Digital Library & Logos Bible Software

At Redemption Seminary, your education includes much more than textbooks. Students receive access to an extensive digital theological library, advanced biblical research tools, and an exceptional collection of video courses taught by leading biblical scholars.

Through Redemption's institutional partnership with Logos, students enjoy resources and subscription benefits that would be difficult or costly to assemble independently.

All the resources required for your coursework are included in your tuition.

Exclusive Access to the Entire Logos Mobile Ed Catalog

Learn from Leading Biblical Scholars

One of Redemption Seminary's most valuable educational benefits is access to the entire Logos Mobile Ed course catalog (over 300 courses).

Unlike individual Logos subscriptions, Redemption's institutional subscription gives students access to the complete Mobile Ed collection while they are enrolled.

Mobile Ed courses feature professional video instruction from respected biblical scholars and theologians covering biblical studies, theology, biblical languages, church history, preaching, and ministry.

These resources provide an extraordinary opportunity to learn from a wide range of scholars, including subjects beyond those required for your Redemption courses.

Redemption students receive access to the entire Mobile Ed catalog through an institutional subscription not offered to individual Logos users.

Collection value: $31,999. Subscription: Not publicly offered

More Than Required Course Lectures

Redemption incorporates selected Mobile Ed lectures directly into its coursework. But students aren't limited to the lectures assigned in their courses.

You can explore additional Mobile Ed courses to deepen your understanding of Scripture, investigate theological questions, or pursue topics relevant to your personal interests and ministry. This includes many courses by Michael Heiser and courses on popular topics like apologetics and counseling.

This means your access to theological instruction extends far beyond your degree program requirements.

Every active Redemption student receives the benefits of Logos MAX, Logos Bible Software's highest subscription tier.

Subscription:$19.99/mo. or $200/yr

Logos MAX provides advanced research capabilities, including AI-enhanced searching, biblical language tools, and access to hundreds of additional research resources. It also includes a platinum library of 600+ books and commentaries.

These tools help students move efficiently between biblical texts, commentaries, theological reference works, and other academic resources.

Students who already own Logos Bible Software can continue using their existing libraries while benefiting from the additional tools and resources provided through Redemption.

Logos MAX: Powerful Tools for Biblical Study

Lexham Press Research Library

Expansive Digital Research Library

Every active Redemption student has access to an expansive reference library beyond what is included in Logos MAX. This library is provided by Redemption so students have strong research materials available at no extra cost. This library includes over 1,000 academic journals and magazines and hundreds of additional scholarly works with a total collection value of over $25,000.

Galaxie’s Theological Journal Library

Theological journals make it possible to participate in the cutting edge of biblical and theological research. Journal articles zoom in on specific historical, exegetical, and theological topics and tease out the details in a way that is not possible in other academic resources.

Collection value: $5,397.51. Subscription: $5/mo

• 425 Journals and Magazines

The International Critical Commentary

The ICC has long held a special place among works on the Bible. It brings together all the relevant aids to exegesis: linguistic and textual, archaeological, historical, literary, and theological, with a comprehensiveness and quality of scholarship unmatched by any other series.

The ICC series has also been rather difficult to purchase in its entirety, due in part to the cost of the print volumes, numerous revisions of various volumes, and the fact that most retailers do not offer the entire set as one purchase. The Logos edition contains the most recent edition of each title and provides an easy way to own every volume of this often-cited commentary set.

Build a Personal Theological Library with Every Course

Keep Your Course Textbooks

At Redemption Seminary, your education continues to provide value long after you complete a course.

The core digital textbooks provided for each course become part of your personal Logos library and remain yours to keep.

As you complete additional courses, you gradually build a growing collection of theological resources that you can continue using for biblical study, teaching, preaching, and ministry.

Rather than purchasing textbooks separately, students receive the core books for their courses as part of their tuition.

Over the course of a degree program, this creates a substantial personal theological library that continues serving graduates long after their studies conclude.

Core textbooks provided for permanent ownership remain in your Logos library. Subscription-based resources, including Logos MAX, the Logos reference library, and the Mobile Ed catalog, are available during active enrollment.
