eric in redding Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Did I wait to long to buy the first edition? Or can I still get it? I do not see it available anymore on the website! Seeing as how the editions are so different I want both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Mansfield Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Eric, the first edition is still available in the Advanced & Ultimate Collections for the time being. But if you don't want to upgrade your entire collection, call sales at (877) 339-5855 and see if they can still sell you the individual title.

Λύχνις Δαν Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hey Rick, This raises an interesting question. For those who do have the now old edition, if they need to download again from Easy Install how do they do that ? Thx D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Mansfield Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 It should still be there for you. Delete it and see if you can still download it. C'mon--be brave :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Λύχνις Δαν Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Ah ok good to know - when I'm bored - I've just being rebuilding a Semitic transliteration keyboard for Windows - enough bravery for one night. ThxD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokas Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 My question: If I purchase the upgrade (for $15), will I keep both versions, or the old one will be gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) both, I purchased the update. Edited January 13, 2015 by Fabian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric in redding Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 I called in and was able to purchase the IVP2 bundle. Phew! Disaster averted. I really like the first edition. I should not have held off for so long in buying the Accordance version (I have the hardback). Thanks for the suggestion Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rokas Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 and by the way guys, it's really sweet you offered this 2nd edition with 90% new content so cheap! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unix Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 How much references does it (the 2nd Edition) have to Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Λύχνις Δαν Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) 10 hits in each edition for a simple search for Sirach. 4 to Ecclesiastes in 1st and 2 in the second. thx D Edited January 17, 2015 by Daniel Semler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unix Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Ecclesiasticus, not Ecclesiastes: 4 to Ecclesiastes in 1st and 2 in the second. Sounds rather little so I'm unsure it would be worth it to buy this dictionary. I have no Bible dictionaries in Accordance except whatever came with the small Library 8 and 10 that I have.

Rick Bennett Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Forgive me, but that doesn't seem like a good reason alone not to buy this resource. I recommend you check it out in more detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Λύχνις Δαν Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I actually own three editions. The print one by Hastings which inspired it. They all have different content. As they are based about the gospels I do not follow why Sirach should figure especially highly. Thx D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unix Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 OK, I took my chances and bought the 2nd Edition 4 seconds before the introductory offer ended, without seeing the Amazon reviews. Amazon product pages load extremely slow - it can take hours to load one since my internet broadband (which I don't pay) is extremely slow. There are extremely few references to Anglican, very few to Catholic, these results disappoint me. "Gnosticism" is referenced somewhat much - have not yet had the time to evaluate what kind of results those are. Haven't had time to search for mentions of specific authors though. But what thrills me is that when searching "Scripture" "Sir", it gives 209 flex hits. This is actually quite good and what I expected from a Bible Dictionary covering just the Gospels. It's quite necessary to include more of the OT than just the 38 books (excluding Esther which was not found among the Dead Sea Scrolls). This compensates a bit for the lack of denominational articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
