We are excited to announce another round of new releases! These new releases are all on sale as introductory specials through April 2, 2013, so be sure to pick them up now!

Lenski’s Commentary on the New Testament

R.C.H. Lenski’s 20-volume Commentary on the New Testament is praised for the way it throughly handles interpretive issues while applying thoughtful exegesis. Written from a conservative Lutheran perspective, Lenski’s commentary is in-depth and exhaustive, discussing various ways that a passage could be interpreted before offering his own opinion. Lenski was also a dedicated student of Greek, and he carefully addresses the Greek text where it is relevant, making this a great commentary for original language students.

How to Read the Bible through the Jesus Lens

This entry in Zondervan’s popular “How-to” series focuses on having a holistic view of Scripture, where Jesus Christ is the central focus of each biblical book. Michael Williams identifies a succinct theme for each book of the Bible and discusses how Jesus Christ is the embodiment and fulfillment of each theme. Williams also offers suggestions for contemporary implications and convenient summary charts for these themes. You can purchase this resource individually or in a bundle of all four How-To books from Zondervan.

We have some exciting new releases available for you today, along with a couple of introductory specials! Whether you are looking for commentaries, Bible study guides, histories, or theological works, we have you covered!

To start, we have two resources that you will want to pick up by February 18, 2013 in order to take advantage of introductory specials. The first of these resources is the Life in the Spirit New Testament Commentary. In addition to being an excellent one-volume commentary for Pentecostal and charismatic Accordance users, this commentary is great for fans of our Lighting the Lamp podcast, because our own Dr. Timothy Jenney wrote the commentary on the book of Revelation. If you enjoy our podcast and would like to read some of Dr. J's theological insights, you can pick up this commentary for over 28% off until February 18, 2013!

The second introductory special is on The Eerdmans Companion to the Bible. This handbook is a wonderful resource for those who want an accessible guide to the people, places and books of the Bible. This resource also includes over two hundred maps, charts, and graphics that will help bring the text of the Bible to life. Order this resource by February 18, 2013 to receive 25% off the regular price!

In addition to these introductory specials, we have nine other new releases that cover a wide variety of genres and topics.

Photography lovers will want to check out Views That Have Vanished—a collection of 700+ photographs from Israel, Jordan, Greece, and Rome from the 1960’s, taken by David Bivin and published by BiblePlaces.com.

Grasping God’s Word is ideal for those who want to learn how to read, interpret, and apply the Bible for themselves. This resource even includes practical, hands-on exercises that guide students through the interpretive process.

Andrews Study Bible is a must-have for Seventh-day Adventist Accordance users, thanks to its 12,000 study notes and 65,000 cross references. It also includes a unique, linked reference system that highlights major themes of the Bible.

Pastors and counselors should check out Competent to Counsel, and its companion book, The Christian Counselor’s Manual. Both of these resources by Jay Adams deserve a place in the Christian counselor's library.

The Gagging of God is a Gold Medallion Award-winning work by D.A. Carson that addresses the question “Is Jesus the only way to God?” Carson affirms the deep need for the Gospel’s exclusive message in today’s increasingly pluralistic global community.

Jesus Under Fire is a direct response to the Jesus Seminar and the increasing scrutiny over the historical Jesus. Michael Wilkins and J.P. Moreland examine this issue and present evidence supporting a traditional biblical view of Jesus.

History buffs can check out two fantastic works by Ruth Tucker. Parade of Faith is an engaging history of the Christian Church, while From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya is a history of the past 2,000 years of world missions.

We hope you enjoy these new releases, and we look forward to bringing you more great Bible study resources soon!

The 2012 annual meetings for the Evangelical Theological Society and the Society of Biblical Literature wrapped up last week and the Accordance team was glad to be a part of the action. These shows are always a great time to meet a wide variety of biblical scholars, and to show everyone the latest Accordance developments.

Windows Update

Many people were especially interested to see our working demo of Accordance 10 on Windows. It was my first time seeing the Windows version in action as well, and I was impressed by the progress I saw. All of the main searching functions were up and running, and Accordance's trademark speed was in full effect, which is encouraging news for Windows users. We still don't have a more specific release date than 2013, but progress seems to be coming along nicely.

iOS Update

We also had our latest beta of the Bible Study with Accordance app on display. The new 1.6 update should be released to the iOS App Store within the next few weeks. This update includes some more great design enhancements for you to look forward to. Below is a sneak peak of just one improvement—an enhanced night mode with the Slate theme applied throughout all views.
