TWO BTS PROFS FEATURED IN NEW BIBLICAL COUNSELING LIBRARY FROM LOGOS
Dr. Howard Eyrich and Rev. Lou Priolo both have books that are part of the new Biblical Counseling Library from Logos. This library is made up of 29 valuable works by these authors as well as Jay Adams, Ed Bulkley, Jerry Bridges, Elizabeth George, and William Hines. A number of these titles are required texts for BTS classes and would be especially beneficially to MA - Biblical Counseling and MDiv students. The prepub price is the lowest price that will ever be available on this collection (even lower than the academic price once it is published).

LOGOS BIBLE STUDY SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT
Information: everyone in seminary has to process information, some doing a better job than others. Books, lectures, lexicons, the Internet, libraries, CDs and videos; all of these and other media have be sifted and sorted through, condensed, restated, quoted, absorbed, refined and sometimes refuted. As a student in the past you may have done this using a notebook and pen, note cards, or maybe a computer. You read, highlighted, clipped, jotted down, dog-eared, and possibly attempted to remember the information you were encountering. Your goal: a finished product. You take the raw materials of information and hopefully produce a finished product of useful information. This is not to ignore the spiritual dynamic, but the processing of information is no less a part of ministry.

Birmingham Theological Seminary (BTS) has discovered an invaluable resource to help our students not only now during their seminary years, but through the rest of their lives in ministry. The Logos Bible Study software is the most advanced and comprehensive Bible study software on the market today. Not only is it software (search, notes, bookmark, graph, etc…) but it is a library as well. Instead of having Calvin’s Institutes on your shelf, you’ll have it in Logos where you can search it for words or Scripture references. Suddenly, a book that before could only be read can now be completely searched in seconds for the topic at hand. This is true for numerous versions of Scripture, commentaries, classical and contemporary books, and other useful resources for those in ministry. Furthermore, the original language tools of Logos allow students who have studied Greek and/or Hebrew to dig deeper than ever, and more quickly. Imagine entering a passage of Scripture and in seconds having every Greek or Hebrew word listed in original order, parsed and defined, with hyperlinks to your lexicons next to them! Yet it will also allow students who know no Greek or Hebrew to actually study in the original language. Through easy-to-use hyperlinks, students can navigate through various texts and gain more information than they could ever imagine. And Logos is fully customizable, allowing you to build your own library the way you want it.

Beginning with the fall semester of 2005, New Master of Divinity (M.Div.) students will be required to purchase the Logos Scholar’s Library or higher. BTS strongly recommends that M.Div. students purchase the Scholar’s Silver Library with the Theological Journals Volume 5 add-on. The additional books in the Scholar’s Silver Library will be extremely beneficial to M.Div. students. There are some titles that are arguably worth, by themselves, more than the price difference. The Theological Journals Volume 5 will be extremely valuable to any student during the research process. This add-on has over $4000 worth of journals including Biblioteca Sacra from 1934-2001, Westminster Theological Journal from 1960-2000, The Master’s Seminary Journal from 1990-1999, and numerous years worth of journals from 11 other seminaries and institutions. This requirement must be met within completing 10 hours of the program.

All new degree-seeking students (excluding the MABS) and Distance Education students (including the MABS) will be required to purchase the Logos Pastor’s Library or higher beginning fall semester 2006. BTS strongly recommends the Logos Scholar’s Library with the Theological Journals Volume 5 add-on for the same reasons mentioned above. This requirement must be met within completing 10 hours of the program.

All degree-seeking students are eligible to purchase any of the Logos Bible Study libraries at 50% off the retail price. Students must purchase during regularly scheduled semester enrollment periods. Also, Logos will divide payments into 6 equal installments.

Students in the Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling will be required to purchase the Journal of Biblical Counseling 25 Years CD-ROM collection.

All students are encouraged to purchase and use the StyleEase program for formatting term papers according the Turabian style (the required style of BTS). Although not required, this inexpensive piece of software will make it much easier and faster for students to meet the format requirements for all papers submitted in BTS classes.
