Logos Free Book of the Month: Dale Leschert, The Flow of the New Testament

The Logos Free Book of the Month promo partners with Christian Focus in the first second of January to offer Dale Leschert’s book, The Flow of the New Testament: A Book by Book Guide to the New Testament (Christian Focus, 2002). This is a quick way of investigating a New Testament book. Leschert has created a unique resource to help everyone understand the New Testament. Each biblical book is outlined and described, and its connections with the rest of the New Testament are detailed. Each book has a summary page with background details and many information boxes, charts, and maps to illustrate the text.

In addition to the free book, there is a wide range of discounted books this month:

• Thomas Schreiner and Shawn Wright, Believer’s Baptism: The Covenant Sign of the New Age in Christ (NAC Studies in Bible and Theology), $1.99
• R. Larry Moyer, 31 Days to Contagious Living: A Daily Devotional Guide on Modeling Christ to Others, $2.99
• Christopher Ash, Teaching Psalms, Volume 2: A Christian Introduction to Each Psalm, $3.99
• Richard P. Belcher Jr., The Messiah and the Psalms: Preaching Christ from all the Psalms, $4.99
• Thomas Schreiner, 1 Corinthians (Tyndale New Testament Commentaries), $5.99
• W. Harold Mare, New Testament Background Commentary: A New Dictionary of Words, Phrases and Situations in Bible Order, 6.99

The big surprise on the list is David H. Allen and Steve Smith, Methodology in the Use of the Old Testament in the New. Any time you can get an LNTS volume for $8.99, you grab it fast.

The Thomas Schreiner Fest continues in January with two more inexpensive books from him. When I reviewed the 1 Corinthians commentary when it was first published,I said:

This new commentary on 1 Corinthians is a welcome update to the Tyndale New Testament Commentary series. Although the book is brief compared to other recent commentaries, Schreiner offers enough social and cultural background to illuminate some of the more difficult sections of the letter and draws conservative, evangelical applications to contemporary issues. This commentary will serve pastors, teachers, and students as they study this important Pauline letter to their congregations.

Read the rest of the review and buy this commentary while it is on sale, This Logos Free Book of the Month promotion runs through January 31. Look for a new free book February 1.

This month, Logos also rolled out new 2025 denominational libraries. Each library is curated to highlight authors and titles from a particular denomination or theological tradition ( including books not found in the standard libraries). See the lineup and save 30% on your first purchase. Logos does not charge you for books you already own (they call it “dynamic pricing”), so your price for a library might even be lower.

Pro tip: You can add as many denominational libraries as you want to that first purchase for the best savings. Maybe pick a Calvinist and Arminian library and try to get AI to make them fight.

It is always a good time to get a new Logos Subscription. Although some are upset with the changes in the pricing model, there is nothing to fear. Essentially, you are paying what you would have once every two years for the old-model upgrades. This new subscription plan allows Logos to push new features every few months rather than one big upgrade every two years.

Even if you do not subscribe to Logos, you keep all your previously purchased books. Nobody will lose anything for not getting a subscription. You do not need to upgrade to a subscription model. If you do upgrade, you will get access to some cool new AI tools, which may or may not be necessary. They just added a Bible Study tool (like their sermon prep tool) that scrapes questions from your library to help generate a Bible Study or discussion.

As always, you can use the (free) basic edition or inexpensive Fundamentals collection to use these free and discounted books. If you do not already have Logos, you can save 20% on any Logos 10 package (Silver and above) if you do not already own Logos Bible Software.  Check out my first-look review of Logos 10.
