Love the commentary thought the Bible would be included since it is in the book.

What the product page (for whatever reason) forgets to mention: this is a "Lutheran version" of the NIV Study Bible, which again is probably by far the global bestseller of study bibles, but not available in Logos. This version follows the original 1985 NIV SB (see product details - the 1973 date above is wrong) and has an additional short Lutheran introduction per book ("Grace in XX") and a quote from Luther concerning each book. The NIV study notes have been largely kept intact, but edited in some cases to better reflect Lutheran theology (soteriologically now leaning more towards election/predestination). Notes edited are tagged with a dagger symbol. Most often, the edits are small. The Concordia SB contains about 15 charts from the NIV SB, unfortunately no maps. Nevertheless it is a great resource in itself _and_ as close to NIV SB as you can get in Logos, thus I give it five stars. Make sure to buy the collection which will give you a great rebate on the Study Bible for taking a Lutheran commentary for free!
