I'm disappointed with Logos and the new editors and changes for the ECC. I was never updated on this issue and kept waiting and waiting just to find the bad news. I think that after so many years of waiting for the completion of this series you should had the courtesy of let us know what’s going on.

I notice and enjoy the hermeneutical perspective of the commentators for the initial released volumes. Their theological commitments ARE consistent with the task they were entrusted on each commentary so far. However, since there have been changes in both editors and prospective authors, it is becomimg clear that the new editors and the new authors do *not* all uphold the original commitments for which I paid full price for the series more than a decade ago. It was difficult enough not being able to access the promised commentaries or equivalents with the large sum which I originally paid. But, now, we are gradually discovering to our shock, after all this time, that the new replacement authors/editors do not even represent the same theological exegetical tradition for which we paid! Could this please be addressed in an honourable and honest way for the sake of those who purchased the EEC set in the past in good faith!?

The volumes currently in my library are fantastic. Like everyone else I am concerned about the lack of information coming from Faithlife about the EEC. I quit asking and now I feel like this project has been suspended indefinitely.Terry Thompson

On September 9, 2010, John Dyer wrote the following of the Evangelical Exegetical Commentary (EEC) set: "In 2009, Logos, the company that makes one of the dominant Bible software packages, resurrected the [EEC] project and decided to make it 100% digital with print as a byproduct (they will offer paperback editions, but only in an abridged format)." On June 30, 2012, Zwinglius Redivivus wrote: "The Evangelical Exegetical Commentary is a brand new, 44-volume commentary series which incorporates the latest critical biblical scholarship and is written from a distinctly evangelical perspective. Published by Logos Bible Software, the EEC is the next standard commentary on the entire Bible for evangelicals. Like the Word Biblical Commentary and the Baker Exegetical Commentary, the EEC is written by a team of leading biblical scholars. Contributors to the EEC include Eugene Merril, Edward Glenny, Michael Stallard, Stanley E. Porter, John Oswalt, William Barrick, Eugene Carpenter, Richard Averbeck, R. Dennis Cole, H. Wayne House, and many others." So, folks, it's been since 2009 (or at the very least since June, 2012) that some have waited on the 44 volume set of the Evangelical Exegetical Commentary to be written, published, and downloaded to their Logos Library. To date, 11 of the 44 volumes have been published. While some will say 13 volumes have been published, one will find that four of the volumes published only include one of the two books from the Bible included in what is scheduled for that volume so, in essence, there are nine full volumes published and four 1/2 volumes published. When some have asked for refunds for unpublished editions, their requests have been either denied or ignored. Be careful in buying this 44-volume set since, after repeated requests for information from a number of people, Faithlife/Lexham Press/Logos has been reluctant to provide a publication timeline for the remaining 31 full volumes and 4 1/2 volumes. To date, there are still some volumes that don't even have an assigned writer. Now, you might understand the hesitancy to recommend the full set. On a brighter note, the 9 full and 4 partial volumes that have been written, published, and downloaded by Faithlife/Lexham Press/Logos are outstanding works that should be studied. My recommendation: only purchase published and downloadable resources from Logos. If you want to purchase resources currently unavailable, purchase them as PRE-PUB purchases (so you only pay for them when they are released and downloaded to your library) instead of advance pays like the full 44-volume set of EEC.Mark Maloney

I guess one of the problems is that the money paid 10 years ago (by people such as me) has long since disappeared into the background of faithlife’s running costs, salaries etc. So money expended now by logos on new volumes will not generate as significant a return as if it were a new series. The majority of shipments of new volumes in this series will just be to those who’s money has already been received and spent and so not financially worthwhile.
