I have been in and out of this one for what seems like years. Back in to stay!
12 hour bumping time.
Just throwing some wood on the fire, I'd really like to analyze Whiston ... I wonder just how primitive he was able to get it, using the (correct) greek.
Then, of course Mr Campbell. He would have been in the majority years. This should be interesting.
And finally the two ladies. One took an unusual approach to the OT ... Metzger was unusually kind. The other followed across the Atlantic.
Bid, bid, bid!
Not gonna happen. The collection has been in CP limbo for ages, and creeping up in progress so slow despite dozens of forum threads.
Those 3 forum users who haven't placed a bid yet will not cause the price to drop, not even one dollar.
Help me get off the fence on this one. Other than for historical reasons, why should I have this in my library?
Thanks!
Lew

Oh you of little faith! Doubtest thou the power of bidders?
It won't really matter to me at least, because I'll be getting dynamic pricing on it anyway 😁
Jan ... my bumping wasn't price-driven. I very much doubt Logos would let it go down, judging from earlier examples. I think they're being kind for folks who gave up earlier, prior to release.
Lew, I can't speak to your needs, but translations are a great (and quick) commentary on problem passages. Additionally ' brave translations' tended to concentrate in waves relative to religious excitement. So, for example there's a grouping in the post-Civil War era (US), another around Westcott/Egypt, another pre-American Revolution, and so forth.
Of course, it's already been mentioned, some of these speak to tremendous courage. Another era.

You sure about that? The final price will be $170 which is about $7/volume. You'd probably have to already own 20 volumes of this collection to get a dynamic price lower than the current CP price, in my estimation.

FL is now giving dynamic pricing on CP products at the CP price for those who were successful with the CP bid

Ah I see. I thought DAL was implying he wasn't even bidding on it. I see he didn't actually say that.
I very much doubt Logos would let it go down, judging from earlier examples.
The words of a Prophet [;)]
They seemed to have fixed the price at 30 at least a week ago and no amount of bids will lower it to 29 it seems. [^o)]
$30 for this collection is more than a fair price. Usually just one Bible costs $10. [:D]

Well said! Alexander Campbell's NT will be great to have 👍

Just to be clear, we haven't fixed the price. It is still possible to lower it with enough bids.
Great News [Y]
Thanks for the suggestion, Denise. Your words bolster my notion that this collection is more interesting for the historian. I've found historic translations do not well represent the range of possibilities, especially, as you say, when inspired by religious excitement.
Yet, just in case, I upped my bid enough to be covered. I may cancel the order once the fear of losing a bargain subsides.
Great news lets aim for $25... when people hop on at the end it can go down fast... I am happy with $30 but hope we can get it low as possible.

Lew, no offense intended, but Christianity is the witness of the saints. No more, no less.

Now it seems now the $30 bid has dropped below 100% [:S]
Too many cancellations...

Just hope it goes for 30 and we get the books ASAP [:D]
SIDE NOTE: Is it just me, or does everyone else see about 3 different community pricing items that closed two years
ago https://www.logos.com/products/search?Status=Community+Pricing&start=0&sort=progress&pageSize=60
It went over to Pre-Pub at $28.91, which seems like an odd price. (Not complaining.)
Sweet! Not complaining either 😁
About $3 more than your price, and I'm not complaining. [:D]
I deleted my cp order because I acquired this in Collector's edition.
Very Happy With This Dynamic Pricing:
I have not bothered to delete any of these CP orders that I had which were also included in my base package because we will not be charged for them twice.
FINALLY!! A ship date!! I didn't think I would live to see this!
Gerry
Merry Christmas to me.[8]
Yes, very good news!
I already have Geneva, Wycliffe and Tyndale (New Testament) - they must have been part of base packages I bought.
Any particular reason I should keep the pre-pub? I'm happy to be convinced if anyone can persuade me that the others are worth getting!

I never, ever recommend buying a bundle to get one or a few resources.
You have some of the most important ones already. Unless you want to study development of the English bible in the 17th-19th centuries, I don't see a good reason to keep the pre-pub.

The Coverdale Bible, translated into English by Myles Coverdale, was the first complete Bible translated into English. It was also the first English Bible to have the full approval from the Crown to be published. Finished and printed in 1535, the Coverdale Bible stands as a landmark in the history of the English Bible.
This has the Psalms of the Book of Common Prayer which are the psalms that are known through literature and colloquially.
Abraham Benisch’s Jewish School and Family Bible was an independent Jewish translation of the Hebrew Bible into English. Published between the years of 1851–1856, Benisch published his English translation of the Old Testament so that the modern reader could have an accessible translation of their own.
This is (I think) the first Jewish translation into English in England. Not as well known in America as Lesser but still a critical point in the study of the Jewish understanding of the text.
Isaac Leeser’s The Twenty-Four Books of the Holy Scriptures is an English translation carefully translated from the Masoretic Hebrew text. Leeser’s translation was the first Jewish translation of the Bible to be published in the United States.
The most widely used English (Jewish) translation in the US before the JPS of 1917.
In this revision of the King James Version, William Whiston based his translation of the New Testament from three "primitive" manuscripts: the Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis for the Gospels and Acts; the Codex Claromontanus for the Pauline epistles; and the Codex Alexandrinus for the remaining content.
Gives non-Greek readers access to codices usually closed to them.
Known as the Samuel Davidson New Testament, The New Testament, Translated from the Critical Text of Von Tischendorf provides an in-depth history of the criticism, translation, and interpretation of the New Testament since the KJV.
Gives non-Greek readers access to critical edition usually closed to them.
Read the New Testament translation edited by an influential leader of the Restoration movement and the Church of Christ. Alexander Campbell was convinced that the Authorized Version of the New Testament was rife with poor translation, bad theology, and awkward English. To address these problems, he compiled a new edition—a bold move in his time. Based on the earlier work of George Campbell, James MacKnight, and Phillip Doddridge, it went on to become the preferred version of the Campbell-Stone movement throughout the nineteenth century. Commonly known as The Living Oracles New Testament, this translation is hailed as the first of the modern versions.
Important document of the Restoration movement that should be enough to get all Stone-Campbellites with an interest in history to purchase this bundle.
The New Testament in the Common Version, Conformed to Griesbach’s Standard Greek Text, known as the J. G. Palfrey New Testament, is based on a revision of the KJV by J. J. Griesbach. Griesbach’s work was revolutionary because he revised the text itself, rather than making his preferences known in the margin. Palfrey, a professor at Harvard Divinity, followed Griesbach’s lead and updated the text itself to reflect updated punctuation and other revisions for his lectures in the college. His volume was published anonymously at first, for it was meant for small circulation among his students, but eventually was widespread and serves as an early example of the textual criticism pioneered by Griesbach.
Yet another critical text not otherwise accessible ...
Is that enough Stephen?
