I could almost copy P A 's list verbatim, but I'll make a few more comments: ESV--My default for teaching, personal, and academic use; I like the elegant language and accuracy. NIV 2011--When in doubt, my default for preaching or casual usage at times when the ESV's precision is not required. I agree wholeheartedly with the description of it as "a bit

[quote user="Robert Neely"]I was wondering what the basis of your statements were regarding the ratings on Logos. Are you saying people are "sandbagging" the ratings? Do you have evidence of this? If so, can you share it? Distorted ratings should be brought to management's attention if true.[/quote] Not at all. I think some of it is just people wanting

[quote user="SineNomine"]There may not be anything in it that you want at the prices offered, but that doesn't make it a bad sale.[/quote] Sometimes--like after a version upgrade and a Christmas sale--this is a relief more than anything.

Well, color me surprised! I'm more disappointed that a long-awaited pre-pub hasn't shipped today as it was supposed to, though I guess there may still be time for that. [quote user="SineNomine"] Maybe we'll get something tomorrow about starting the New Year off right with a 2,021 book collection. [/quote] It's possible!

[quote user="Rene Atchley"]It's neither in my view. I think the observation that FL is akin to a business like McDonald's pretty much sums up all the endless debate about the Christian nature of FL...its like a McDonald's. [/quote] I beg to differ. It's like an Applebee's.

No sign yet, but I'd be surprised if there isn't something that may or may not be interesting to some customers.

[quote user="Dale E Heath"] It's interesting that all 8 reviewers gave it 5 stars. Might be friends or relatives? [/quote] [Not commenting on the EHV which I don't know at all] An amazingly high number of people automatically 5-star everything, especially if they got it from FL for free. I remember one particular 800+ plus freebie theology tome I slogged

[quote user="John Kaess"]Now that I'm settled into Logos 9, it occurred to me that with the 15% discount available, this is the perfect time to take a look at all the Logos and Verbum Starter packages. I've purchased 5 so far all for less than $20 each (some less than $10). It's a great way to inexpensively broaden the scope of your resources for a

[quote user="SineNomine"] [quote user="Sean"]It's kind of infuriating that he's become, to a large extent, the default in the field [/quote] That depends rather dramatically on your theological background. Were it not for these forums and Faithlife's marketing, I wouldn't yet have heard of him. [/quote] Oh yes, most definitely; and also one's region

I did find it somewhat offensive, but +1 to this: [quote user="Whyndell Grizzard"] Since I don't use his first, I'm not concerned about his second or third, fourth, fifth, etc. there are better reads and in my estimation better quality theology books to spend my time with. IMHO [/quote] It's kind of infuriating that he's become, to a large extent, the

[quote user="MJ. Smith"]No thank you. Best Commentaries has no basis for authority and would be akin to Faithlife explicitly supporting one particular theology above others. Were there a site that gave neutral academic rankings that treating many types of criticism as being of equal value, I would reconsider my position.[/quote] +100% to all that MJ

I'm by no means an upgrade expert, but a few points: Ref. Silver doesn't come with the full feature set but the Silver feature set. I think the price is lower in the cart because it's just for the library and not the feature set. I tried putting it in my cart (I've not upgraded to L9 at all yet), and it just says "L9 Reformed Silver". So, apparently

[quote user="SineNomine"] Might be nice to get https://www.eerdmans.com/Products/6976/thomas-aquinas-and-karl-barth.aspx into the Faithlife ecosystem...

[quote user="Bruce Dunning"]I started to read the series and finished the first volume before I was distracted by other reading. Hearing you speak of this is a motivation for me to return. Which volume do you like the best and why? Perhaps I will read it next.[/quote] I like Volume 1, The Doctrine of the Word of God, best as it lays the groundwork for

[quote user="Rosie Perera"]Yeah, well, back in those days, to my mother, anything other than strict biblical literalism and even bibliolatry was "liberal".[/quote] Barth helped save my faith when those things began to collapse for me. [quote user="Rosie Perera"]This makes me want to start reading it devotionally.[/quote] I'm reminiscing going through

[quote user="Rosie Perera"]I remember my mother saying something about being suspicious of Barth when I was a young believer. She had heard he was "liberal", so she didn't want to read some book of his that had been given to her, so she was getting rid of it.[/quote] Technically, Barth was the diametric opposite of a liberal theologian. What that resulted

I'm upvoting, of course, but I recall that FL once said that the rights issues with Romans were complicated.

[quote user="Mark"] Link please [/quote] https://www.logos.com/product/5758/barths-church-dogmatics $90. I paid $300 for it when it first came out in 2008 on CD. Worth every penny.

[quote user="Rosie Perera"] [quote user="Sean"]Finally, on a personal note, reading Barth changed my life, greatly strengthening my faith at a time when I needed it.[/quote] Isn't your avatar a photo of the spines of the complete paperback set of Barth's Church Dogmatics ?
