Daily Deal seems to have been overlooked with all the excitement of all the new offers on the first day of the month.

If you like this month's free and heavily discounted Mobile Ed courses, consider bidding on Mobile Ed OT300 Old Testament Theology by Bruce K. Waltke:

www.logos.com/product/149558/mobile-ed-ot300-old-testament-theology.

Waltke is a really big name in Old Testament studies, it's a whopping 16 hour course, and it's already 80% funded at the $150 price-point which represents a 73% saving.

I'm on board ...have been from the get-go and hope to see the traction really start to take hold on this course.

Personally, while I like the Mobile Ed format in general, I think topics such as this one are some of the best suited for Mobile Ed -- even better than Bible Book study courses. I say that because there are so many commentary options to choose from on individual books of the Bible, and you can usually buy many, many, commentaries on a particular book of the Bible for a lot less than a Mobile Ed Course on it. I don't at all mean to discourage anyone from ME Bible book study courses--I've purchased my share and have benefited greatly from them. But for my money, topics such as this one on Old Testament Theology are where the Mobile Ed format can shine the brightest.

So if you have any interest in this topic, please consider what you can afford and place a bid. If $150 is over your limit, consider bidding what you know you can handle. And remember, you can remove your bid if your circumstances change, and as with all Logos resources, you have 30 days to review the resource when it does come out and return it if your financial situation has changed or you're not 100% satisfied with the course.

There's really nothing to lose. [:)]

How does it differ from the Fragments of Truth?

How does it differ from the Fragments of Truth?

NT308 The Reliability of New Testament Manuscripts is a traditional Mobile Ed course. It was filmed in our studio and is more of an academic lecture type presentation by Craig Evans (divided into several individual segments). Fragments of Truth was filmed at several different locations and is a documentary and includes a variety of interviews.

Fragments of Truth is a video only resource, while the Mobile Ed course includes a transcript resource that is searchable and shows up in Logos library searches. The transcript resource has learning objectives and reading links to relevant resources for each segment and a final exam you can use to assess your learning. The course also has screencast videos showing how to use Logos for various tasks related to the course content.

"Dangerous Calling: Confronting the Unique Challenges of Pastoral Ministry"

Wow. Even the pastors have to be careful going to church. Who'd have thought.

Of course understandably, pastors are the only ones who aren't supposed to sin (political theology 101).

In terms of content, how does it differ?

Dangerous Calling! This is a must-read for anyone - from the church pastor to the church member.

Also, the free mobile Ed Course is excellent. I was dubious to begin with until I had my entire conception of NT transmission knocked down and rebuilt by Evans section on "the longevity of the autographs."

Well worth an hour of your time and very accessible to the non-expert.

I want this course and I see it is 73% ...

Does that mean that Dr. Waltke waits till this is funded and ready to produce; and, then and only then records the course which is outlined in detail on the site.... or, is it already recorded and we are just "raising money" to edit and fine tune the already recorded course????

Either way I want it.

thanks

My experience exactly.
