Your Bible Study Companion

| Wed, January 4, 2012 | Products

How often have you wished you had a biblical scholar on speed dial, someone you could call twenty-four hours a day when you are stuck on a difficult passage in the Bible? The Eerdmans Companion to the Bible is perfect for moments like these, and for a limited time, you can get it on Pre-Pub for 33% off the retail price.

Since the Bible was written over a period of more than 1,000 years, we are bound to run into  language, cultural, and historical barriers. But how do we step over these obstacles and find the meaning of the text? Inside Eerdmans Companion we find the tools we need to become better readers, thinkers, and interpreters of the Bible.

The Logos edition of the Eerdmans Companion to the Bible opens both this resource and the Bible side-by-side, making study more effective. Logos has made Bible study fast and easy, and with the addition of the Eerdmans Companion to the Bible your study can go even deeper. So, if you want to lock in the low pre-pub price of $26.95, head over to Logos.com now and order the Eerdmans Companion to the Bible before the price goes up.

The Filología Neotestamentaria Journal Collection

| Tue, January 3, 2012 | Products

Recently, I wrote about the importance of having access to theological journals in your Logos library. The Filología Neotestamentaria (31 vols.) is a terrific example. Published by the Department of Greek Science Antiquity and the Middle Ages at the University of Cordoba, this is one of the most important journals in print on the New Testament. Now, Logos is making it available for your personal library.

Filología Neotestamentaria is a journal specializing in Hellenistic Greek, the language of the New Testament and Septuagint. Each article concentrates on a Greek-related topic, such as textual criticism, semantics, grammar, lexicography, rhetorical criticism, and semiotics. Filología Neotestamentaria is a must for any serious student of Hellenistic Greek; and when you look at some of the gems it contains, it’s not difficult to see why:

  • “Some Dissenting Notes on R. Stein’s The Synoptic Problem and Markan ‘Errors’,” by David Alan Black
  • “Vague Verbs, Periphrastics, and Matthew 16:19,” by Stanley E. Porter
  • “The Pauline Love Command: Structure, Style, and Ethics in Romans 12:9–21,” by David Alan Black
  • “Studying Ancient Languages from a Modern Linguistic Perspective: Essential Terms and Terminology,” by Stanley E. Porter
  • “How Do Words Mean—If They Do?,” by Johannes P. Louw
  • “The Use of the Definitive Article before Names of People in the Greek Text of Acts with Particular Reference to Codex Bezae,” by Jenny Heimerdinger and Stephen Levinsohn
  • “Literary Artistry in the Epistle to the Hebrews,” by David Alan Black

Now is the time to jump on board and pre-order the Filología Neotestamentaria collection. At the pre-pub price of $99.95, this is a steal—considering that the price for just two volumes is over $100!

This Is It—December Deals End Tonight!

| Mon, January 2, 2012 | Misc.

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!

The Christmas 2011 Master Collection (2,010 vols.)

Let’s Talk! Call Us for a Custom Deal.

| Mon, December 26, 2011 | Misc.

We need to talk.

I don’t know exactly how to say this other than “we can’t figure it out,” but the truth is, with over 17,000 titles, thousands of different publisher licenses/price-points/royalties/geographical restrictions, and hundreds of thousands of unique customer purchase histories, collections, and libraries, we just can’t figure out how to make a one-size-fits-all Christmas sale any longer.

We have certainly been trying, as you can see by how many deals we have going on right now but we know that some of our best customers still feel left out in the cold.

So I’ll say it again. “We need to have a talk. . .” 

No, not a text, email, live-chat, Tweet or Facebook message. . . I mean a “real” talk.

Let’s connect in real time.

If you feel passed over by all our Christmas Specials this year, let’s connect in real time as human beings and pick up a phone for a real conversation where we can learn from each other, discuss how to go deeper in Bible study, and enjoy the pleasure of each other’s company while we serve you and give you the full attention and personalized service you deserve.

We will treat you as an individual and go over your specific account details, purchase history, and product interests to create a Christmas special that is custom-made for you.

This call is not for everyone.

It is a real conversation designed to discover how we can serve you better. There is no set list of offers or products to tell you about—we’ve already given that list out—that’s what the web is for. If you are looking for a discounted shopping list, or just want to know everything we have on sale, carefully look over all the published Christmas Sales that are still available here.

The phone conversation is a two way “conversation,” to see how we can serve you better with a custom special. 

There you have it, we want to serve you. It is as simple as that. Give us a call at 800-875-6467 and we will take care of you. We’ll work with you to create a custom deal for you, and we’ll even count all your purchases made before January 2, 2012 toward the Christmas Credit promotion.

We have backgrounds like you.

When you call a Logos representative, you are not being passed off to a call center 20,000 miles away from us. All our representatives are right here at our headquarters in Bellingham, WA and have backgrounds like many of you. Among our representatives we have a wide variety of life experiences and jobs—everything from pastors, worship leaders, engineers, small group directors, exercise equipment salesmen, news reporters, youth leaders, marketing reps, police officers, graphic designers, children’s ministry leaders, manufacturers, travel agents, teachers, homebuilders, pulpit supply preachers, waiters, legal consultants, basketball coaches, Bible college students, restaurant managers, young adults pastors, real estate agents, missionaries jailed for preaching the Gospel, pastoral care pastors, women’s ministry leaders. . . and more.

And if you need to talk to someone who understands your history with Logos better, we even have reps that have been here as long as eighteen years! 

The mad rush of pre-Christmas shopping is over, the office is quiet and peaceful, and our well-trained, experienced and knowledgeable representatives are ready, willing, and able to serve you now.

Please call us so we may serve you today:

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

If you won’t be able to reach us during this last week of 2011, or you live overseas and timing or costs don’t permit you to make the call, please send an email to sales@logos.com with the details you would have liked to have discussed in our conversation, and we will see what we can do through email.

So let’s talk. Pick up the phone and give us a call.

800-875-6467

How to Create Your Own Logos Wish List!

When you’re signed into your Logos.com account, you’ll find “Add to wish list” links on live product pages (see above), and also on search results.Click these links to build your wish list.

Reviewing  your wish list is as easy as going to your account and clicking on the “Wish List” tab.
