Free Books

The 12 Days of Logos Sale is a great time to save on resources for your Logos Bible Software library with up to 70% off on commentary collections, Study Bibles, devotionals, and Logos 10 base packages. This includes Reverse Interlinears for a wide range of English translations ($14.95 each) and a wide selection of Study Bibles (all 40% off). There are also more than twenty devotionals and Bible Study books on the list, some priced as low as a few dollars.

Remember that Logos uses “Dynamic Pricing.” This means that they will not charge you for resources you already own. This means that the prices on the sale page might be lower if you already own a few books in the series. This sale is the best time to “complete the series” since the prices will not get any lower. This is a good time to get yourself the gift Santa forgot.

For example, you can complete the NIV Application Commentary for the Old and New Testaments (44 vols). The NIVAC has been part of the Free (and almost free) book-of-the-month promotion so you may have already purchased several volumes over the years. Your price will be 50% off the volumes you do not own. Here are a few examples from the sale:

It’s December, so that means everyone is trotting out Christmas sales.

The Logos Free Book of the Month for December is Thomas Hatina, New Testament Theology and Its Quest for Relevance (T&T Clark, 2013). From the book blurb:

New Testament theology raises many questions, not only within its own boundaries, but also in relation to other fields such as history, literary criticism, sociology, psychology, history, politics, philosophy, and religious studies. But, the overarching question concerns the relevance of two thousand year old writings in today’s world. How does one establish what is and is not relevant in the New Testament? How does one communicate the ancient ideas, presented in an alien language, alien time, and alien culture to a contemporary audience? This book is intended to serve as a methodological introduction to the field of New Testament theology, aimed at a range of readers-undergraduate and Seminary students, clergy, and laypersons interested in the relevance of scripture. It is a guide which aims to help readers understand how practitioners of New Testament theology have wrestled with the relationship between historical reconstruction of the New Testament, and its interpretation in the modern world.

In addition to the free book, Logos is offering deep discounts on these resources:
