Logos Bible Software Launches Logos 4

Ryan Burns — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:00:51 PST

Logos Bible Software today announced the release of the newest version of Logos Bible Software, Logos 4. Three years in development, Logos 4 is not simply an upgrade to the previous version of Logos, this is a complete re-imagining of what Bible study software ought to be. It is streamlined, powerful, and uncomplicated—it is the perfect tool for everyone from the seasoned scholar to the man or woman simply wanting to get more from his or her time in God’s word.

With far too many upgrades, features, and resources to cover in a single post, you can visit www.logos.com/4 to see what Logos 4 can do to take your study of the Bible to the next level.

The Paul Page: New, improved, and part of the family

Mark Goodacre — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:26:08 PDT

The Paul Page by Mark Mattison has been on the web almost as long as the New Testament Gateway, set up as a site dedicated to the “New Perspective on Paul”. We are happy to announce that the Paul Page has now been updated and relaunched as part of the NT Gateway family of sites. Mark remains on board and he has invited others to get involved with the site too. With a new look, and a new CMS, The Paul Page is set to become stronger than ever. Like the NT Gateway, The Paul Page is hosted by Logos, and the site is already gaining from the partnership with Logos. I would like to thank Ryan Burns at Logos for his excellent work on this project, and add that I have enjoyed the discussions with both Mark Mattison and Ryan Burns on this project.

So please don’t waste any time and go and visit the new Paul Page now. It’s at the same URL, so you don’t need to adjust your bookmarks or your links. But you can now subscribe to the blog, and become a fan on Facebook. I’ll see you there.

Tom Wright & James Dunn on the New Perspective on Paul

Mark Goodacre — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:52:38 PDT

From the horses’ own mouths, Tom Wright and James Dunn introduce the “new perspective” on Paul in one of St John’s College, Nottingham’s ten minute you tube videos. I have added the link to the Paul: Audio and Video page.

While I am at it, you may have noticed that I have been re-ordering some of the pages on the site in order to draw attention to the key website and introductory materials. Thus you will usually find the page on websites and / or introductory materials at the top of given sections. There will be more to come on this front, as we worked to make sure that the NT Gateway is helping all students and scholars of the New Testament, from beginner to advanced.
