Daniel Francis Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 The entire NICOT/NT for $599??!! Pinch me, I must be dreaming... ö Wow, these guys at Accordance are amazing... Even I not a huge fan of the NIC will say there are enough excellent volumes in the set to make that a good deal. I just wish I found them as useful as others... -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpang808 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Sweet!! Which ones do you personally like Dan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Francis Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Psalms and Proverbs are both excellent... Genesis is pretty good.... I should spend more time in them but I think i hit sections that don;t speak to me... I know I complained that current Luke didn't speak to me like 1952 Luke... But I will say I have found insight in Luke.... 1 Corinthians really felt very well done to me... those are the ones I have liked off the top of my head.... -Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukfraser Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Tony, what you said got me thinking, as usual! Disclaimer, i havent been to a seminary and dont really have access to academics i can ask so am reliant on libraries, dwindling book shops and forums like this. I was on retreat and had access to a library with a reasonable stack of commentaries. I had an assignment on ecclesiastes and found the wbc commentary useful. As the wbc set doesnt include 1 cor, i decided to get the nicnt in the current sale as have looked at them in the past. Having spent a bit more time with it now, what i think really draws me to wbc and nivac is the way they are structured rather than whether they are conservative or liberal. The contemporary application in the matthew volume doesnt resound with me as the examples are ones i dont really relate to( compared to the luke and john volumes) but i still find gems in the other sections. From the time i have spent with the nicnnt the commentary, it doesnt appear to be as structured. It will be interesting to see how i get on with it when living with it, but i certainly value the structure of the wbc. Hopefully that will be on a really good deal again some time in the future. And yes, as dr j says, it is important to have different resources, but after recently being at a challenging conference, it is also good to take stock of what it is that creates our personal comfort zone and it looks like structure is quite important to me! ;o) Edited February 11, 2016 by ukfraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpang808 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 It may just take some time to get use to! Or like you said it could be personal preference. I've heard a lot of good from all three that you mentioned WBC, NIVAC, NICOT/NT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Sepulveda Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hi Fraser, I was taking a look at the NICNT 1Corinthians index, and it seemed pretty well structured. Well, I did notice some possible sections to fix (which I highlighted in the partial screenshot), but it wasn't like the one I saw in your screenshot.

ukfraser Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Hi anthony, thanks Unfortunately i cant show you in wbc as there isnt a volume and i dont have any nicnnt where i have all three Under e on your screen shot It takes you to the commentary sections but they are not further broken down. (Screenshot below). In wbc each of these sections would be further broken down to translation, form and structure and comments etc so i dont have to read the author's explanation. If you have the nicnt luke commmentary, it may be worth comparing how 4:1-13 is broken down. (Dan kindly sent me the text and it appears in one section and doesnt have the subdivisions that wbc and nivac do. It is translation followed by 'explanation'). This is very much personal preference, but this thread got me thinking about why i feel comfortable with the wbc. ;o) Screen shot of e on my ipad and each link takes you straight to commentary with no further divisions.

Anthony Sepulveda Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Oh, okay, I get it. Well, that would be something to consider adding in future editions, but at least that doesn't make the information any less valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpang808 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 The sale on NICOT/NICNT is amazing! Compared to how much this series usually costs here, other websites, or other software.

jeremyduncan Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Like all series NICOT/NT can be uneven, but it's often my starting point series. http://bestcommentaries.comis somewhat limited but I've found it a useful reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpang808 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 I seen on bestcommentaries.com that NICOT/NICNT is ranked 41 times in the top 3 for the volumes they cover! I'm sure when they complete the whole bible they'll keep increasingly! I've been impressed with this series so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Meiklejohn Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I pretty well suspect the reason for 'Preach the Word' being #1 was the incredible sale price of $99, it was just too good an offer for people to pass over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpang808 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 I've enjoyed using them Anthony! Definitely a great deal. They aren't too technical but have a lot of solid commentary in each one I've used so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
