Commentary Requests

Ryan Miller said:

Would it be possible to add the following commentaries

• Brazos Theological Commentaries published by Brazos Press
• Smyth and Helwys Bible Commentaries

Thank You

I'll second both of those requests. Judging from the sample pages, the Smyth & Helwys commentaries look to be much richer than the Cecil Sherman Formations Commentary, and I think would be useful for pastors. I was introduced to Smyth & Helwys "Adult Uniform Series" Bible Study materials through a Sunday School class taught by Jimmy Carter.

Brazos has volumes by some top-notch scholars like Jaroslav Pelikan and Stanley Hauerwas. I'd order it in a heartbeat if that series were available in Logos format.

Definitely yes! [Y] yes! [Y] yes! [Y] to Brazos Theological Commentary.

I'm not familiar with Smith and Helwys, but I'll check it out through the link.

The S&H commentaries look good.  From their home page it looks like they come with a CDRom.  True?

Yes, the included CD-Rom contains a PDF of the commentary.

The Brazos series is now in pre-pub and listed as "Under Development":

A priest friend of mine gives a hearty endorsement of these: "this new Brazos commentary line is stellar! They're written from a theological approach to the Scriptures, rather than a more text-critical approach, so they are less voluminous (chapters tend to be only 10-12 pages) and also infinitely more enjoyable to read straight through. Hence my usage of them for devotional reading."

That would be totally superfluous for the Logos edition. Don't need more CD-ROMs. Download only, please.

Superfluous indeed!  

BUMP!   Smyth and Helwys Bible Commentary Series.

This is an excellent series!!  I have 9 in the series already, but would prefer purchasing them from Logos and have them in my Logos library!!  The hard copy book with accompanying CD-ROM is a good combination but it doesn't match the functionality of Logos.

Faithlife obviously has a relationship with S&H considering the "Reading the Old Testament Commentary Series" and "Reading the New Testament Commentary Series" Logos now has for sale.  The "Reading" series are OK and I have them, but they are nowhere near the magnitude of the S&H Bible Commentary series.
