From the new perspective on Paul to dispensationalism, covenant theology, and theonomy, every major theological issue is impacted by how you think about the biblical law. The problem for many of us is that we are unsure where to start. Dr. Tom...
The Bible was written thousands of years ago. The languages it was written in bear little resemblance to English. The people who wrote it saw the world differently than we do. The culture the Bible emerged from was radically different than the...
I love books. Stop by my house and you’ll see bookcase after bookcase filled with volumes. And maybe you’re like me: a dedicated bibliophile. But today, I’d like to share three things that changed the way I read books forever, from...

Thanks to Mobile Ed, you can sit under the dynamic instruction of professors like Dr. John Walton of Wheaton College from the comfort of your own living room. Dr. Walton has been teaching about the the ancient cultures in which the Bible was written...
The Bible is a big book. Many people read it faithfully every day for years, and still never develop a big-picture view of it. For example: How does the story of the Exodus foreshadow the earthly ministry of Jesus? Why would God direct the prophet...

The Bible is the foundational text for all Christians. We read it, study it, and hear sermons on it, but many Christians don’t think about how we got it. We take for granted the 66 books—39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New—that make up our...
We’ve recently updated several collections to include the most recently published Logos editions! Now’s the best time to get into a new series or to update a collection you already own. Here’s what’s new: Two Horizons Commentary (10 vols.)...

Think about the last suspenseful movie you watched. Remember the music that played just before something (typically bad) was about to happen? Imagine what the movie Jaws would have been like if there wasn’t that deep two-note dah-dum, dah-dum. Half...
No one enjoys sitting through a dull Sunday school lesson, making time for a distracted small-group study, or listening to a dry, complicated sermon. We’re looking for intrigue and excitement—we want God’s Word clearly and fully articulated, so that...

Since the dawn of the Enlightenment, biblical scholarship has grown increasingly skeptical and specialized. Books of the Bible are studied in isolation from the rest of the canon, and scholars are experts in Matthew, Isaiah, or Genesis, rather than...
Let’s face it. The Old Testament can be hard to read sometimes. We’re separated by thousands of years and thousands of miles (at least if you’re at our headquarters in Bellingham, Washington). There are difficult-to-pronounce names, complicated...
If you are looking for trustworthy scholarship pertaining to the Old Testament wisdom literature, you can't go wrong with the six-volume Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Wisdom and Psalms. The poetic and distinctly Hebraic nature of the Old...
