A.T. Robertson's 6-volume "Word Pictures in the New Testament"

After chatting with an Accordance representative, he confirmed that the version of A.T. Robertson's "Word Pictures in the New Testament" offered by Accordance is the "concise-edition" rather than the full 6-volume edition. While some may prefer the concise edition, I would like to request the full 6-volume edition be added to Accordance (I think others who use this software would also prefer the full version, but perhaps I'm mistaken in this). Perhaps someone knows why this has not already been done? After all, why going to the trouble of adding the concise edition instead of going for the gold by adding the full 6-volume edition?

Maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t understand why the Accordance representative said that Accordance has the Concise Edition. If you compare Matthew 1:1 in the Accordance edition with the Concise Edition using the Amazon preview (see link below), you can see that the Accordance edition has much more detail than the Concise edition, and looks identical to Matthew 1:1 in the 6 Volume Edition as seen in the ChristianBook preview (see link below).

It’s true that Accordance has all 6 volumes in one module instead of 6 modules, but from what I’ve seen of the Concise Edition  preview, the Accordance version doesn’t look abridged at all.

So did the Accordance representative make a mistake in saying that Accordance has the Concise Edition, or am I missing something?

Yes, I believe that was a mistake. If you look at the ToC, you see all 6 volumes listed.

It was the picture associated with the product that made me question the version (the pic is of the concise edition). That's why I initiated a chat session with Accordance. However, after reading the responses to my intitial post, I decided to go ahead and take the chance that it really is the 6-volume edition (after all, it was only $9.90, but I just didn't want to bother with it if it was the concise edition). As it turns out, it is indeed the 6-volume edition, NOT the concise edition. The person I chatted with was mistaken. Not sure who to contact about getting them to change the pic associated with the product, but it needs to be changed to reflect the 6-volume edition. :)  

 

So, nevermind . . . Accordance actually does already offer the 6-volume edition. Thanks! :D
