and when any of those friends vote for themselves, they can also toss in an extra vote for me[:D]
Or as a Chicago Irish Catholic woman taught me "vote early, vote often"[H]
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

I certainly would. But they'd have to get the price down for me to afford it.

Has anyone seen this by the same author: http://www.amazon.com/SCM-PRESS--Z-PATRISTIC-THEOLOGY/dp/0334040108/ref=sr_1_11?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1319923586&sr=1-11? Might be useful as well. (I've got a couple of other SCM dictionaries and find them very useful.)

I would HIGHLY support this... very valuable resource, and Logos doesn't have a lot related to Orthodoxy. But also, the price would have to come way down. The price on the link site is crazy.

Agree this would be good, especially given its wide range of coverage.
Price-wise, it looks pretty normal for this type of dictionary ($/pages) but probably by the time it got on Logos, it might be out of range.

$464 retail for 872 pp. (that's apparently both volumes, not pp. per volume) = $0.53 per page! Too rich for my blood! E.g., Commentary on NT use of OT is 1161 pp. and costs $60 retail = $0.05 per page.

Now Eric ... you used a VERY well priced Commentary for comparison. I was surprised it is so comprehensive but affordable.
I was using Encyclopaedia of Christianity and similar.
But you're right. Much dinero.

For those of you who haven't yet found out, there is now an Orthodox suggestion at Logos' new Uservoice site for prepubs: Add more Orthodox works, and also one for Patristics: Add more Patristic works. Please go add your votes. And then add the remainder of your votes to other suggestions -- preferably mine.
(There is also a new Uservoice site for CP's, with another ten new votes for you to spend: http://communitypricing.uservoice.com/forums/183260-general/filters/top.)
