- Can Logos update the author’s bio listed above under “About Richard Brooks” from the film producer to the one listed in EP’s website? https://epbooks.org/product/the-song-of-songs-by-richard-brooks/ . Quoting from there: “ Richard Brooks studied theology at Cambridge and trained for the Christian ministry at Bristol. His pastorates included York Evangelical Church and The Dales Evangelical Church, Matlock. Married to Jennifer, they have four married sons and many grandchildren. Now retired, they live in Bromsgrove, where they are members of Welcome Hall Evangelical Church, Catshill.”
- I have put in a request for this to be corrected. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
- No update to the bio yet.
- How does this differ from another video product with the same title and author? https://www.logos.com/product/185452/basics-of-biblical-hebrew-video-lectures
- That other product that you mention is the third edition of this work, while this one is the first edition.

- I also wondered about this, as it is not really explained. However, if you go to Zondervan's YouTube page, there are two versions of the first chapter there, an older one and a newer more modern and effective one. My guess is that this explains the two versions on Logos as well, although I have only purchased the more modern one. Perhaps I am wrong, but it does fit. Below is a link to the older version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIfLf_ffDyw&t
- I suppose the third edition video lectures are the same as these on Zondervan Academic’s website too: https://zondervanacademic.com/products/basics-of-biblical-hebrew-video-lectures1
- According to “Preface to 4th edition”, the changes are: 1. bibliography update; 2. move bible verse citations to end of sentence/paragraph; 3. update bible text from NIV 1984 to NIV 2011. I decided to stick with the 3rd ed and save 6 bucks.
- Hi, Dave. This site reports publisher's specials. Unfortunately, A. does not always honour the price in all regions. Even so, there are some very good offers. I would still pay the extra for commentaries & other reference materials in Logos, but some of the other books don't seem to have any value for inclusion in the library, and may be slowing down indexing. https://gospelebooks.net/ You can create an email subscription to receive the offerings 5x per week.
- In this book, just the short 1-page section on “Our common hermeneutical” on pages 72-73 contains 24 Bible reference links. If I was reading it on Kindle, I would have to look each up on a separate app, or just skip over all the Bible links in which case I would not have a good idea of what the author was talking about. That’s where I find Logos useful for reading this book, even though it is not a commentary or a reference material, but a book that teaches me how to read the Bible by using real Bible references to illustrate different principles. I have a lot of medical books in Kindle but for my Christian books, because most of them contain Bible reference links, I prefer reading them on Logos or other similar apps.
- Thank you. I had not really thought about that. I had just gotten used to doing the look ups when I wanted to check, because that is what I had to do when I could still read paper books.
