• This is a useful reference tool I bought in print when it came out. It could be even more useful to me in a Logos edition. In print, this is a standard-issue NABRE with additional “Study Bible” material provided by LitPress consisting primarily of a comprehensive in-line cross referencing index to every usage of the Biblical passages in [RC] Church liturgies (lectionaries, LotH, rites). LitPress also includes 21 short liturgy-related explanatory articles across 50 pages of front matter, and brief introductions to each book and major section of the Bible. I do not have the Logos edition, but Logos Study Bibles typically only contain publishers’ editorial material, and this edition likely includes neither the NABRE text nor the NABRE annotations. The first set of LLSB study notes shown in the preview of the Logos edition, covering Genesis chapters 7 through 11, occupy the bottom sections of pages 15 through 19 in the LLSB printed text. It seems like a stretch to call this a Study Bible, but it remains a useful hermeneutic tool as an index into the liturgical use of any given passage of Scripture. However, it would be vastly more useful in Logos edition if/when Verbum fixes the LotH and adds/integrates other liturgical texts.
    1. I bid on this 8 years ago, and it still hasn't hit 50%, even though the projected prepub price is only $7. I hope a flurry of users joins the prepub on this before it gets canceled, because this is one of the handiest OT study tools available. I've had it in print for 30 years, and absolutely love it.
      1. I bid on it, . I hope we get it.
      2. Looks like it made it :-)
    2. This resource came over from Wordsearch, and has been available to Wordsearch license holders in a Logos Research Edition since March of 2021. I don't get why it's still showing up as a prepub in March of 2022?? Dummelow, J. R., ed. A Commentary on the Holy Bible. New York: The Macmillan Company, 1936.

      1. Hello! Many books brought over from WordSearch were not available in Logos beforehand, and were imported in standard eBook format. For books in that situation such as this one, we're creating fully formatted Logos editions for each book and any Logos user who has this book already through WordSearch will receive the updated formatting at no cost. I hope that helps clear things up, but please feel free to reach out to us at cs@logos.com for more info!
    3. This is a neat resource in print, where it is primarily a chronologically rearranged NKJV Study Bible, chock full of historical and contextual commentary sidebars, charts, timelines, etc. Most pages have at least some brief study help, and often much more. The point is to present Scripture as a story unfolding in history, in order to understand it better. A lot is lost in translation to ebook. As is typical with study Bibles, this ebook does not contain the Biblical text, so all you get is the annotations, presented sequentially (according to the proposed chronology, not Bible order). There are Scripture references provided for at least most annotations, but there are no milestones at all (not even page numbers!) so you can't sync this book to a Bible to either scroll the book's notes with your Bible, or scroll your Bible to the order of the book's chronology so as to simulate having the chronologically ordered NKJV. It would be difficult to use this ebook as a chronological study Bible, which was the intent of the print edition.
      1. Hi John, great information. Can you tell us the number of pages?
    4. What is the difference between this edition and the 4th edition (1891), which is already available (and part of the 24-volume English Bible Collection? If Leeser died in 1868, then an edition of his work published in 1891 may very well just be a reprint of his earlier edition...?
      1. Hi John. They seem to be identical. I have a copy of the 1853 in PDF format (available at no cost from Internet Archive so you can also check it out) and compared it to the 1891 version I just purchased from Logos. They have the same designs, dates (including the 1853 date as being the only date in the text itself, i.e., preface), and notes. I am quite a Leeser fan, and so about a year or so ago I also purchased an undated hard copy of the Leeser Bible. The nice thing about the hard copy is that it contains the Hebrew on one side of the page and the English on the other, but my hard copy has none of the footnotes that the Logos 1891 publication has (which seems identical to the 1853 publication). It is easy to miss these valuable footnotes if one is not careful, however.
    5. The "About" bio on this page appears to be for Robert Jenson, not Eric Gritsch.
      1. Nice to see the marketing info for this resource finally clarified. This is the lightly-annotated Reader's Edition of the NJB - really little more than the NJB text itself, presented in paragraphs (the Psalms are formatted as poetry, but that seems to be about it). If all you're looking for is a comparison text using this interesting and understandable dynamic translation, this is the resource you want - and you can't beat the price! However, if you're fond enough of the NJB version to use it as a primary translation, you'll probably want the other New Jerusalem Bible resource referenced above (still in development as I write this), which will be a Logos edition of the Standard edition of the NJB, including the terrific extensive notes and xrefs - and hopefully incorporating some of the page layout formatting that helps make that Bible such a pleasure to use in print editions.
        1. What is this resource, exactly? Is it Wesley's version of the New Testament, along with his Notes on the NT and his Notes on the OT? If so, what is the display relationship between the translation and the notes? Does the translation appear as Bible or as a BIble Commentary?
          1. $19.99 on PrePub for these 3 slim "upgrade" volumes? Really? That's almost half the price of the original resource, containing the entire NT, Gen, Exo, and the RSV2CE text. There are still 39 OT books to go. At this rate, this Study Bible might end up costing well over $200. This is a good series, but it would be nice if there was a way to "top off" the set as the volumes are released at a price point that reflected series-level pricing.I'd be OK with a PrePub price for the OT as a set, which got released as volumes were readied, the way base packages often include licenses for works-in-progress.
            1. Very Good Point
            2. Great point, John. What's more, the first NT volume came out in 2000, so it's going to take close to 20 years to produce this thing! It's certainly a good resource, but that's a long time.
            3. The pricing reflects the price-point of the stand-alone volumes. They retail for $11.95 each. $11.95 times 3 volumes is $35.85. So the Logos price is a savings from the retail price. The NT volumes were similarly priced at around $10 when they were first released (but are now $11.95 each). It was years of having the NT released piecemeal before the whole NT was released together for a considerably lower price than the individual volumes together. You can blame Ignatius Press for the strategy, but it's not that unusual. It's a big project. So either they can wait until the entire Old Testament is ready (financing it out of their own pocket throughout the years of development) and release the final product at probably a much higher price. Or they can release them as they are available, giving quality content to those who don't want to wait while financing the project through to completion. And at the end, they'll be able to bundle it and sell it at a much lower price. So people can wait for the whole Old Testament to be released in order to save money. That's certainly a respectable choice. But you'll be waiting several more years before it's all published. Or else you can be an early adopter and buy them in pieces now, knowing you'll probably be spending $20-$30 a year for the next 5+ years.
