I just saw it today.  I have never heard of it before.  What is it like compared to the ESV and NLT Study Bibles?

Andrews University Press is Seventh-Day Adventist Publisher so I assume this Study Bible will be of this theological orientation.

Bohuslav you are correct. Designed for the lay person. Has studies (text and writings) about Adventist beliefs.

 

Lynden, I too hope it soon gets into production.  [:D] 

It will be good to know the biblical foundation for "some" of the Adventist beliefs. 

Because I want to go to the source instead of "rummers", I also want to see the Biblia de Jerusalem make it into production.

I also would like to see the Spanish Jerusalem Bible:  http://www.logos.com/es/producto/13203/biblia-de-jerusalen-latinoamericana

Hope they are both on my logos bookshelf soon!

 

 

Somehow I missed the announcement for this resource. [:(]  What was the pre-pub price for the notes?  Guess I'll need to wait for a sale to get close to the pre-pub price.

Yep it went out of pri pub, but you can still just BUY the notes if you already have the NKJV.[:D]

Just out of curiosity. Was the "notes only" version offered during the pre-pub? The reason I ask is because I ordered this as soon as I seen it listed on pre-pub and paid $34.95 for it. The "Notes Only" version would have been cheaper since I already have the NKJV. If I simply missed it I'll just have to take the hit for the few extra dollars and learn to slow down on the ordering process.  [:$]

Well said! [:D]

I have an issue with this implementation of the Andrews Bible.  I was under the impression that the LOGOS implementation was going to be somewhat similar to the print edition.  IT IS NOT.  It seems to be just the notes only edition.  In my opinion this is false advertising.  The notes seem to be very good.  but the electronic version is a poor implementation and is not like have a bible with the notes embedded in the text.

But this is how many Study Bibles are shipped.  The Andrews Bible is shipped with and without the NKJV - with a $10 difference in price.  The study notes can then be linked to your version of choice - probably the NKJV, but others may prefer the ESV or the NRSV, etc.  Check out these two products:

     http://www.logos.com/buy/9500  << Adds the notes and the NKJV to your order ($39.95)

     http://www.logos.com/buy/15006    << Adds the notes only to your order ($29.95)

I just wanted to ask again, I think that my first time asking has gotten buried. Thanks.

Thank you Floyd.I was just curious if maybe I was not paying attention to the details. I still think that it was a good investment though for those of us who sometimes use study Bibles,instead of the more detailed commentaries, Seventh Day Adventist or not. I have already been using it. Blessings.

any comments on what it adds to the mix of Study Bibles already available?

Sure, please keep in mind though that most of the study Bibles that I use are in a different program (including the ESV). I'm slowly converting to Logos as I can afford it, so some of the things that I see as being very good might be the norm for Logos.

There are three things that stick out for me.

#1: My favorite is the Topical Reading. Basically you have a symbol that indicates a topic and a list that gives other scriptures on that topic. Some would maybe compare this to Thompson's Chain Bible but I like how the symbol makes it stand out and the list of topics is easily found with each verse associated with it. Forgive me if I am sounding clumsy, hopefully the pictures will illustrate what I am trying to say.

 

 

 

#2: There are a lot of maps that are easily accessible from the table of contents and the bigger your window is, the bigger the map is without squinting [:)]

 

 

#3: Finally, like the maps, the charts are easily found from the TOC like the maps are. This keeps you from having to guess and try to navigate to the book, chapter and verse that you think that it might be at or if (like me) you would have no clue where to find it at!

 

Here is an example of the table of contents. Each book's layout is the same, similar to other study Bibles with author, date etc. 

 

Hope this helps. If I was not clear about something please let me know and I'll try to explain myself further/better.

Thanks Lynden, when I first ordered the pre-pub I did not see the notes only option but I'll be more careful to check back regularly when I order a pre-pub in the future.

You might contact Customer Service tomorrow to see if you can still get the notes version for the pre-pub price.  You have a few days to return an item - and if you already own the NKJV, they may be willing to refund your overpayment OR give you credit that you can use on another product.  

I don't speak for LOGOS, but I know the answer if you don't ask.
