Someone was asking on another thread today about the IVP OT Dictionaries. IVP has announced a Second Edition of the Jesus and the Gospels dictionary, due in print this fall... I understand it takes a while sometimes for print editions to become available in Accordance, but I'm wondering if there are plans to offer this second edition?

 

IVP's description of it says, "Over ninety percent of the articles have been completely rewritten, and the rest thoroughly revised and updated." Based on posts I've seen in past forums from Accordance staff, I'm guessing owners of the first edition would not receive an upgrade discount to the second edition? (I think I saw a post using the analogy that a print owner would not upgrade editions for any kind of discount--they'd have to go out and buy the second edition at regular price if they wanted it.)

Publishers tend to delay electronic distribution until after the print edition is released. So, it's a little early to know details on this. Generally speaking I don't see any reason why we won't get it eventually.

Great! In some ways, I'm glad for the delay, since I can still have the most up-to-date version of that dictionary, which I just finally bought in Accordance.
