If you’re looking to purchase a base package, now is the time. Through May 20, you’ll save 15% on any base package purchase. Just use coupon code SPRINGSALE at checkout to get your discount.

A massive library at a remarkable price

Not only is buying a base package a great investment—when you look at the pure volume of resources you’re getting, it’s an incredible deal.

For example, Gold contains nearly 1,100 resources. If the average book spine is about 1 ½ inches wide (and many of these resources are much larger), this library would stand nearly 138 feet tall—8 feet taller than Brazil’s Christ the Redeemer statue! That’s a library your home office most likely wouldn’t fit, a library that would cost you thousands of dollars in print—about $21,000, to be exact. Just imagine adding the additional 900 resources in Diamond (a $52,500 print value total), or the additional 1,400 resources in Portfolio (a $78,000 print value total).

With Logos 5, not only are you getting volume and value; you’re getting a custom-built library created for better Bible study. We’ve handpicked the most useful, in-depth commentaries, lexicons, language and grammar tools, and more to make sure you’re getting the most value for your money. Instead of trying to pull together the perfect library piece by piece, pick from one of our carefully crafted base packages. There’s a library that’s right for everyone.

Make the most out of your library

Normally, it would be nearly impossible to search your entire library for a passage or topic—but not with Logos 5, which allows you to search your entire library in seconds. Not only that, it makes your resources even more useful with features like:

• Timeline
• Clause Search
• Bible Facts
• Sermon Starter Guide
• Search Suggestions

Last year, we remembered his birthday with 10 dynamic quotes. Here are 10 more powerful quotes, taken from his “Be” series of commentaries.

1. “Each member in the body of Christ is important (1 Cor. 12:12–31), and we all need one another and to minister to one another. Since there’s no competition in the work of the Lord (John 4:34–38; 1 Cor. 3:5–9), there’s no need for us to promote ourselves. The important thing is that God receives the glory.” from Be Available: Judges

2. “‘Christ died,’ is only a fact in history, like ‘Napoleon died.’ The Gospel message is that ‘Christ died for our sins’ (1 Cor. 15:1–4, italics mine).” from Be Comforted: Isaiah

3. “Impatience was one of Israel’s besetting sins, and God was helping them learn patient obedience; for it’s through ‘faith and patience’ that God’s people inherit what He has promised (Heb. 6:12). God is never in a hurry. He knows what He’s doing, and His timing is never off.” from Be Strong: Joshua

4. “When believers have a godly ministry that exalts the Lord and obeys the Word, they are only too glad to bring their tithes and offerings to support it. A worldly ministry that seeks only to fulfill its own ambitions does not deserve the support of God’s people.” from Be Determined: Nehemiah

5. “If people can be sensible about these everyday matters, why can’t they be sensible about eternal matters, especially since the consequences are much more tragic?” from Be Decisive: Jeremiah

6. “The biggest thieves of all are the lazy people who could work but won’t, the people who consume what others produce but produce nothing for others to use. The ‘sluggard’ and the ‘slothful man’ are mentioned at least seventeen times in Proverbs, and nothing good is said about them.” from Be Skillful: Proverbs

7. “‘Be still, and know that I am God’ (Ps. 46:10) is a wonderful antidote for a restless spirit. The Hebrew word translated ‘be still’ means ‘take your hands off, relax.’ It’s so easy for us to get impatient with the Lord and start meddling in matters that we ought to leave alone. He is God, and His hands can accomplish the impossible. Our hands may get in the way and make matters worse.” from Be Committed: Ruth & Esther

8. “There is true consolation in our faith, but it is not dispensed in convenient doses like cough medicine. It can be shared only by those who know what it’s like to be so far down in the pit that they feel as though God has abandoned them. If you want to be a true comforter, there is a price to pay; and not everybody is willing to pay it. Paul wrote about this in 2 Corinthians 1:3–11.” from Be Patient: Job

9. “For some people, life may be monotonous and meaningless; but it doesn’t have to be. For the Christian believer, life is an open door, not a closed circle; there are daily experiences of new blessings from the Lord. True, we can’t explain everything; but life is not built on explanations: it’s built on promises—and we have plenty of promises in God’s Word!” from Be Satisfied: Ecclesiastes

10. “The fact that God devoted an entire book of the Bible to the subject of holiness would indicate that it’s an important subject, one that we dare not ignore.” from Be Holy: Leviticus

You can find all these quotes in the 27-volume Warren Wiersbe’s Old Testament “Be” Series, a powerful and readable commentary collection. The “Be” series expounds on Scripture in Wiersbe’s pastoral voice—it’s as much devotional literature as it is verse-by-verse illumination.

We also have the Warren W. Wiersbe Collection (17 vols.) on Pre-Pub. This collection is packed with enriching books like:

• 50 People Every Christian Should Know: Learning from Spiritual Giants of the Faith
  
• The Bumps Are What You Climb On: Encouragement for Difficult Days
• Old Testament Words for Today: 100 Devotional Reflections from the Bible
• And 14 more

For example, the Lexham Bible Dictionary, the world’s most advanced Bible dictionary, is getting bigger and better. And since the Lexham Bible Dictionary comes with the Faithlife Study Bible, this means the FSB is getting bigger and better, too.

We’re excited to announce the addition of 58 new articles to the Lexham Bible Dictionary. This update includes articles written by scholars such as Alan J. Hauser, Douglas Stuart, and many others.

These articles cover topics like war in the New Testament, sacrifice in the Old Testament, biblical languages, the history of Mesopotamia, and more. Since October, we’ve added over 150,000 words, making the Lexham Bible Dictionary over 1.7 million words total—all currently free of cost.

How to find Lexham Bible Dictionary articles

As you’re reading in your Faithlife Study Bible app, you may see an icon in the study notes, like the one next to the word “Parousia” in the image below.

That icon indicates that a Lexham Bible Dictionary article on this topic is available. This article happens to be one of the articles included in this update. When you click on it, the article shows up in the notes section, on the bottom half of your screen.

The Lexham Bible Dictionary is currently completely free, along with the Faithlife Study Bible. If you already own the Faithlife Study Bible, simply update your app to receive the new articles.

If you don’t have the free Faithlife Study Bible yet, download it today.

That’s why we’ve decided to create the Spurgeon Commentary: Galatians. When we created this resource, we had a few goals in mind:

• Organize Spurgeon’s work into commentary format, curated and made accessible by verse and chapter
• Tag content—such as illustrations—to make it easier to find in the Logos platform
• Update Spurgeon’s language for readability
• Highlight the content that’s most applicable to a modern audience

If you already own Spurgeon content in your Logos library, you may be wondering why you couldn’t just perform a search in Logos to find what you’re looking for. Of course, a search could turn up some of the same content, but this hand-edited resource provides content that a search would not. For example, the Spurgeon Commentary: Galatians picks up on allusions in Spurgeon’s writing, whereas a search for a particular verse range would find only explicit citations.

This resource also labels whether Spurgeon is writing for an expository, illustrative, or applicable purpose, so that if you’re looking for a particular kind of content, you can find it more easily. It draws together Spurgeon’s substantive comments on a verse and includes links to the source in his writings, so you can get to the original context. This format also works seamlessly with your other commentaries—it’s tagged with the same data types.

There has been so much interest in this resource that it’s already under development—but you still have the chance to get it at the Pre-Pub price.

We would love to make Logos available in every language, but we don’t have the in-house language skills to support more than the Spanish versions we currently offer.

If you’re a bilingual Logos user, we’d like your help in translating our software to your native language.

The plan

Our commitment to you is this: if you and other volunteers translate at least 90% of the software, we’ll publish it. You’ll be able to switch between languages in the program settings. Work on more than 20 languages is already underway; the first ones are German, Dutch, Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Korean, and French.

In addition, we’d like to do complete localization for a handful of languages: translating not only the software itself, but also everything that accompanies it—help files, datasets, web content, and service emails. (Hiring bilingual customer-support staff, too.)

If you’d like to read more about this project, see what Bob Pritchett, our CEO, said in the forums.

What you can do

Translators—we need lots and lots of translators. You don’t have to be a professional translator or programmer. You just need to be willing to invest a little time to translate the software you love into your native language. We’ve partnered with Crowdin.net to keep everything organized on this huge endeavor. If you’d like to translate, visit Crowdin, create an account, and get started.

Editors & localization managers—we’re in search of a few people who are willing to go above and beyond. For each language, we need several people with exceptional language skills to act as editors, double-checking and approving translations. We also need one highly committed translation manager (per language) who can treat this project like a job in exchange for Logos.com credit. If you’d like to help in a bigger way, email Bob directly. Be sure to mention which language(s) you’d like to be involved with, and we’ll get you added to the right list.

Help us make Logos accessible around the world—start translating Logos 5.

In the middle of all these releases, you may have missed the 40-volume collection of commentaries on the Minor Prophets. If you haven’t yet placed your bid, here are six reasons to do so:

1. Add breadth and depth to your scholarship

C. S. Lewis famously wrote:

“Every age has its own outlook. It is especially good at seeing certain truths and especially liable to make certain mistakes. We all, therefore, need the books that will correct the characteristic mistakes of our own period. And that means the old books. . . . Not, of course, that there is any magic about the past. People were no cleverer then than they are now; they made as many mistakes as we. But not the same mistakes. They will not flatter us in the errors we are already committing; and their own errors, being now open and palpable, will not endanger us. Two heads are better than one, not because either is infallible, but because they are unlikely to go wrong in the same direction.”

Even if you normally use more recently written commentaries, it’s still important to listen to voices of the past, and to understand how previous generations of Christians have discerned the meaning of the Bible for their own time and place. This makes it extremely beneficial to round out your library with classic scholarship.

Whether you’re doing academic work on the Minor Prophets or you’re planning a sermon series on Jonah or one of the other books covered in this set, make sure you get this collection to broaden and deepen your research.

2. Get access to all the citations in more modern commentaries

These commentaries have influenced generations of Bible scholars. Even if modern commentaries take a different approach from scholars of the past, there’s no escaping the influence of classic commentaries. Even modern interpretations of the Bible interact with and engage the ideas that were formed in the past.

3. Walk through the hall of fame of classic biblical scholarship

From nineteenth-century greats like F. W. Farrar and Samuel R. Driver to Puritan classics like Jeremiah Burroughs on the book of Hosea, you’ll get contributions from some of the most influential Bible scholars of the past 400 years.

4. Play a part in bringing these works back to life

Most of these books haven’t been published in print for more than a century. They’re either hard to access—rarely available in print, or available only as part of libraries—or hard to use, because they’re available only as scanned PDFs of old print books.

By placing your bid on this collection, you’ll play a part in breathing new life into these works. When we receive enough bids to cover costs, we’ll begin building the new digital editions. Logos resources are built from the ground up and fully integrate with the tools and resources in your library. This brings you more value than you could ever get in print.

5. Take advantage of this incredible price

Right now this collection of 40 commentaries is going for $30, which is just 75¢ per volume. That’s a book lover’s dream!

If you’ve had your eye on one or two of these books in print, you’ll likely pay less for them when you get them as part of this collection—plus you’ll get dozens of additional books.

After this product crosses 100%, it will move to Pre-Pub and the price will jump from the current $30 to $249.95. Don’t miss out on this amazing chance to get 40 commentaries for 75¢ per volume!

6. Get more out of this collection with the Logos edition

It’s an even better deal when you consider how useful these commentaries will be for you in Logos Bible Software. You’ll get access to these commentaries in your Passage Guide, and the commentaries link to other resources in your library—Bibles, lexicons, and more. You’ll also be able to access them on all your devices—your desktop, phone, or tablet. You’ll be able to take notes and highlights, and everything will sync together and stay up to date.

Never miss a deal like this again

Be the first to know about classic commentaries and other works by signing up to the Community Pricing email list. You’ll get a short email each morning with the newest products, so you’ll never miss out on new products at the best prices.

Today’s post is from Morris Proctor, certified and authorized trainer for Logos Bible Software. Morris, who has trained thousands of Logos users at his two-day Camp Logos seminars, provides many training materials.

For 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching Logos users around the globe to get more out of their Logos software. At the heart of that project is a live, hands-on training seminar called Camp Logos.

Perhaps you’ve always wanted to attend, but traveling or scheduling prevented you. The next best thing is to bring the training to you with the Camp Logos Live DVD, now on Pre-Pub. This all-new video training covers Logos 5′s new features, such as:

• Bible Sense Lexicon
• Bible Facts
• Timeline
• Topic Guide

• Favorites
• And much more

This DVD set gives you the same in-depth, practical training offered at the live seminars, available anytime you want. We recorded the training in HD, emphasized key points with teaching slides, and added crystal-clear video screencasts, all highlighted with spotlights and arrows so you can easily follow along.

The hyperlinked menu makes it easy to jump to any section. The control buttons allow you to review any directions you want.

Our video team did an incredible job of assembling this training, so I think you’ll be very pleased with the quality.
