I say this in my recent essay “Three Reflections on Evangelical Academic Publishing”:
After finishing my PhD at Trinity, I had some options to teach full-time. But instead I spent four years working full-time on the NIV Zondervan Study Bible. [Read more…] about Announcing the NIV Zondervan Study Bible

I just added it to my library. I already had 25 of the resources in my library (20 in Logos and 5 in other formats). So 34 of the resources are new to my library. Glad to add them.
I think that the best part about knowing New Testament Greek is that it helps you better trace the flow of the argument.
That’s why one of my favorite features in Logos 6 is the propositional outlines. Mark Keaton, the primary author, kindly agreed to answer some questions about his work:
1. Tell us a little about yourself.
My name is Mark Keaton. I graduated with an M.Div. from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2011. For two years, I was the Greek editor of the Bible Sense Lexicon. For the past year, I’ve been the creator and editor of the Lexham Propositional Outlines for Logos 6. And most recently by the grace of God, I’ve been called to be the pastor of Harper Creek Baptist Church in Battle Creek, Michigan. (Our website is a little dated, but we’re working on it!)

(I explain why here and here.)
