The New Interpreters Dictionary of the Bible

Whyndell Grizzard said:

With the Anchoe Bible Dictionary, many OT books in Hermenia series and the Apocrypha of the OT- many of the foot notes carry article refrences to this resource only makes sense to have them in Logos.

Another reason for having the New Interpreters publications in Logos.  [:D]  http://community.logos.com/forums/t/16328.aspx

Would be nice but I think I recall that Abingdon was committed to their own software much as Zondervan was. If enough people ask Abingdon, maybe it might happen in spite of that.

I cannot find an email address so snail mail would have to be used:

Abingdon Press
P.O. Box 801
Nashville, TN 37202-0801

I found some email addresses by Googling "@abingdonpress.com." I'm not sure whether all of these are current and how relevant any of them would be, but if you got through to anyone I'm sure they could forward it to the appropriate person.

I'd love to see IB and IDB on Logos. Frankly, I find the user interface for Abingdon to be so bad that I don't even use the program....Logos has spoiled me.

I would also love to see the NIBD available in Logos. My Abingdon version uses the old Folio Views document management software which, as far as I can determine, will not install on Vista or Windows 7. I couldn't get any help from Abingdon, but I found a patch from another supplier who uses the same software. Not very satifactory.

That is basically exactly what I told some folks at Abingdon.  They told me that they have been in dialogue with Logos (yea!) but that the parties haven't yet been able to agree on a split of the revenue, and that Logos had politely turned down their offer of an equal split.  I hope the two companies can work something out!

I sure hope they can come to an agreement, that nobody is being obstinate or unreasonable. It would really be awesome to be able to get Abingdon resources in Logos format. They've got some great stuff. It would benefit both parties and users in the long run to get past this negotiation hurdle.

Here are some other great Abingdon titles:

• Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther (Roland H. Bainton)
• A Grammar for Biblical Hebrew (C.L. Seow)
• Exclusion & Embrace: A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness, and Reconciliation (Miroslav Volf)
• Old Testament Theology: An Introduction (Walter Brueggemann)
• The Wilderness of God (Andrew Louth)
• Manifold Witness: The Plurality of Truth (John R. Franke)
• Breaking the Code: Understanding the Book of Revelation (Bruce M. Metzger)
• Christian Worship and Technological Change (Susan J. White)
• Litanies and Other Prayers for the Revised Common Lectionary (Years A, B, C)
• Prayers for the Seasons of God's People: Worship Aids for the Revised Common Lectionary (Years A, B, C)
• Invocations and Benedictions for the Revised Common Lectionary (John Drescher)
• Christianity's Family Tree: What Other Christians Believe and Why (Adam Hamilton)
• Reflections on Grief and Spiritual Growth (Andrew Weaver & Howard Stone, eds.)
• Dialogue in Despair: Pastoral Commentary on the Book of Job (William Hulme) (out of print)

Thanks Rosie!

I sent my emails, and I was polite as I can be. I also indicated that I was a Methodist pastor and life-long Abingdon customer.
