Bill | Bill, you and I are both too ignorant here. They tell me that my Complete Works of Van Til are hyperlinked to Barth's Church Dogmatics in over 6,000 places. That would seem to be of some advantage if I wanted to instantly jump from Van Til to Barth. However, if my goal is simply to read a person, for example, Warfield, using either Ages or the PBB version for Libronix would work.
Searches in Libronix include the PBB books in your library and seem to work as quickly as they do on regular Logos produced books. A "passage search," however, however will not automatically include a PBB commentary in its search.
The key is to include your PBB resources in one of your "collections." That way you can search the collection to effectively access your material. For example, I got John Flavel for free from Still the Truth. It included a half dozen or so of his books. These appear both in my John Flavel collection and my Puritan Collection. I am able to search either collection to find Puritan (or John Flavel) hits. In fact, Libronix took less than a second to produce 211 hits on "wisdom" in the half dozen books in my Flavel Collection. |
"We are both too ignorant" about matters in general or concerning the advantage of Logos Libronix over PPB Libronix books or that we've purchased Logos books that are out in PBB?
Thanks to Chris P. and the PBB updater link, I have almost finished downloading half a GB of PBB materials. Dennis, if I understand you correctly, having the Logos Libronix books would not be greatly more beneficial than having the PBB books.
It would be interesting to compare both versions of the same source to determine just what one practically gives up with PBB's. Of course, many PBB's are not out in the Logos version, but that's different. What I would like answered is this: For someone not involved in academia (because Logos has a good documentation feature, as I understand it) why buy the Logos version of, say, Owen, Edwards, Kuyper, or Warfield, if you can download the PBB for free?
BTW (OT): What's the secret to getting instant e-mail notification to work? I have no problem on other forums, and I have it set up in my User CP, but I do not receive them.
