That's either a mistake or a great sale! My non-academic price $21.38 for 10 resources (reported, actually lists 9 titles). FL is this correct?
I suppose the math is right if you assume the same value for each book.
TYNDALE!!!!
I have owned the complete set of Tyndale commentaries for quite a while and, like others, have been asking to have access to the latest volumes of the collection for a while.
Well, well, today as I was reviewing this month's IVP UK sale, I see the set advertised at my price just above 21 dollars (keep in mind I have academic pricing). Typically, when that happens it means that there is one new volume to be acquired as part of the set. So, I go and check to see which it is and TO MY GREAT SURPRISE AND DELIGHT it was the TEN latest volumes I did not own (all published since 2011)!!!
So, if you like me might assume this is not worth a look, it might very well be. Perhaps you won't have as great a discount as I did, but perhaps you will or something still very much worthwhile. Check it out!

I snatched the 10 volumes for $21.38! It’s better than the $44 and change that it priced me a few weeks back. 👍😁👌 Thanks FL!

For me it's 38 volumes for $87.25. This is somewhat tempting...
In my feed, there's also this discrepancy:
The complete Tyndale OT-NT set is cheaper than just the Tyndale OT set
Although the Resources list is not available yet for OT308, FL has let us know that Dr. Sklar’s course will use the newer Leviticus volume. Thanks Francis and FL!
Thanks to FL for including Carta and a Hebrew audio bible in Logos 9!
Just received a refund of 23.02
I quickly grabbed this - very nice - thanks FL! [:D]

Thanks Francis! and Thanks Faithlife!
I had purchased this at $44 a couple of weeks ago and was able to call and get credit for the difference.
Thanks Francis - I would have completely missed this one if you had not mentioned it ! My thanks to Faithlife also for making the update available. Keep well Paul
Just picked up my 9 volumes for $21.38. When they downloaded, I noticed that one of the library resources was "The Song of Songs: Bible Text," and it was type:Bible. When I opened it up, the "Bible Text" was the author's translation into English. I was not expecting Hebrew text from this particular series, but I can't think of any other instances where the author's translation downloads as a separate resource. I know several of the more technical commentary sets have maybe Greek, Hebrew, or Latin texts that download with them, but it was kind of neat to see an author's English translation available as a separate file. If Faithlife continues doing this, it would eventually allow us to make a collection out of such resources and use the Text Comparison tool to quickly compare how a given set of authors translates a particular passage. That is an exciting thought!
Thanks to FaithLife and IVP UK.
That is a great deal. I bought the 9 volume upgrade in August when it was released on pre-pub for $119.

Thanks for the information; I also purchased them a few weeks ago for $44.40. Hoping I can get a credit for the difference as well.

Does the PrePub promise hold true in this case? If one purchase within a year and it is offer lower than the PrePub price then one gets credited.

That would be interesting to know, since the original PrePub was without dynamic pricing I assume, and the current deal is only available with dynamic pricing. Therefore, it's not quite exactly the same product (just almost the same...)

According to the new pre-pub pricing policy thread, the savings has to be on the same product that was originally offered on pre-pub.
The Tyndale Commentaries upgrade is apparently no longer available for purchase. I think this is unfortunate for pre-pub purchasers, as they can't know if it would have also gone on sale this month, entitling them to a store credit.

If anyone's wondering why the new books aren't showing up in their Passage Guide, the newer ones are grouped as 'Tyndale Commentary Series' rather than 'Tyndale' (when you go to prioritize resources)
Since they're all being sold as part of the same set it would be helpful if they could be merged into the one group.

Thanks => manually changed series from The Tyndale Commentary Series to Tyndale Commentaries so one series has all the Tyndale Commentary volumes.
Keep Smiling [:)]
The 9 volumes are upgrade, newer volumes. If I upgrade, do I keep my old volumes so that I have both? Just making sure....
Thanks, Bruce. Its a done deal!

What about the Tyndel set makes it worth buying?
How can you justify it to your spouse if you already own many commentaries?

How can you justify it to your spouse if you already own many commentaries?
You could try reverting to childhood and say "...because" (Nah, It doesn't work for me, either.)

The Tyndale is a good basic set for people who don't own a lot of commentaries. It is a great set for lay people, those who need a solid set of evangelical commentaries on the whole Bible that are not too technical and don't require the knowledge of the original languages and at a reasonable price.
If you already own a lot of commentaries, you may not need Tyndale, but there are many volumes that you might like to have. In the NT, Stott on the Epistles of John, Moo on James, Wright on Colossians and Philemon, and Morris on 1 Corinthians. In the OT there are many more. In fact, you might want to look at Best Commentaries and check out the rankings for the OT volumes yourself.

If you share Logos with your spouse, this would probably be a set she uses a lot.

Does this assume that the wife is a lay person?
Probably a fair assumption in most cases. [:)]

Not yet. Time is running out slowly...
What about the Tyndel set makes it worth buying?
I'm wondering the same. Since I have the NT already, the the question specifically is, what makes the OT worth buying.
I already have a number of conservative commentaries for lay people (such as me): the Opening Up series, Thru the Bible, Wiersbe's 'BE' series. All of them are written by "white American Evangelicals". The Tyndale commentary is different. Written by white British Evangelicals. It does make a difference.
I'm still tempted, but not yet fully convinced.
How can you justify it to your spouse if you already own many commentaries?
I'd pay with Logos credit, and she wouldn't notice.
How would I justify it to myself though? We've just bought a house, and borrowed some money from my parents. Next week a company will clear the small forest in the backyard, which will cost a shocking $1000. Improving the electric installations might cost the same amount in the worst case. I must be careful not to "waste" my Logos credit too fast.

Thanks for the view point, guess I will wait a few more days to decide. [:^)]

I thought I'd pipe in on this as in years past this was quite a sore spot in my marriage. What ended up working well for us was to assign an amount of our monthly budget that I could use for Logos. I then took this amount and applied it to the Logos Book Cache program. I could choose to spend it on whatever Logos product I wanted immediately or wait and let it grow to get something bigger like a complete commentary set, but either way she knew exactly how much was coming out that month and could plan around it. This may not work in everyone's situation, but it sure eliminated quite a bit of contention for us.
