The Value of the Perseus Collection (via Theological Musings)

Nicely argued.

The Value of the Perseus Collection  I am sure most of you who read this blog know by now that Logos is gearing up to publish the massive Perseus Collection. I am still in shock that they are releasing all of this for free! Soon we will have at our fingerprints a wealth of information that can help shed light on many historical, cultural, and grammatical issues. So, if you haven’t yet jumped over to the pre-pub page at Logos I suggest you do that pronto! (but finish reading this fi … Read More

That’s the part that interests me!

Just now, Logos Bible Software has put on their pre-publication page some amazing resources that any historian should jump on.

Michael Holmes is Fielding Questions on the SBL GNT on Facebook

Posted on by

This email arrived today and I’m happy to pass it along-

Jim,

I’ve been following the discussion on Zwinglius Redivivus about the SBLGNT. I figured you might want to know that SBLGNT Editor Michael Holmes will be answering any questions posted in the Facebook comment thread we just started (http://on.fb.me/cvil0X).  We thought it would benefit the textual criticism community more to move some of the conversation to one place rather than have Dr. Holmes troll the internet for comments and opportunities to provide feedback.  He’ll be watching the thread for questions all week and post detailed replies on Tuesday the 16th at 10 a.m. PT.  The sooner questions are posted, the more time he’ll have to give a thorough reply. Thought you might want to help get the word out. This should help people understand more about SBLGNT and the role it can/will play in biblical scholarship.

The Logos Press Release Concerning their SBL Greek New Testament

Posted on by

I discussed my perspective on it back at the end of October.  I’ve since downloaded the BibleWorks 8 version and think it quite useful; though, so far as classical textual criticism is concerned, the SBL Greek New Testament is, again, merely a collection of witnesses to witnesses.

The Society of Biblical Literature and Logos Bible Software announced today the release of The Greek New Testament: SBL Edition (SBLGNT), a critically edited Greek New Testament.

For the first time ever, students, teachers, pastors and laypeople throughout the world can access a reliable, critically edited version of the Greek New Testament for free electronically. And because the SBLGNT has a generous end-user license agreement and doesn’t require proprietary fonts, users can easily interact with and share the text at no cost.

With the work of textual criticism far from complete, there is a continual need for fresh research and analysis. The SBLGNT, edited by Michael W. Holmes, utilizes a wide range of printed editions, all the major critical apparatuses, and the latest technical resources and manuscript discoveries to establish the text. The result is a critically edited text that differs from the Nestle-Aland/United Bible Societies text in more than 540 variation units.

In addition to the free electronic edition, the Society of Biblical Literature and Logos Bible Software also offer a reasonably priced, professionally produced print edition of the SBLGNT, which includes the full apparatus of variant readings from the NA27 and the four primary editions on which the SBLGNT is based.
