The Baylor Handbook on the Greek New Testament

  |  Fri, January 13, 2012   |  Misc   Comments Off

Logos recently put the Baylor Handbook on the Greek New Testament (BHGNT) on Pre-Pub, and I can’t overemphasize how awesome and useful this series is!

You may come across a difficult grammatical construction or syntactical anomaly in the Greek text of the New Testament, and turn to a critical commentary like the ICC or NIGTC looking for help. While these commentaries will often answer your grammatical and syntactical questions, there are still times where you won’t find the information you’re looking for. This is where the BHGNT shines!

What makes the BHGNT so amazing is how it focuses primarily on matters of grammar, syntax, linguistics, and lexicography. That is to say, it is primarily a philological commentary. But that is not all! The BHGNT also includes cross-references to major commentaries, grammars, Louw and Nida, and BDAG—all easily accessible in Logos 4 with a simple click of your mouse! As a bonus, some of the later additions (i.e. Luke and 1 Peter) interact with the Discourse Grammar of the Greek New Testament, authored by our very own Steve Runge.

Here’s a real-life example of how helpful the BHGNT is. Let’s say that you’re translating Paul’s letter to the church in Ephesus for an intermediate Greek class. You need to identify the uses of participles, infinitives, and important noun cases. You are doing great, but then you hit a wall—you cannot for the life of you figure out in what sense the infinitive ἀνακεφαλαιώσασθαι in Eph 1:10 is being used. Instead of reading through pages of critical commentaries looking for a possible answer, the BHGNT cuts right to the chase and gives you:

ἀνακεφαλαιώσασθαι. Aor mid inf ἀνακεφαλαιόω (epexegetical to μυστήριον 1:9).

The BHGNT is concise and jam-packed with a wealth of valuable philological information, saving you time.

So, if you’ve been looking for a resource that can help you out of a philological jam, then the Baylor Handbook on the Greek New Testament for Logos is exactly what you need!

The John Wesley Collection: A Legacy of Faith

  |  Fri, January 6, 2012   |  Misc, Products   Comments Off

The 29-volume John Wesley Collection tells a story of perseverance, strength, and extraordinary faith.

In June of 1720, John Wesley entered Christ Church College, Oxford. John’s younger brother soon formed a group called the Holy Club, which met weekly. They were named “Methodist” by their fellow students because of the methodical way in which they lived. Wesley and his brother chose to sail upon The Simmonds from Gravesend, Kent to the Province of Georgia in the American colonies with a plan to spread Christianity.

On his voyage to the colonies, Wesley came to know the Moravian settlers. During their travels across the sea, they came upon a massive storm. The mast was ripped off the ship, and while the other passengers worried themselves, the Moravians prayed and sang hymns. Wesley was in awe of their incredible strength and faith. The Moravians left a lasting impression on his heart, and heavily influenced his theology of Methodism.

After spending some time in Georgia, Wesley decided it was not the place for him, so he soon returned to England, determined to earn money for a church. Back in England, he came to admire the evangelist George Whitefield who gave sermons in the open air to people excluded from church. This inspired Wesley to begin offering his own non-traditional sermons, seeking to reach a wider range of listeners. He preached in fields, houses, and even town halls.

Wesley continued evangelizing until his death in 1791. At this time he had led approximately 135,000 members and 541 itinerant preachers to Methodism. His legacy still resonates through Christianity today, and his writings remain a source of exhortation and teaching to evangelicals around the world.

The Logos Bible Software edition of the John Wesley Collection allows you to perform in-depth searches on all 16,951 pages so that you get the most out of your Bible study, sermon preparation, and research.

Key Features

  • All 14 volumes of his collected works
  • Complete and authoritative eight-volume journal
  • The four-volume Explanatory Notes, Wesley’s complete commentaries on the entire Bible
  • In-depth biography
  • Essays, letters, sermons, grammars, psalms, hymns, and addresses.

The John Wesley Collection is valued at $882.24, but you can pre-order it today at the incredible Pre-Pub price—a savings of 77%! That brings the cost down to less than $7 per book.

This Is It—December Deals End Tonight!

  |  Mon, January 2, 2012   |  Misc   Comments Off

Bringing you this year’s Christmas sales has been a blast. Between offering deep discounts on powerful resources, a return of last year’s Christmas collections, and offering it all with credit back on future Logos.com purchases—this has been a real fun ride. But it all ends tonight.

All 12 Days of Logos products, base package discounts, Christmas collections, and opportunities for Christmas credit will disappear at 11:59 PM (PST).

Here are a couple of last minute things to be mindful of in regards to Logos’ December Deals:

You Can Search Logos.com by Price Range

Our Christmas Credit promotion returns a greater percentage of your December purchases in Logos.com credit based on how much you spend. If you spend more, you earn more.

Tiers You Spend We’ll Match You’ll Earn
Tier 1 $10–$99.99 15% $1.50–$15
Tier 2 $100–$499.99 20% $20–$100
Tier 3 $500–$999.99 25% $125–$250
Tier 4 $1,000–$2,499.99 30% $300–$750
Tier 5 $2,500–$4,999.99 40% $1,000–$2,000
Tier 6 $5,000+ 50% $2,500+

We did a blog post before Christmas which showed you how to search Logos.com by price range. Searching by price range is helpful if you are looking for another purchase to bump you into the next tier.

Let’s say you needed another $127 to get into Tier 5 to save an extra 10% on all your December purchases. You could enter price:[125 TO 130] into the Logos.com search engine, and see every product we sell between $125–$130!

We Will Be Open Tonight until 9:00 PM (PST)

We are expecting a lot of calls today, and we want to be able to help each one of you. You can call to speak to one of our representatives by 9:00 PM (PST)!

  • USA & Canada: 800-875-6467
  • UK Discounted: 0871-218-1700
  • International: (360) 527-1700

Take Advantage of Payment Plans

We have hit this point pretty hard the last couple weeks. But to be completely honest, this might be the most amazing aspect of the Christmas promo. To be able to purchase something like The New International Commentary on the Old and New Testament (40 vols.), which you might have had your eye on for a while, take up to 12 months to pay for it, and get over $475 to spend at Logos.com (even before your original purchase has been paid off) is pretty impressive.

Don’t Forget to Sign Up

You may have thousands of dollars in Logos.com credit coming. If you have neglected to sign up, we are not going to be able to give it to you. Make sure you are signed up!

We Will Start Processing Credit January 3

If you have signed up for Logos.com credit and have made qualifying purchases, you will be receiving a preliminary email soon!

So check out the December Deals one last time, because they disappear tonight!

Huge Sale on the 20-Volume NIV Application Commentary: New Testament

  |  Tue, December 20, 2011   |  Misc   Comments Off

It’s the eleventh day of the 12 Days of Logos, and we have quite a deal for you. The 20-volume NIV Application Commentary: New Testament is now available for only $249.99! This is nearly 50% off the retail price of $477.99. In fact, right now the NIV Application Commentary is even 35% cheaper than our usually great sale price.

The NIV Application Commentary: New Testament is unlike any other commentary series. Not content to simply focus on application of the biblical text, this series seeks to actually work through the process of moving from the original meaning of the text towards it contemporary significance. It would be a mistake to see the NIV Application Commentary as devotional literature. The ultimate goal of this series may be application, but that doesn’t stop these commentaries from being credible reference material.

The Application Commentary: New Testament series includes insights from a host of  such luminaries as Darrell Bock, Douglas J. Moo, Craig Blomberg, and Craig Keener. Each author in the NIV Application Commentary breaks their exegesis into three sections:

  • Original Meaning: This section helps you grasp the author’s intended meaning by looking at the biblical passage’s historical, literary, and cultural context.
  • Bridging Contexts: In this section, the commentary wrestles with discerning the historical aspects of the passage which have direct twenty-first century correlations—and those which do not. This section focuses on drawing out both explicit and implicit parallels.
  • Contemporary Significance: By looking at contemporary issues and contexts, the authors of the NIV Application Commentaries confront modern readers with ideas and principles as powerful and challenging as the Scriptures would have been to its original audience.
Here is what people are saying about the series (check out the product page to see even more endorsements):

The NIV Application Commentary series doesn’t fool around. It gets right down to business, bringing this ancient and powerful Word of God into the present so that it can be heard and delivered with all the freshness of a new day, with all the immediacy of a friend’s embrace.
—Eugene H. Peterson

It is encouraging to find a commentary that is not only biblically trustworthy but also contemporary in its application. The NIV Application Commentary will prove to be a helpful tool in the pastor’s sermon preparation. I use it and recommend it.
—Charles F. Stanley, pastor, First Baptist Church of Atlanta

The NIV Application Commentary series promises to be of very great service to all who preach and teach the Word of God.
—J. I. Packer, Regent College

If you pick up the NIV Application Commentary: New Testament during the Christmas 2011 sale, not only will you get a great deal these powerful commentaries, but you are going to earn at least $50 back to spend on Logos in 2012!
