- I'm happy to commend this as a useful introductory textbook. Be aware that (1) this product is the first edition (2002); (2) Logos also sells the second edition (2011) in various configurations/collections; (3) the print version of the third edition (2021) has also been released, but isn't yet available in Logos format.
- I'm happy to commend this as a useful introductory textbook. Note that there's now a third edition (2021) which isn't yet available in Logos format.
- Akin to the note from Daniel (April 2021): note that two of these five volumes (Numbers; part of Deuteronomy) have since been revised. There may be merit in considering separate volumes instead of or in addition to this bundle.
- I find dictionaries an easy way to get a succinct grasp on topics. Here, we meet brief biographies of key biblical interpreters from each era of the church, along with summaries of their interpretive approaches and contributions. There's now a new and expanded edition, which is potentially confusing with its updated title: Dictionary of Major Biblical Interpreters (IVP, 2007), also available in Logos format.
- As past comments have noted, be aware that (1) this product is the first edition (2001); (2) Logos also sells the second edition (2011) in various configurations/collections; (3) the print versions of the third edition (2021) have also been released, but aren't yet available in Logos format.
- This is a judicious, middle-of-the-road volume. It's sometimes on sale. Beware that the second edition is now available on Logos; this isn't it.
- This is a popular volume, and rightly so. It's often on sale. Beware that the second edition is now available on Logos; this isn't it.
- The new Author's Preface tells us that Moo has primarily attempted to update two decades of literature on Romans and related issues. He's also rearranged and clarified some content. Ultimately, ‘While many new issues are discussed here, I have changed my mind on relatively few points of exegesis or theology (“old dogs” and all that).’
- Thanks Andrew. I was wondering if it made sense to buy the 2nd edition. I have the first.
- Yes, I hate facing such choices. If our goal is keeping up to date with particular scholarly conversations, we need to consider newer editions. If our task is focusing more directly on the text, an older edition will often suffice. (The two tasks aren’t mutually exclusive. The best scholarly conversations should ultimately concern interpretation and application!)
- For those interested in separate volumes, the May 2018 sale offers Volume 8 (Matt, Mark, Luke) on its own: www.logos.com/product/54555/the-expositors-bible-commentary-volume-8-matthew-mark-luke. In the revised series, Volume 6 (Prov, Eccl, Isa) also seems to be available individually: www.logos.com/product/54533/the-expositors-bible-commentary-volume-6-proverbs-isaiah
- Sad to see a few useful resources disappear (like the NCV and NKJV, Greek Audio NT, Futato's Beginning Biblical Hebrew, HarperCollins Bible Dictionary, Concise Oxford English Dictionary, Merriam Webster Thesaurus). But there are some useful new inclusions as well (not least the NIV2011, Moulton-Howard-Turner, ANET). What's especially intriguing is that the 'Overview' mentions NA28 ... but I can't find it anywhere on the list. Still a quality package.
- As a teacher of Old and New Testaments, these volumes are amongst the first I turn to on any given topic. Having them mobile also means I can check something when stuck on public transport, away on holidays, and so on. A great package!
