Next version of Logos --AI integration


The next version of Logos will be in a subscription mode!  See here.

 

I try to put it in the following 3 big bullet points according to my own understanding: 
  • It doesn't affect the previous versions or the books you own. Only that the new version includes new features (some are improved ones from Logos 10, like "smart search", "insights"). 
    • The biggest change is AI integration: 
      • helping you to summarize any piece of passages
      • to generate sermon outlines, illustrations and applications etc., depending on the subscription tier.
  • The three subscription tiers (Prices below are early access rates): 
  1. small group prep (Logos Premium)--US$70 each year
  2. sermon prep (Logos Pro)--US$100 each year
  3. academic and original language study (Logos Max)--US$130 each year
Each tiers will come with their own "curated libraries" (bundles of books: 200#, 400#, 500#). 
  • After paying the subscription for 2 years, you can own some of the books (not in a "permanent way") and non-AI features.

Abstract

While the term “Christian republicanism” is known to most historians of the early republic, very few have attempted to explicate its unique theology or to identify its various religious, moral, and even racial permutations in the church. Christian republicanism was much more than just a set of political or social commitments. It was also a loose theological system. This article provides an introduction to Christian republicanism, tracing its beliefs, defining its boundaries, and chronicling its lifespan in the early United States when it flourished in the American mind.

[Kindle sale] Con Campbell on crisis of Evangelicalism

 

  • Jesus v. Evangelicals: A Biblical Critique of a Wayward Movement

Zondervan, 2023

American evangelicalism is at a crisis point.

The naked grasping at political power at the expense of moral credibility has revealed a movement in disarray. Evangelicals are now faced with a quandary: will they double-down and continue along this perilous path, or will they stop, reflect, and change course? And while support of Donald Trump has produced the tipping point of the evangelical crisis, it is not by any means its only problem.

Evangelicals claim the Bible as the supreme authority in matters of faith. But in reality, it is particular readings of the Bible that govern evangelical faith. Some evangelical readings of the Bible can be highly selective. They distort the Bible's teaching in crucial ways and often lead evangelicals to misguided attempts to relate to the world around them. Many Christians who once self-professed as "evangelicals" can no longer use the term of themselves because of what it has come to represent--power-mongering, divisiveness, judgementalism, hypocrisy, pride, greed. Some leave not just evangelicalism but Christianity for good.

Jesus v. Evangelicals is an insider's critique of the evangelical movement according to its own rules. Since evangelicals regard themselves governed by the Bible, biblical scholar Constantine Campbell engages the Bible to critique evangelicals and to call out the problems within the contemporary evangelical movement. By revealing evangelical distortions of the Bible, this book seeks to restore the dignity of the Christian faith and to renew public interest in Jesus, while calling evangelicals back to his teaching. Constantine Campbell appeals to evangelicals to break free from the grid that has distorted their understanding of the Bible and to restore public respect for Christianity in spite of its misrepresentations by the evangelical church.

  • Paul and the Giants of Philosophy: Reading the Apostle in Greco-Roman Context


IVP, 2019
Best Price in 30 Days


Biblical Foundations Award Finalist

What forces shaped the intellectual world of the apostle Paul? How familiar was he with the great philosophers of his age, and to what extent was he influenced by them? When he quoted Greco-Roman sources, what was his aim?

Pauline scholars wrestle with such questions in journal articles and technical monographs, but now Paul and the Giants of Philosophy brings the conversation into the college classroom and the church. Each essay addresses Paul's interaction with Greco-Roman philosophical thinking on a particular topic, such as faith, slavery, gift-giving, and the afterlife. And each chapter includes discussion questions and reading lists to help readers engage the material further. Dodson and Briones have gathered contributors with diverse views from various traditions who are united in the desire to make Paul's engagement with ancient philosophy accessible to many readers.
