John Gill’s Commentary

Super Daniel! I've integrated into my L4 system! Looks great! I've waited a long time for this, since I lost the PBB's that I had with L3. Only problem is that I use my ipad almost exclusively for study. Hopefully soon they will fix this.

I changed the link to make it easier. 

Thank you!

How do you get a pbb commentary to open up in the passage guide with my other commentaries?

You compile it as a "Bible Commentary" instead of a monograph.

Dave said:

 Could someone simply add it as an attachment to a post?

Actually, after my whining, Daniel made his link more straight-forward.

One thing some of us have run into in posting directly to the forum is file size. I'm not sure what the limit is, but earlier this year I needed to post a bunch of fairly large docs. Some of them wouldn't post directly to the forum, so I wound up storing offsite and linking.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Daniel,

Obrigado pelas obras disponibilizadas em seu site. Sou um novo usuário do Logos 5 e estou formando minha biblioteca.

Deus o abençoe,

Clóvis

Thanks, for all.

God bless you.

Hi JDC:

Compile it as a Bible Commentary and it will show up in the passage guide.

JDC said:

Is there a difference between compiling as a commentary and compiling as a bible commentary?

Yes, there is, and I think that is your issue. I think the difference is that "Bible Commentary" as a Personal Book Type identifies strictly a commentary on a Bible book, passage, etc. A "Commentary" as a Personal Book Type would be used for commentaries on other materials, like the Westminster Confession, the London Baptist Confession, Aquinas, Augustine, etc. I hope others will correct this if my assumption is wrong and/or offer additional clarification.

But for the practical issue at hand, use "Bible Commentary" (and tag the passage citations) and your PB will be useful in a passage guide.

Wow. I see that now. Thanks for your help. I was getting frustrated with that and hoping it wasn't going to take changing all the milestones for every verse in the Bible or something. Now when I get a chance, I just need to figure out how to remove the bad one so I can recompile it.

Thank you very much.

Good, very nice, thanks very much.

All you need to do is edit the PB, make the changes and then re-compile the book.

Thank you very much. It worked perfectly.

Just DLed the file and Logos is currently converting it (though rather slowly)...thanks!

Has the commentary been moved?  The link doesn't work.

Hi Matt:

In case Daniel doesn't check the forum soon, and since I know you're probably eager to use his fine work on this, I have uploaded a copy to Dropbox.

Here's the link:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/50z77lbnq6x5pmz/Gill%20-%20Whiole.docx 

Thank you Robert; I appreciate your help.

I realize this is an old thread, but I tried to download the Gill notes, and the link isn't working.  Can anyone direct me to a current server?

Thanks,

Excellent.  Thank you for all your work.

Thanks again Robert M. Warren!

Thank You Brother

I appreciate your gratitude. I'll point out that the big Gill file was submitted by Daniel Gomes Silveira (see Page 1 this thread), who I believe did all the formatting and tagging work. I haven't seen him around the forums lately; I owe him much gratitude also. (I had actually done my own Gill files separately from some files I found at a Primitive Baptist web site, but Daniel's was much higher quality).

My poor, neglected blog does have a couple of useful posts (both linked in the bottom line of my signature). The first details my methods for converting Kindle files and PDFs, and the second one I posted after I got Word 2013 and it relates to converting PDFs in Word. I'll add a short word of advice about PDFs and the methods I described in the posts:  If pictures are more prominent in the PDF than footnotes, use the non-Word 2013 method from the original post. If footnotes are more prominent/critical, use Word 2013, as it will retain the functionality of live footnotes in a PDF.

I have removed this file from DropBox, since the Logos resource, Gill's Works, has now shipped. (I should have removed it earlier, but didn't think about it until I saw the real thing hit my library.)

Hi Dave:

I agree re: public domain books. I was just removing the link from here so I wouldn't interfere with Logos' marketing of a product on their forum.

If you're interested in having the docx, you can send me a message at my email (on my Faithlife profile page) I'll do another link and send it to you. (Yes, I know, it's still using their forum in a round about way.)
