Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament, Volume XVII: Index -???

I was wondering if the Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament, Volume XVII: Index was worth getting if we already have the full set?

Is it really worth purchasing if we have the ability to search everything within the set already?

Thanks in advance

Rob,

I don't own the index, so my opinion is skewed. In my view I see no clear advantage to owning the index for the reason you put forth. HSAT, if I were looking to own this volume now is the time to buy as I don't see it being offered at a better price any time soon. For those who own TDOT&Vol.16/TDNT the dynamic price is $35.38

Edit: Some may find the textual references helpful.

Thanks for bringing this question. It provoked my bias and led me to test its basis. Because FL gives us the privilege of examining our purchases for 30 days, I saw no harm in purchasing volume 17. A cursory review of the resource leads me to a change in my opinion. I suggest that you too examine for yourself the resource and judge whether or not you find it worth owning.

Like Rob, I've wondered about the practical value of adding this index. Thanks for your feedback, Beloved. I'm aware that I can test-drive any Logos resource myself for 30 days but I'd welcome the opinion of others who have used and evaluated it.

Joshua,

The "cursory" review was just me poking around in the TOC. I'll leave a screenshot to give you an idea.
