NLT Cornerstone Commentary freebie from Logos and the Study Bible is here (at least mine is):
Wanted to give you a quick head’s up about a promotion that Logos Bible Software is doing. For a limited time they are giving away a free Cornerstone Commentary – no strings! They will be publishing the entire series eventually (it’s not complete yet, these things take time. You try getting a bunch of scholars to get their work turned in at the same time – it’s not like we can give them an assignment for their term papers. Well, maybe it is and this is completely breaking down but be that as it may – it takes time).
Logos will be bundling the commentaries together into a couple of groups. Currently they are in pre-pub for a set of 9.
Also, don’t miss their new blog here. Also, don’t forget that they are producing a version of the NLT Study Bible that you can order here or find at your local Christian bookstore.
By the way, I finally have the deluxe editions of the SB on my desk and I gotta say they look great. Now I have to figure out which one I want. I am dying to talk about it more, but I will leave that to Sean and his Seminar on the Study Bible TONIGHT. I have seen him explain it and work through a couple of passages on several occasions now and he will not disappoint. I can’t not say anything though. I am not a study Bible guy usually. Give me a text Bible, a good Concordance, like say this one, a couple of commentaries for the book or books I am reading (how do you do Mr. subliminal in a blog? – cough*Cornerstone*cough – his keyboard muttered in a different font) and maybe a backgrounds book. That being said, I want this Bible. I probably won’t carry it to church because 1) it’s big, no two ways about it, and 2) it would be too distracting during the sermon and while I am pretty good friends with the pastor of my church I don’t think he would be too appreciative. I can be pretty discrete though . . .

Kevin, have you talked at all with Oak Tree Software about bringing the Cornerstone series and the NLTSB to Accordance?

Rick,
We have not had an official discussion with them yet. This is on our radar screen now, however. I have talked with the person on our team who is in charge of software and she is pursuing. When I have more info that I can share I will. Frankly this was a bit of an oversight on our part - I wasn't aware of Accordance until well after our ability to get a version out before the launch (sorry, I'm not quite cool enough to be in the Mac world yet, working on it though).
If you want access to the Cornerstone commentaries on your Mac, you may want to check out our Mac version. Beta 1 may be out later today. 9,000+ resources coming to the Mac!
Phil, I've been following Logos/Libronix alpha/beta since its release. I have downloaded the free Cornerstone commentary into it and have already been busy converting it over to an Accordance user tool. But I still encourage Tyndale to make the series available in Accordance format natively. I don't want to manually convert each volume.
