As noted earlier, Steve Arney from the Pantagraph was recently in Lincoln to talk with Dr. Lowery about the new book.

The electronic edition of Revelation’s Rhapsody has now hit the “under development” stage at Logos. The pre-publication price of US$12.95 is still available for a limited time. From the Logos web site, here are special features of the electronic edition:
Revelation’s Rhapsody’s arrival to the Logos Bible Software library means that this engaging volume has become more useful than ever to your understanding of the book of Revelation. This electronic text has all the terrific features you’ve come to expect from Libronix. This includes advanced topic, passage and word searches. What’s more, all Bible references and footnotes operate as hotspots, immediately presenting the cited information whenever the cursor rolls over them. Moreover, the hotspots open your favorite translation to the citation at the click of a mouse. Keylinking to other resources in your Logos library is as close as a mouse-click as well.
Steve Arney, a writer for the Bloomington, IL, newspaper The Pantagraph, visited Lincoln yesterday to talk with Dr. Lowery about the new book and to work on a piece about the seminary. We’ll post a link to the story once it’s published.

On Tuesday, September 12, Dr. Lowery will be signing copies of his new book, Revelation’s Rhapsody: Listening to the Lyrics of the Lamb, at Mr. Books, the campus bookstore at Lincoln Christian College and Seminary (get directions). Stop in to pick up a copy, meet Dr. Lowery, and discuss the book that Craig Blomberg, professor at Denver Seminary, has called, “Enjoyably written and peppered with personal illustrations, this is a welcome addition to a crowded field, and one which clearly stands out from the crowd!”
