New Jerome Biblical Commentary/New Jerome Bible Handbook

Agreed! They have been asked for many times sadly.

I have the Jerome Biblical Commentary too from the old days, but this is different - The New Jerome Biblical Commentary is a very substantial rewrite and I am pretty sure without looking that it's a new editorial team.I have it in hard copy and it's much different.

The Jerome Biblical Commentary was available in the L2 days, which is how I got it (I found an old L2 library about 2 years ago on ebay).  I don't think it was ever available in L3 or later releases.  It must be a licensing issue.

This may be off-topic, but how does that work buying a used version of a previous iteration of Logos? There are some titles like the Jerome Biblical Commentary that I'd like to have and am wondering if that would be a good way to obtain it.

This thread explains my situation:

I don't think that it is possible to sync from L3 any longer, so you would need to send the license file to Logos to unlock the books for you.  As far as getting an old version, you just have to keep an eye out on ebay or the like.

The NJBC is on the Book Suggestions UserVoice.

• The New Jerome Biblical Commentary (3rd ed)

I realize the Prentice Hall in the past has been objectionable to having their book in Logos format but I have to believe saner heads are there now (when I say that I mean that Digital copies are just as important if not more so than paper copies in 2016, indeed I have 2nd edition but will not even think of getting the 3rd edition till it can be purchased in an electronic format).

I have this version it was dramatically written under Raymond Brown's editor leadership, like about 80% rewritten. The two versions look nothing alike.

I would agree but still find the 1968 Jerome Biblical Commentary valuable.

Yep, I knew it was the older version - I still see it as a valuable resource to have (I have the hardcover version of the New Jerome Biblical Commentary).

Just a bit of an update, for those who think they might want the old version and looking to get it on eBay, there are a few more steps involved in getting it "unlocked" on the newer versions of Logos/Verbum.

1) The Serial Number/Registration code is not in the actual box - you have to install the software first.  Which means you need to have, or have access to, a machine running windows 95 or XP - fortunately, our school had a laptop that we could run in XP mode on and it worked.

2) Once installed, you then need to follow these steps to extract the LSB File: https://www.logos.com/about-lls  and send that into Logos Customer Care.  They will use that to then unlock the books in that edition.

I just wanted to make sure people were aware of this as I had assumed that the code would be in the box with the discs - I wasn't anticipating needing to install it, and was fortunate (after panicking that I wasted a bunch of $$) that I could find a machine to have it installed on.

Thanks for sharing. I've never been able to find it on eBay when I've looked. It would be nice to get the old Jerome.

Same thing here at amazon- Catholic Scholar's Pack since you never know when one might pop up.

You might want to add it as a watchlist on eBay so you get notified when one gets listed

I'll have to figure out how to do that. I don't use eBay that much, so I'm not familiar with the helpful tools. Getting the Jerome Biblical Commentary and the NAB would be nice.

Thanks, Chris! That does help!

Christmas Ideas! Catholic Bible Software by Logos

by JESSERAY on DECEMBER 9, 2011

Most of you already know that I use Logos Bible Study software every day! There is nothing to compare with it. I have used it since 1990, never believing it would be as user friendly and powerful as it is today.

And now they have three new products worthy of the name “Catholic.”

There are three packages, each loaded with Catholic Bibles, resources — including the Vatican Councils, Fathers of the Church, commentaries and much more.

Catholic Foundations is the most affordable and the Scholar’s pack is for serious study. Scripture Study is middle of the road and geared toward serious Catholic Bible Study.
