Christmas special: Bible studies library for $400
Posted by Robert C. on December 18, 2007
If anyone’s been looking to make a (significant!) Christmas investment in their scripture library, here’s a very good deal to consider:
Logos is offering a truly remarkable library package for $400. See here. The reason I’m especially tempted is that this package includes 27 volumes of International Theological Commentaries which usually cost over $500 by themselves and—based on my, albeit limited, experience—is a tremendous and rather unique commentary series in that it explores the theological issues of the text, unlike most commentaries which stick more strictly to only historical and textual issues. Note, however, it only covers the Old Testament.
Also included is the 3-volume Exegetical Dictionary of the New Testament, which is worth another $140 or so. This seems to be more comprehensive then most lexicons, but a bit redundant if you already have the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament set.
There are many, many other titles included, many of which also look quite interesting, though many titles seemed geared toward Christian pastors and would probably be of less interest to Mormon students of scripture. Please, Santa, please, please, please?!?!

Merry Christmas, Feast Style
Posted by joespencer on December 17, 2007
I’ll apologize now for not having been able to write up posts on Revelation yesterday or today (there has been too much Work–not work, but Work–to do!). I will be putting up a final post on Revelation tomorrow before leaving town. But in the meanwhile, I thought I’d put up a link to the podcast of the Christmas fireside I delivered last night. I had a great deal of fun with it, and perhaps others will find it of interesting in one way or another. At bottom, it is a very Joe-esque reading of the Christmas story. You can listen to/download it here. Enjoy!
