I wonder what it will be tonight. Only a few hours to the big unveil!!!
I heard it is that new book by Zondervan, "What would Jeuss do about healthcare?"
dude, it's KILLIN' me that the "new day" is based on PST . . . . I am ET! I'm. losing. sleep!
Jeuss? Is that a Jewish OJ Simpson?
no no, I know: the he's the god of Thunder?
Well, I'm 0 and 6 at the moment. One of the problems for being a longtime user with a huge library. I wonder how many others like me are in the same boat and wondering if their long term support of Logos has turned into a liability. Still, there's 6 days left, so there's still hope. Even if there turns out to be nothing for us, I'm grateful for all the resources made available and God's supply to get them before now.
I wanted to get the Day 4 Special "Dictionary for Theological Interpretation of the Bible " but I was indexing my mac Alpha and was afraid that if I bought something during the indexing something bad would happen. By the time indexing was done, the special was over. Oh well, it is still fun to window shop the deals :-)
lol, Alex. I did take advantage of Anchor Yale (probably my last purchase of the year), can't believe I haven't added that yet. I do own the other "biggie" choices. Except for the stainless steel mug . . . thought long and hard about that, but passed.
How about A/Y commentary set for 250?
I thought that was Gene Simmons. (You tellin' me it's OJ?)
i am sorry i have led to the degeneration of this thread. please don't let Richard D see it. Clearly mark it off with OFF TOPIC bright yellow tape . . .
Nothing against the WBC special, but it would be nice to see a special on one something in Hermenia, ICC or even Anchor. The trouble is, it would just tease me because I have spent more than I planned this year on wish list items. (anyone remember NICOT/NICNT on prepub?)
Jeuss? Is that a Jewish OJ Simpson? no no, I know: the he's the god of Thunder?
No, it's a Jewish Dr. Seuss.
Same here. So far I would have wanted Dictionary for Theological Interpretation of the Bible, which was Day 4, but I had just bought it on Dec 10, two days prior! If only I'd waited. I don't think I'd really clued in to the "12 Days of Logos" yet by Day 2. I also already owned WBC which came up as Day 6 today. I'm trying as hard as I can to sit on my hands whenever the urge to buy something else comes over me, until the next 6 days are past. But I'm so impulsive, and it's so easy to click and buy, so it's hard.

Yes Donovan, I'd love to see one of those BIG THREE on a super-special. But it would have to offer a payment plan and I'd still have to cancel one of my ISPs to afford it. It's nice to dream though, isn't it?
Now that is classic!
I wanted to get the Day 4 Special "Dictionary for Theological Interpretation of the Bible " but ...
You missed a good resource, there, Joe.
Lots of good, up-to-date hermeneutical articles and surveys of Bible books in the DTIB.
Just to make you feel better about it. :-(
THERE! I waited up to see it! I OWN IT! (already) and it gave me the chance to be reminded of that and I am going to use it for my sermon this Sunday!
That's a pretty good endorsement from N T Wright: "...solid scholarship made easily accessible..."
Ah, well, this one won't break the bank. :-0
W00T! I just bought it. My first 12DAYS special. I'm giddy with joy to the world... ;-)
Sigh. Another one I have to watch as it passes by, but must not touch.
I'm hoping for a Commentary offering of some kind. Oh!! the old 50% off ANY download offering whew--hoo!!
I'm hoping that the Pillar Commentary series might be included, but should I thank God, Santa or Logos? - Or probably all three!!! [:D]

Nah, since Nicholas of Myra Died on Dec 6, 343 he can't hear your gratitude.
Don't you believe in Father Christmas Thomas? Shame! [;)]

SinceI didn't buy NICOT/NT, I think making Moo's Romans available as anindividual resource for sale would be a wonderful Christmas present.

Are you sure about that? It is a highly inflammatory theological statement you know. [:D]

Well technically, I hope that he is alive - but his body stopped working a long time ago.

I promise not to tell Virginia. [:#]

But if you live in Seattle, the Atheists have a message for her on over 100 busses this Christmas season...

ICC definitely, since I have the others. I don't want to get left out.
Christmas special or not, hopefully we will see individual volumes of NICOT/NT available in due season.
I know about Christmas season and Lent and Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter. But I wonder when "due season" is? Is it kind of like deer season? Or is it when the dew drops? :-)
I'd vote for individual volumes of NICOT/NT as well, but I already have the whole set.
"What would Jeuss do about healthcare?"
Again, if I were wise I wouldn't say it but "extend His office hours" is so obviously the answer.[:D][:#]
In another thread it was mentioned that NICOT/NT will not be available for individual book purchase.
That's why it would be a magical Christmas surprise.
But I wonder when "due season" is? Is it kind of like deer season?
aren't those little female deer? or would they be slightly moist little female deer?
I thought it was when the after-Christmas bills came 'due"?

Ah, there's no God, but there's a Santa Claus. [8-|]

Ah, you mean "Due, a deer, a female deer..."? Oh dear, I think this is getting too silly. Belongs in the "hijack this thread" thread. ;-)

I will just never understand the "logic" of the atheists. If I did't believe in God I sure would not waste my time evangelizing against Him. It's like boxing the air.
Psalm 2:1 - 12
I think it's because they are in the minority and feel oppressed by the cultural support of belief in God. I don't believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and Pastafarianism is a fringe religion which doesn't get in my face at all, so I don't bother evangelizing against it. But if 80% of the people around me believed in him and were trying to get me to support prayers to him in school and such, I might get a bit more ruffled about it. Just trying to empathize.
If I did't believe in God I sure would not waste my time evangelizing against Him.
Just imagine the reality of atheist evangelism:
Atheist: Good news! Everything is completely meaningless including your life! Yippee, isn't that great?!
Um. No.

I don't think making fun of them or caricaturing them is very winsome (not that any of them are likely to be reading this forum; but we do need to be careful to practice the attitude we should have when conversing with them even when they are not watching). I think most atheists are truly honest in their quest for making sense of the universe and life as they see it. They find meaning in other ways (through the enjoyment of friends and family and sports and self-improvement, or volunteeering for projects to try make the world a better place). We might find all of that empty and pointless without God, but they don't. As for the ones who really think everything is meaningless, they do struggle with angst about that. They're not excited about meaninglessness, just sober and intellectually honest. Or if they are intellectually dishonest (in denial about reality), it's a moral struggle for them. Either they don't want to believe in God because of the implications of it for their own lives -- they think they'd have to give up something they love. Or else (and this is what should concern is), it's because they've known Christians who have been obnoxious or bad role models to them of what it means to follow Christ. Now I'm not an atheist myself, but I can understand how one might find it the most sensible approach to the puzzling things about the world and the surest defense against insanity. So I don't think it's fair to caricature the atheist as you have.
... and I don't understand why some get so upset about these kinds of adds. Why don't we just ask for equal time and post our own adds, like "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God'" and post them along side.
The FOOL has said in his heart, there is no God. I think scripture is "making fun" here.
Do you think it's any wonder that atheists don't want to become Christians when they see us as being snarky, smug, and self-righteous? Jesus looks at them and weeps over them, loves them, sees them as being redeemable and longs for them to come to him. Why do we have to go around finding Bible verses to bash them with? Sure, there are plenty that could be used that way. But it's bad for our own souls let alone those of prospective disciples we might win to Christ if we go around gloating over those who don't know God (yet). Even if we believe that some are predestined to eternal damnation, we don't have the privilege of knowing who those are in advance. We must approach all atheists as if they were possibly destined for the kingdom, and help them enter in rather than keeping them away. Yes, I know, if you believe the ones predestined to find Christ will find him anyway regardless of how we behave towards them, then I suppose it doesn't matter; but we might as well not make their way more difficult than it needs to be. Remember: there but for the grace of God go we. We must act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. (Micah 6:8.) Let us not take away the key to knowledge or hinder others from entering the kingdom. (Luke 11:52)

Sorry I over reacted Rosie. I think this verse sums it up for both of us.
Eph. 4:14
but 1speaking the truth ain love, 2we are to bgrow up in all aspects into Him who is the chead, even Christ,

Another that has come across my eyes is this:
24 And the Lord’s servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25 Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will. The Holy Bible : New International Version. 1996 (electronic ed.). Grand Rapids: Zondervan.
Kind of sobering. And I do agree with Rosie's overall approach to this. There is a lot in our culture as well as our Christian subculture that eggs us on to be a bit dismissive and reactionary, I just don't see Jesus acting that way . . . unless it is with the Religious Leaders . . .
Much I have yet to learn---errr, put into practice.

I don't make fun of them that is not my place. It is rather sobering to see God laughing at them.
"He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision. - Psalm 2:4
No worries. I can get pretty passionate about this subject at times, perhaps overly so.
