    YES -- but I want a whole Neusner collection (or two), with the best/most helpful of his books on a) Jewish-Christian relations, b) Judaism at the time of Jesus, c) Jewish theology, and d) Jewish theological literature. I started working on a suggestion some months back, but never got time to finish it (some day I will). The guy's written more books than fifty normal scholars do in a lifetime! Sifting through them took forever. On the positive side, Logos seems to have excellent relations with JPS, who've published lots of it, plus he obviously doesn't want much royalty, or we couldn't possibly get 50 vols of Talmud for $160.

    I did, however, finish a suggestion post on Brill books, which included some of Neusner's. Take a look at it; I think you will like a few things there. (I can't believe I haven't got a single thumbs up for it .[:'(] There should be plenty there of interest to all sorts of people here.)

    And, of course, we also need the 'answer' to A rabbi:  Jesus of Nazareth (Yes, I am very well aware it's been suggested several times before; I'm just pushing it [:)] ).

    I fully agree with your thoughts on this!

    PS: I added a triple thumbs up to Brill books! :)

    Thanks. I thought there would be something there for you. [:)] If you look around, I probably have other suggestion threads you'd like as well (and most of them probably have one or two supporters at most so far, so they could really need a thumb and a bump.) [:D]

    And I trust you also emailed suggest@logos.com

    Not yet - now that you mention it: Is this a necessary step or does Logos watch the Suggestions forums anyway?

    I haven't made that many suggestions so far, but I'll remind you next time I make one and can't find your thumbs in there! [;)]

    They do watch the forums and try to keep up, however they certainly do read every single email.  So the email is the guaranteed route.  

    A good idea is to start a thread and once it gets some support send the thread link and the suggestion  to the email, that way they can see the support as well as the request.

    Hmm Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you.

    You don't have to; I subscribe to the suggestion threads. [;)] If I haven't replied, I'm either not interested, or I've put the e-mail in a folder to research at some later time.
