This one needs a push

agreed. would love to see this in development.
have pre-ordered already.
I know I have shared this in other threads but to give people a feel for what is in the notes compared to the rudimentary notes found in the readers edition I will place this here again.…
Many of you may well have the readers edition of NJB in your Libraries but to give you an idea for those of you not familiar with it. Imagine the NIV Study Bible was published first and the the translation was excised out of it with the bare minimal notes.
This is the full text:
1 At many moments in the past and by many means, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets; 2 but in our time, the final days, a he has spoken to us in the person of his Son, b whom he appointed heir of all things c and through whom he made the ages. d 3 He is the reflection of God’s glory and bears the impress of God’s own being, e sustaining all things by his powerful command; and now that he has purged sins away, he has taken his seat at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high. 4 So he is now as far above the angels as the title which he has inherited is higher than their own name. a. In the fullness of time, Mk 1:15; Ga 4:4c, the last times or the last days begin, Ac 2:17; 1 P 1:20. b. After the prophets, God sends an envoy who is no longer a mere messenger like the others; he is ‘Son’, cf. Mk 12:2-6; Rm 1:4c, he is even the Word, Jn 1:1a, 14m. c. To be a son implies having the right to inherit, cf. Mt 21:38, Ga 4:7. Here, however, God is credited with the handing over of the whole creation because the inheritance in question is messianic and eschatological. d. Hebraism for the whole of creation. e. These two metaphors are borrowed from the sophia and logos theologies of Alexandria, Ws 7:25-26; they express both the identity of nature between Father and Son, and the distinction of persons. The Son is the brightness, the light shining from its source, which is the bright glory, see Ex 24:16f, of the Father (‘Light from Light’). He is also the replica, see Col 1:15d, of the Father’s substance, like an exact impression made by a seal on clay or wax, cf. Jn 14:9.
This is what the readers version we currently own in Logos provides:
1 At many moments in the past and by many means, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets; but 2 in our time, the final days, he has spoken to us in the person of his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the ages. 3 He is the reflection of God’s glory and bears the impress of God’s own being, * sustaining all things by his powerful command; and now that he has purged sins away, he has taken his seat at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high. 4So he is now as far above the angels as the title which he has inherited is higher than their own name.
* cf. Ws 7:25–26.

This is an invaluable work that every scholar of the Bible should want in their library. For $15.99 it is one of the greatest bargains you will find in the Logos world. Please consider ordering it to help bring this work in it's fullness to Logos. Please note that often times the notes are far more verbose and occasionally in some books of the OT they are less so, that is the nature of Bible commentaries and Study Bibles.

Yes this does indeed need a push ! I pre-ordered this a while back. Come on, people bid, and let's get this into production !!!!!!
Bump
I saw P A's bump again, and sighed ... this prepub is an innocent victim of the 'Denise rule'; if only 50% after a few weeks, then a perminent prepub.
I really would like this prepub ... but the title is the poison pill. Most people already have their favorite Bibles. Just like NET, the value is the notes.
And NJSB (renamed) has really fascinating notes. In Dan's example, note 'a' is really interesting .... fullness of time, last times, or the interesting one, last days begin. I also wonder about note 'd'; maybe. Note 'e' is quite good too; quite a bit is tracable to Alexandria.
Too bad we couldn't break into Bellingham HQ ... joking, of course (have to add that these days).
You're fortunate to be able to access the Readers Version let alone look forward to the full Study Bible. Those of us living outside of the USA & Canada are prevented by copyright restrictions from purchasing a copy!
The Exegetical Summary series often refers to NJB, and those summaries are used by many Bible translators mostly in locations outside USA and Canada.
(Dont tell anyone: You can place pre-orders on restricted products even when you're outside North America!)
'Denise rule'; if only 50% after a few weeks, then a permanent prepub
Sad fact, but this seems to prove it - I have pre-ordered this in 2013:

PUSH!
Perhaps it will show up in one of the L7 expansion bundles, to help get it into production.
Love your profile photo, by the way. Always puts a smile on my face!
