    Here in 2025 it occurs to me that the last author selected to write a volume in this series may yet to have been born.

      I share everyone's concern about buying a Logos product that has not been published. Every time this happens it shakes my confidence in Logos' credibility (I am also still waiting on EEC volumes), and I wish Logos would just not do it. I do think the remaining volumes will appear sooner than the EEC, but I wonder why Logos doesn't just offer a pre-pup listing. I really don't know if I buy in at the March Madness price or not. For me that means paying $260 (plus tax) for unpublished items. Logos: Please just say no to vaporware.

        Is NOT our full sunk cost investment in logos forever clsim really vaporware? Die or be jailed etc no logos left as i doubt we have inheritance setup rights or we should be able to gift now lisr access and someone ekse benefits. Or give to needy haha We die now our real books live on.. Anyone else recognize this? Jesus could not afford logos.. Begs the question.. Plus i reject hell theory as silly but a good hell is probably you like a gamer wasting lifr on logos vs good works or even you die do logos forever hell thinking heaven haha I have ez 12000 in it and hardly use and zach vulture sees cart and sales attacks while 20 months vig credit..

        How are these volumes different from the already released The Expositor’s Bible: A Complete Exposition of The Bible, in Six Volumes?

          The difference is this will make Faithlife more money. What I do not understand is why could they not put these all in one package where you must purchase each volume individually. Thanks for pointing this out, can go back and delete those I already selected as a pre-pub

        Other than the obvious advantage for German readers, what would this edition of the Talmud offer that does not exist in the Rodkinson or Neusner editions (both of which I already own)?

          I appreciate Dr. Beitzel's (a former professor of mine) filling us in about the process ahead for the remaining volumes. I am confident he has done his work. However, having learned the hard way, I will no longer pay money ahead of time for a yet to be published title from Logos/Faithlife. The risk has not proven worth the reward. Having paid in advance I have waited eleven long years for the Evangelical Exegetical Commentary to be completed and as yet only thirteen (mostly smaller) volumes have been published. So I advise you wait (and wait) until there is a shipping product.

            Very much lookin forward to this biography of one of the best Evangelical exegetes of the 20th century. The prepub price is a terrific bargain.

              Leon Morris was one of the best Evangelical exegetes of the twentieth century. All of his books--exegetical, expository, and theological are worthy to be read and used, not the least this volume on Ephesians. I am looking forward to seeing this in my Logos library.

                I am impressed with this volume as an introduction to Cristian dogmatik Theologie. I am wondering, for the sake of my English-speaking students, if there is a corresponding English Edition?

                These volumes are well worth collecting for the historical perspective they put on the discovery of papyri and the resulting revolution they made on NT lexicography and cultural insights to the nature of the Greek language in a non-literary or semi-literary Koine context. The two Milligan volumes especially make the papyri accessible to non-specialists, even those with minimal Greek. I'd buy the collection for these alone.
