Tyndale Commentary Set - Problems with Pricing??

It is probably because the updated volumes are now in there

How good are the updated volumes? 

Dynamic pricing has been fixed! Cool 😎 decisions, decisions 👍😁👌

Yes this is much better.  When these updates first came out Logos wanted $160 for them.  Now my dynamic price is $44.  Seems almost too good to be true.  I concur with one of the previous comments... are these 9 new volumes worth it?  I have heard Skylar's version on Leviticus is excellent but I don't know on any of the others

Paul N,

This is from the author's preface to the 2nd edition.

I am grateful for the opportunity to upgrade my earlier commentary on the Gospel of John, first published in 2003, and I want to express my thanks to Dr Philip Duce, Senior Commissioning Editor at Inter-Varsity Press, and Professor Eckhard Schnabel, the Series Editor of the Tyndale New Testament Commentaries, for the invitation to do so. This provides an opportunity to thoroughly revise, expand and update it in the light of more recent studies and so enhance its value for present-day readers. This new edition is based on the widely used New International Version (2011).

The price has gone down since I purchased last night. Can someone at FL check to see if I got the correct price? 

I think there might be problems as it has no price shown at the moment!

I’m good with the older set. Great upgrade price, though 👍😁👌

Two quick updates on this thread, now that the Tyndale volumes are making a splash with the February sale (see this thread).

It may make sense that the 2 Volume Pslams was replaced due to "age", but more curious are other volumes replaced after 5 to 10 years.

TOTC and TNTC volumes can appear difficult to date, because they were all repackaged around 2008. But all the replacement volumes in this upgrade set are significantly newer: 30–40 years newer and not merely 5–10 years.

book	original	replaced
Leviticus	Harrison, 1980	Sklar, 2013
Deuteronomy	Thompson, 1974	Woods, 2011
Psalms	Kidner, 1973, 1975	Longman, 2014
Song of Songs	Carr, 1984	Duguid, 2015
Jeremiah, Lamentations	Harrison, 1973	Lalleman, 2013
Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi	Baldwin, 1972	Hill, 2012
Mark	Cole, 1961, rev. 1989	Schnabel, 2017

The question has also been raised about Colin Kruse's revision of John (2003, rev. 2017). I'm guessing the answer is as simple as others have suggested: the revision has occurred too recently to be included. I'm pretty confident of this because neither does the set include two other recent, 2017 volumes: Lindsay Wilson on Proverbs and Mary Evans on Judges and Ruth. I guess we're just lucky that Eckhard Schnabel got his Mark volume out earlier in the year.

I'm a little confused by this list. How many commentaries (in the series) are there currently for each book in the Bible?

For example, according to the product listings:

• Leviticus (Harrison, 2008)
• Deuteronomy (Thompson, 2008)
• Psalms 1-72 (Kidner, 2008)
• Psalms 73-150 (Kidner, 1975)
• Song of Songs (Carr, 2008)
• Jeremiah, Lamentations (Harrison, 2008)
• Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi (Baldwin, 2008)
• Mark (Cole, 2008)

Library shows one more replacement plus two revisions:

book	original	update
Esther	Baldwin, 1984	Reid, 2008
2 Corinthians	Kruse, 1987	Kruse, 2015
James	Moo, 1985	Moo, 2015

Thankful Year, Series, and Author prefixes can be added to Titles so can see years between revision/replacement.

Keep Smiling

Wow. Did you add the prefixes manually?

Yes, Joshua, the list is quite confusing. KS4J introduces some helpful language. Some volumes (e.g. Deuteronomy, Esther, Proverbs Mark) are being replaced; a new author is writing a new volume. Others are being revised, with the same author updating their own work (e.g. John, 2 Corinthians). So counting or listing them isn't a simple task.

As I noted earlier, this is further confused by the 2008 repackaging. The original volume on Deuteronomy (by Thompson) was first published in 1974. But, as you've noticed, the Logos version often provides only the 2008 re-release date. That gives rise to the sense that a new volume on the same book (by Woods) in 2013 is surprisingly hasty.

My own additional confusion is that I've got two Logos copies of most of the old versions. Perhaps the original UK version has now been supplemented by the US release? That may have been naturally gifted to me, or I may have picked up the other release when buying a few additional volumes at some point. Any clever insights welcome. (I'll have to trawl KS4J's list to see if there are hints... [;)])

Thanks, Dave. Yes, now that I look, one version gives its file ID and filename as the series/volume and the other lists the same info with a US suffix. For example, TOTC20PR and TOTC20PRUS.

Now that I've had a moment to explore a couple of other differences, there are a few incongruities. Unsure whether the US set or (the one that I'll call) the UK edition is preferable:

• different production dates; the UK edition is older (2010 file) while the US release is more recently updated (2016)
• ironically, then, older UK release has better corrections (e.g. series editor's name at the end of the General Preface) and more internal linking to other Logos resources
• conversely, newer US release has added newer metadata (e.g. Popular Highlights; Timeline Events)
• US version gives a fuller Copyright page (although any info common to both is identical)
• the US version presents itself as part of a set, which then displays page breaks with longer (and, IMHO, less attractive) volume information

In short, the UK version seems much more usable, so it's surprising or disappointing to observe the shortcomings in the more updated US release.
