Logos Free Book of the Month: Simon Austen, Introducing Ephesians: A Book for Today

For the second half of January 2026, you can add Simon Austen, Introducing Ephesians: A Book for Today, to your Logos Library for free.  Austen published this book with Christian Focus in 2012.

Logos has an eclectic mix of other deals for the second half of December:

• Anxiety: Calming the Fearful Heart (Keys for Living Library), $3.99
• Rupert Shortt, Does Religion do More Harm than Good?, $4.99
• Christopher Ash, Teaching Ruth and Esther: From Text to Message (Teaching the Bible Series), $5.99
• Derek Wilson, The Philosopher and the Gospels: Jesus Through the Lens of Philosophy, $6.99
• James D. G. Dunn, Did the First Christians Worship Jesus? The New Testament Evidence, $7.99
• Paul J. Loth, Teaching Adults with Confidence: A Four-Session Program Seminar for Training Teachers, $8.99
• 9Marks Journal, Spring–Fall, Special Edition 2018, $9.99
• Caleb S. Lewis, Through the Waters: A Biblical Theology of the Book of Genesis, $10.99
• Conrad Cherry, God’s New Israel: Religious Interpretations of American Destiny, $11.99
• Peter S. Williams, A Faithful Guide to Philosophy: A Christian Introduction to the Love of Wisdom, $12.99

This is an interesting mix of practical theology and biblical theology. The highlight to my eye is James D. G. Dunn, Did the First Christians Worship Jesus? The New Testament Evidence (WJKP, 2010). Conrad Cherry, God’s New Israel: Religious Interpretations of American Destiny  (University of North Carolina, 1998) is a new edition of a book originally written in 1971. The updated edition adds some essays on more relevant historical figures (relevant in 1998 at least). The book collects the words of such prominent and diverse Americans related to religion. Fromthe blurb: “Neither a history of American religious denominations nor a history of American theology, this book is instead an illuminating look at how religion has helped shape Americans’ understanding of themselves as a people.”

There is a link on the Free Book page to an additional free book for Logos subscribers, currently N. T. Wright, Interpreting Paul: Essays on the Apostle and His Letters (Zondervan, 2020), and a link to the Verbum Free Book (Catholic resources).

The Logos New Year’s Sale runs until February 1. Good deals on Bible Translations and other important resources. Check it out, buy yourself something nice to make up for the lousy start to 2026.

What’s new with Logos? Starting with Logos 46, there is an AI assistant called Study Assistant. Before you think this is a Satanically inspired plot to ruin sermon preparation, read my review. It is really pretty good, and will refuse to write your sermon for you.

This Logos Free Book of the Month promotion runs through January 31. A new free book will be available on February 1 at 9:00 a.m. PST. As always, you can use the (free) basic edition or the inexpensive Fundamentals collection to use these free and discounted books.
