Barth's Church Dogmatics: A Review by Jordan J. Ballor
"The Church Dogmatics really represent an undertaking that highlights all of the strengths of Logos Bible Software. What was an unwieldy and often inaccessible resource in print form becomes a powerful tool for critical engagement of contemporary theology. Highly recommended."(more...)

The Works of Cornelius Van Til
"By serving as the moderator for the Van Til email discussion list for 8 years, and the maintainer of www.vantil.info for 6 years, it seems I’ve inadvertently given people the impression that I’m an ‘expert’ on all things Van Tilian. . . . As a consequence, with some regularity I get emails asking me what Van Til thought or wrote on such-and-such a matter. Without the Van Til CD-ROM, my ignorance would be manifest; but with its help, I’m invariably only minutes away from an answer that makes me look like the world’s greatest living authority on the Dutch Calvinist philosopher."(more...)
Logos Bible Software: A Review by Ray Pritchard
"The folks at Logos have created a program that benefits pastors, professors, Bible teachers and Bible students everywhere.

Karl Barth, Church Dogmatics
The New Digital Edition
"This is a wonderfully rich and delightfully user-friendly resource both for general theological readers and for students of Barth. The new digital edition will certainly be a tremendous help in my own future research! With its accessible format, enhanced search capabilities and seamless integration with so many other texts, it will no doubt establish itself as an indispensable resource for the next generation of Barth scholars, and for the wider community of pastors, theologians and students."(more...)
The Master's Seminary Journal: Review of Logos Bible Software 3
"I have used Logos 3—Scholars Library: Gold for nearly ten months in preparation for classes, in preparing sermons, in personal study, and also in focused research for an academic commentary on James. Having migrated years ago to another Bible program, I wondered if Logos could measure up on the scholarly level. I am pleased to conclude that in this version it has not only measured up to the competition, but has surpassed it in many ways."(more...)
