical" as needing the works in your library?
I know from other posts that you often do searches for reviews of books, so why not just go to amazon.com and search the books for reviews. This would seem much more fruitful, and then you can make up your own mind.
I would also ask about your use of the word critical. Do you mean do they delve deeply into the subjects, or do you mean that they are coming from a "liberal" perspective. Why would they be of no use in seminary if they are not "liberal." I attended a highly conservative Baptist seminary, and I was expected to study all perspectives.
As long as the books are scholarly written, then what difference does it make?
bookreviews.org from the SBL is also a great place to get scholarly reviews.
