The Lutheran Study Bible in LOGOS Format is Now Available!
This is a great week for digital editions of The Lutheran Study Bible. First, on Sunday the Kindle edition of TLSB went live, and now, today, as promised, we now have ready for purchase, The Lutheran Study Bible: LOGOS Edition on CD ROM.
LOGOS software users already know how great this software is for study purposes. First time LOGOS users will discover how LOGOS gives you great access to reading around, and in, and carefully studying on your computer or iPhone The Lutheran Study Bible. Let me describe what The LOGOS edition of The Lutheran Study Bible offers you. The price is $34.99 and it is available directly from CPH.
You receive all the study notes of The Lutheran Study Bible and a complete copy of the ESV Bible, in LOGOS format, quite a value when you consider how much the ESV Bible alone costs in LOGOS format, $40 bucks. With these two resources installed on your computer, you can open up two windows and have the Bible text in one window, TLSB study notes in another window, and the windows “track” together as you move around in either the Bible text, or the study notes. Plus, if you have additional collections and volumes from CPH in Logos format, such as Luther’s Works, the Book of Concord, the Concordia Commentary series, the massive collection of resources in the Concordia Electronic Theological Library, you can use the TLSB notes and search around in all these other resources, and any other LOGOS edition books you have installed on your computer! It’s really cool stuff. I had a great time exploring and browsing.
The Lutheran Study Bible on CD-ROM includes:
A powerful search engine
Lighting fast search results
Note taking capabilities
Custom toolbars and menus
Navigation aids
Context-sensitive menus
and also includes the ESV Bible text, a $39.99 value
Whether you are an experienced LOGOS user, or new to LOGOS,I encourage you to consider this for use on your computer.
Any current PC platform can use TLSB: Logos Edition, out of the box. Mac users need to have purchased, and installed, the Mac version of the LOGOS engine, or they can use the PC native version under emulation on their Macs. [I still prefer using LOGOS in its PC native format. It works like a charm on my older Intel based iMac under Parallels].
After getting literally countless individual e-mail queries, and countless blog, Facebook and Twitter questions on this, I’m probably more happy than anyone that this now out and you can finally get it. Enjoy, and God bless!
I know you all have numerous software available, already, but I am wondering if you will be making a Treasury of Daily Prayer module for Logos. I think it would be great to have TLSB, Concordia, & TDP all on my laptop.
We’ve considered that, but we have turned out attention to the Kindle and iPhone app versions instead. I’m not sure that there would be enough buyers of a LOGOS edition of TDP to justify the expense. I suppose we could take pre-orders and if we get enough to pay for it, we could do it. We’ll consider that.
Yeah, it was just a thought. Initially, I was pretty deadset on getting Kindle versions of everything for my Kindle. Now, I am reconsidering in favor of the LOGOS versions of TLSB and Concordia. I have always wanted LOGOS software, and the way it sounds, I can build onto the LOGOS library with additional modules as my budget allows. Well, as Meatloaf, the singer, says, “two out of three ain’t bad.” : )

I’ve been considering breaking open the piggy bank for an iPad and I’m absolutely giddy at the thought that I could be sitting in Bible study some day soon with the “Essential Lutheran Library” available at my fingertips on a half inch slab.
I’m only vaguely familiar with the different formats, so I’m wondering if someone with more experience might be able to offer some advice regarding the pros and cons of Knidle vs. LOGOS when considering building an electronic library.
I came here to ask the same question, if TDP would ever be made available for LOGOS. I have no intention of ever purchasing a Kindle, as it is pretty much a “unitasker”. I don’t have them in my kitchen, and there’s little room for them in my briefcase (or wallet) either. I am purchasing a hand held computer from HP that can have Logos/Libronix on it. I know, there is an application that makes Kindle products readable on a computer, but I already have a program that lets me read books on my computer, what do I need with another one? Please reconsider this.
We can certainly consider it, but at this point we are not planning to release TDP in LOGOS. The Kindle form of the book can be used across multiple platforms, including our forthcoming HP computer, I’m sure, if it is running Windows.
Let me once more underscore this very important point:
You absolutely do not have to own a Kindle device proper to use the titles available in Amazon’s Kindle store!
And via the bookmarking function, we feel it does make the content available digitally to people. Further, we’ll have the iPhone/iTouch and iPad app up and running by July of this year.
Amazon has a free Kindle for PC download.
Yes, they do. They have released Kindle software for the iPhone/iTouch/iPad, which is available from the App store in Apple’s iTunes.
They have released Kindle software for PC and Mac computers, which is available from Amazon.com, just click on their Kindle section and you can download the software from Amazon for your computer, laptops, netbooks.
There is Blackberry Kindle software too, and you can read about that on Amazon’s site.
Has the LOGOS supply already been depleted? I ordered TLSB LOGOS software the other day along with Concordia LOGOS and the Heirs of the Reformation CD. However, my email says that only Concordia and the Heirs of the Reformation have shipped. The site said “in stock,” too. I’m just curious what is up.
Hi Josh, not to worry, I’m sure it will be headed your way early next week.
