Thanks for the Logos 7 Expansion Bundles
I just wanted to express my appreciation to Faithlife for making the L7 Expansion Bundles available.
I was able to pick up some very useful resources at a price I was happy with.
Thanks, Graham

I will be very grateful for those tomorrow, once I've added the December free book +1 (which might or might not affect dynamic pricing...) [:D]

I'm really impressed with the prices. There are a few resources I've wanted for a while that are way cheaper for me in these collections than they are as individual resources, quite aside from the extra goodies.
Annoyingly (and this is just my poor financial planning), I think I'm probably gonna have to miss the extra discount period, given Christmas expenses and whatnot, but they're still well worthwhile for me.

Yes, thanks are in order. I can see why it took so long to compile these bundles.

I'm still deciding which ones to get. Would you mind sharing which bundles you ended up getting and which resources you appreciated the most?

I went with three of the bundles:
- Gospel L
- Pauline XL
- Theology XL
In the Gospel bundle I was particularly interested in:
- A book of evidence
- A portrait of Christ
- Behind the gospels
- God's equal
- Jesus' emotions in the Gospels
- Geography of Hell
I was also interested in "Making disciples Jesus' way" but this was the only resource in XL that I wanted so was cheaper for me to buy that resource separately
In Pauline I was interested in:
- Harmony of the life of Paul
- Body for the Lord
- Christ is God over all
- Law in Paul's thought
- Paul and Jesus
- Paul, Moses and the history of Israel
- Paul's use of the OT in Romans 9
- Perspectives of Jesus in the writings
- The quest for Paul's Gospel
In Theology:
- After our likeness
- The Nicene Faith
- The way to Nicaea (this is something I am trying to understand better at the moment)
- Science and Theology Collection
It was this last one that I hesitated over most but eventually decided it was worth it for me.

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate hearing your reasoning as I consider what will suit me best.

I bought:
- Logos 7 New Testament Studies Library Expansion, L
- Logos 7 Pastoral Care and Counseling Library Expansion, XL
- Logos 7 Pauline Studies Library Expansion, M
- Logos 7 Apologetics Library Expansion, L
- Logos 7 Church Fathers Library Expansion, XL
I didn't get that many volumes (20, perhaps?), but it only cost $136.46.
The only books I've added straight to my reading list are:
- Pastors Under Pressure — Pastoral Care L and above
- Jesus Outside the New Testament: An Introduction to the Ancient Evidence — NT M and above, Bible Background XL
From that perspective, the Crossway Top Authors' bundle (which cost me $102.45 for about 20 volumes) was much better immediate value. From that I've added the following to my reading list:
- Signs of the Spirit: An Interpretation of Jonathan Edwards’ Religious Affections
- A Sincere and Pure Devotion to Christ: 100 Daily Meditations on 2 Corinthians (2 vols.)
- Tough Topics: Biblical Answers to 25 Challenging Questions
- Saved from What?
- Here Is Our God: God's Revelation of Himself in Scripture
- Chosen for Life: The Case for Divine Election
- Crossway Martyn Lloyd-Jones Collection Upgrade (4 vols.)
- The Consequences of Ideas: Understanding the Concepts That Shaped Our World
- Crossway D.A. Carson Collection (7 vols.)
To be fair the bundles included some useful reference material, including Koester's Introduction to the NT and several volumes of Augustine and Irenaeus. I also think I'll find the Steve Gallagher collection useful.

I went with one: Jewish Studies Library Expansion, M
8 of the books were new to me and in 6 of them I find interesting titles, others may do also.
I have had Talmud already for some years, but I find it a bit difficult to read, maybe the the book "Swimming in the Sea of Talmud" will help [:)]
