- The "Third Augmented Edition" of the NOAB is a wonderful study Bible. I do own the current 5th edition in other Bible software, but this is the version that lives on my prayer desk and feel at little disadvantage with having this slightly older version in Logos. It is concise yet highly informative. And a great companion for anyone who prefers the NRSV. The ecumenical and scholarly nature of this volume makes it a must for anyone who wants to study the Bible.

- Beware this is a fine addition to your Library but it is far from complete. 2100+ of the most in depth entries were not included. Because in general Britannica never licences out it articles larger than 1200 words. Knowing this you still get a massive amount of the encyclopedia. And you do get 550 of those larger articles that are considered most important for the humanities and religious studies two major omissions from this are Martin Luther and C. S. Lewis.
- Thanks Dan !
- Dan, how do you know this? It's September 19 today but you posted a day ago (according to Logos comment system). If this is true, I'm feeling a little shortchanged. I thought I bought the, quoting here, "Encyclopaedia Britannica Collection". What's going on here? I bought this to replace my old 1960's version of the encyclopedia and thought it would be complete. Raise the price and give me all of it so I can use inside Logos! Grrrrrr.
- Can you assist with answering my question here: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/188926.aspx
- I have had this commentary for over 15 years. I found it in a local Christian book store while looking for a more depth I had in any of my current ownership. It is solid and deals with the whole book in order unlike some more thematic commentaries (not that this one won't send you to other parts where a topic is dealt with fuller). The scholarship is sound and is very applicable. This physical volume is what lead me to buy the Libronix CDROM.
- My rating may seem out of sort for what should be a five star product. But Logos version has a serious downside. It is incomplete. Logos faithfully reproduces the text in the printed books as is good. But WJKP completed both tracks of the Old testament and includes them free of charge on their own version. I could not in all honesty give this 5 stars knowing it is incomplete and hearing nothing from Logos on this issue being rectified. I own both because this wonderful resource came with Anglican Gold, but it is frustrating knowing that the OT texts are not fully covered and even worse one cannot say if your using semicontinuous RCL you are covered. Because year B is the typological track. So with the Logos version you are missing half the OT readings and Psalm readings. If you can live with that go with Logos if not look elsewhere. IF/WHEN logos offers the missing texts I will revise this review and move it 5 Stars, right now it feels like a 3 wheeled automobile, something needs it to be added to be fully useful.
- Thanks for the info very helpful!!!
- Do you know if this has ever been fixed? I am a seminarian, can't afford the print version but this may not be good
- Logos currently has a sale on this. But has this issue been fixed? I am aware the comment was from three years ago.
- I have this series and will say that Hermeneia is not usually the first volume I go to on a passage, but if I have any technical question can be most assured it will be touched upon and usually fairly dealt with. I can speak more to the Continental series which i have found several of the volumes to be invaluable. the CC on Psalms is among my favourite. And Westermann's volumes on Genesis from the CC are a must.
- I should have also mentioned the broadness of Hermeneia, including the only in depth commentary available on the extra Biblical book Enoch, not to mention a commentary on Odes of Solomon from the Septuagint. Not to mention volumes on early church works.
