Original Language resources for the non scholar

Kevin Becker said:

The next obvious step (Logos resource wise) is to upgrade to Scholar's. It will give you a good start with Hebrew/Greek resources. I also recommend Hebrew for the Rest of us and Greek for the Rest of us for those who can't go through a traditional grammar course.

As one who has had Scholars Silver, and has the "Greek for the rest of us" I'd second both of these suggestions...

I appreciate your suggestions and
I have looked into upgrading  but for almost $400 - 600 for the two
lowest scholar packages, I don't need all the preaching and ministry
resources that are in them and are padding the cost. I would like a
package option that just includes some of the more basic language and
ancient text resources at a reasonable price.

A slimmed down package would be nice, but I don't think it's the
"preaching
and ministry resources" causing the high cost.  Those resources are
also in the the Leader's Library which is just $60 higher than the
Bible Study Library (at non-discounted prices).  I suspect the
licensing fees for the quality language tools and texts are the bulk of
Logos costs for the Scholar's Library.  As it is right now, upgrading
is your best option. Just buying a couple language resources
individually will equal the cost of the upgrade to Scholars.

I see Tom suggests the original languages library above, but I didn't think there was an upgrade path to that package?  Maybe there is. hmmm

I took your advice and called the sales department yesterday and am now the proud owner of the original languages package. I did get a deal from them that was a little cheaper than retail so I appreciate that and with the 12 month payment plan it became very affordable. Now if I can learn to use the resources I have at my disposal I will be elated. The guy who helped me told me about the Armana letters which are included in this package. They are correspondence (political & economic) between Canaanite rulers and the Pharaohs during the 14th century BCE . Interesting stuff. There is also many fragments of ancient manuscripts both biblical and historical.

Excellent. Enjoy your new resources!

Ordered both the books mentioned from overstock.com and have started the class "Greek for the rest of us" classes on the Teknia website. Thanks for all the info.

Dennis,

I think that you'll really get a lot out of it...Mounce is a really good teacher...if sometimes a little corny in his jokes....

PS: email me for two more resources...I'd rather not mention them here on the forum....
