Ladd, Eschatology for the layman.

Dunn, Galatians.
Will hopefully get IH Marshall's Pauline Epistles, especially if it wins. MAYBE LaSor/Hubbard. I have most of the rest. I like a couple others that I don't have, but I just can't buy it all.
I like Apples. Especially Honeycrisp.

Marshall, if it wins. Treasury of David, I hope.
I doubt I can risk much more since the credit card bill came in today and she who must be obeyed raised more than a little eyebrow at the Calvin PrePubs, especially as the £-$ exchange rate is dire. Pray for me, y'all.

I'm really hoping for Treasury of David, too. But I picked up a bunch of others so far that I didn't have yet and that looked good:

Terry,
I got Ladd's Last things too. I have always loved that book. I also bought the major works of Anselm.
The number one thing I intend to buy is I. Howard Marshall's Pastoral Epistles in the ICC.
The number two thing I intend to buy is Spurgeon's Treasury of David.
I will probably buy John MacArthur's 1,2, 3 John commentary.
If only I had more money, I would buy much more. However, I have a bunch of stuff coming April 5 in Zondervan resources, and taxes to be paid April 15.
"Dear Lord, I need some restraint and self-discipline with money. But please, O Lord, wait until after March madness to answer this prayer. Amen!"

So what happened to Treasury of David? It was at the top, and then in this round, it's at the bottom. Who's stuffing the ballot box?

I agree - something is going on with the voting. I don't think hundreds more people suddenly got excited by House's Old Testament Theology (as good as that may be)... [^o)]

I'm depressed from the layout bug I'm experiencing (http://community.logos.com/forums/t/13473.aspx?PageIndex=1), so I've curtailed my purchases.
However, I did buy:
R1 - The Shape of Sola Scriptura
R2 - The New Unger's Bible Dictionary
There were some others that I might have bought, but they are also part of collections, and since Logos won't give me credit for things I already own when I buy a collection, I won't buy individual resources that are in collections.

I suspect hijinks! ...... Should we check for IP addresses assigned to computers at Paul House's home and office? [:P]
Actually, it does seem completely reversed from the order it was in before the round started.

I am loosing confidence in Logos programmers. I was able to sign out, delete cookies from my browser, go to march madness page and revote, although I had voted before. It is possible to game the system!! This is at least the third mistake that the programmers have made with this (march madness) promotion.

Oh great. So we're going to end up with the resource that cheaters like the most making it to the final round. [^o)] It certainly won't be A Quest for Godliness. [:)]

It always has. The issue is with "Division 2". Its vote ranking has completely flipped in the past day.

For me, the most significant resource was Gordon Wenham's Story as Torah: Reading Old Testament Narrative Ethically (Edinburgh: T&T Clark, 2000.)
While I've only read 2 chapters so far, Wenham is one if the best Pentateuchal scholars IMHO, and this level of thinking about the ethical content of the stories is uncommonly good.

My choice as well
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."
