Not sure if anyone has mentioned Baker's Commentary Set on the Wisdom and Psalms, but these are a must have!

Logos has added so many resources lately. What is left that you would most like to see added?
A morph search that works properly (bring back the L3 method) and notes at least a good as in L3.

This is a fine thread, but I hope you all realize this is not the place to get your requests heard by Logos. I'm not sure they even have time to read the General forum. The best way to get requests seen is email them to suggest (at) logos (dot) com, because that goes right into an email Inbox at Logos and they'll log them in a database somewhere. Second best is post them in the Suggestions forum. That's second best because someone has to keep on top of the forum and sometimes they don't have time to read everything. They never respond on the Suggestions forum so it sometimes feels like a black hole. The email address does too, but at least you know it's going to some Inbox somewhere (it doesn't bounce) and won't get lost in the shuffle. There is also one more place to make resource suggestions: the wiki Product Wishlist page. We have not heard any recent word from Logos that they're actually paying any attention to it, so it's mostly a duplicate place for you to post your suggestions so that others can quickly see if something they are requesting has already been suggested. If you just want to send in the request once, use the email address.

An interactive map and interactive timeline is something that is surprisingly missing from Logos IMO. The Accordance map and timeline is unparalleled by any other software, but there is no reason it should stay that way.

Okay, this is easy ...
all the good academic journals not already available, but especially:
- Journal for the Study of the New Testament (JSNT)
- Journal for the Study of the Old Testament (JSOT)
- New Testament Studies (NTS)
- Novum Testamentum (NT)
- Vetus Testamentum (VT)
- Journal of Biblical Literature (JBL) - The early missing years
Quickly followed by:
- Biblica
- Bulletin for Biblical Research
- Scottish Journal of Theology
- Scottish Journal of Systematic Theology
- Biblical Interpretation
- Interpretation
- Havard Theological Review
- Journal of Theological Studies
- Theology
- Theology Today
- Zeitschrift für die Alttestamentliche Wissenschaft
- Zeitschrift für die Neutestamentliche Wissenschaft und die Kunde der Älteren Kirche
Also some of the missing "evangelical" and "Reformed" journals from the Galaxie collections, such as:
- Calvin Theological Journal
- Evangelical Quarterly
Also, I would love more classic scholarship books on Acts. First and foremost:
- Foakes Jackson and Krisopp Lake's, "The Beginnings of Christianity Part 1: The Acts of the Apostles" (5 volumes;
- Vol. 1 Prolegomena (1920);
- Vol. 2: Prolegomena Criticism (1922);
- Vol. 3 The Text (1926);
- Vol. 4 Translation and Commentary (1933);
- Vol 5 Additional Notes (1933)
- Then there is the book that made scholars take Luke-Acts seriously as a single work in 2 volumes:
- Henry J. Cadbury, "The Making of Luke-Acts", 2nd Edition, 1958 (1st Edition, 1927)
- Leander E. Keck and J. Louis Martyn (eds), Studies in Luke-Acts (in honour of Paul Schubert), Fortress Press (Philadelphia), 1966.
- A modern supplement of Jackson and Lake's is the Eerdmans Series "The Book of Acts in its First Century Setting"
- Vol. 1 The Book of Acts in its Ancient Literary Setting, Winter and Clarke (eds) - 1994
- Vol. 2 The Book of Acts in its Graeco-Roman Setting, Gill and Gempf (eds) - 1994
- Vol. 3 Paul in Roman Custody, Rapske, 1994
- Vol. 4 The Book of Acts in its Palestinian Setting, Bauckham (ed) - 1995
- Vol. 5 The Book of Acts in its Diaspora Setting, Levinskaya - 1996
- Witness to the Gospel: The Theology of Acts, Marshall and Peterson (eds) 1998.
- Also highly desirable are following conservative works:
- Colin J, Hemer, The Book of Acts in the Setting of Hellenistic History", Eisenbrauns (Winona Lake: Indiana), 1989
- W. Ward Gasque, A History of the Interpretation of the Acts of the Apostles, Wipf and Stock Publishers (Eugene: Oregon, 1989
Some of the important pro- and con- New Perspective on Paul resources, including:
- Krister Stendahl's Paul Among Jews and Gentiles
- J.D.G. Dunn's collection of papers, "The New Perspective on Paul"
- N.T. Wright's "Climax of the Covenant"
- Justification and Variegated Nomism", Baker Academic, 2001, 2004. (Edited by Carson, O'Brien and Seifrid).
- Stephen Westerholm, "Perspectives New and Old on Paul: The Lutheran Paul and his Critics"
I would also love to see the some works of classic philosophy:
Pre-Socratics; Plato; Aristotle; Descartes; Locke; Rousseu; Hume; Berkeley Kant; Russell; Ayer; Gilbert; Austin e.t.c.
The Church Fathers in Greek and Latin
Oh, and Francis Turretin's "Institutes of Elentic Theology" (in English!)
Spurgeon's Sword and Trowel volumes that deal with the Downgrade Controversy.
So ... not much then!

Stephen, O a, backing you again, in particular on the journals. It would be good if the publishing houses, would release the current journals via subscription in Logos, the same time that they release the paper ones. While it is being prepared for publication, Logos could start the tagging, and release the digital version, shortly after the print version, (depending on the amount of tagging that is needed) or even the same time the print version is needed.
It is costly to ship these journals overseas, and besides, I would rather have them in Logos anyway.

Maybe one could use translate.google.com? The resource is going to be less than $10.00. What we need are a lot more good Logosites to sign up for it. Indeed!

A lot of good suggestions here. Is Logos interested in these requests? Do they want our input? Is there a way they could have user generated product requests like pre-pubs that "gather interest"? There are so many good books unavailable in Logos.
Did anyone suggest Graeme Goldsworthy's books?0 -
Some that would have relatively wide appeal...
Bauckham's Jesus and the Eyewitnesses
Kaesemann's Romans
Barth's Romans

They are if you mail them to suggest@logos.com and/or post them in the Suggestions forum. Whether the right people see something that's wished for in the General forum is considerably more doubtful.

This post & another today (about the One Year Bible) have me wondering if these type of resources can be version independent in Logos and allow users to choose from any Bible versions they have in their library to display references from that particular version. Or would that be a sticky copyright issue?
Logos 7 Collectors Edition

I have a question which kinda goes with this topic. I'm trying to rationalize purchasing a LOGOS 5 plan, and i don't want to just purchase a whole bunch of material which will either go unread, or keep me from viewing the resources which I am most interested in. I'm loving the idea of the timeline, so at this point i'm looking at either a Gold plan or a Platinum plan. The thing is, i've been researching Apologetics and Patristics with a friend, and am seriously considering purchasing these three sets from Amazon.com; (or have been for over 2 years) - but am closer to pulling the trigger. In everything else, I have switched from purchasing books in print, and have moved to either Kindle, iBooks, Zinio, Kno, or iTunes-U. I have a Macbook, & an iPad2 to work with. I've also downloaded Olive Tree, Bible.com's App, and a number of other "free" App versions of Bible study or Scripture diving - but have not picked one as a solid winner to start investing in a large library with. in fact, all the books i've purchased in iOS have either been free in app purchases, or less than $2.99.
What i'm looking to purchase in digital format are these books from Amazon (however Amazon doesn't offer this in digital format):
- The Ante-Nicene Fathers (10 Volume Set) by A. Cleveland Coxe Hardcover $299.00
The Ante-Nicene Fathers ranges from the Apostolic Fathers to various third and fourth century sources including the liturgies and ancient Syriac documents. It was intended to comprise translations into English of all the extant works of the Fathers (with the exception of the more bulky works of Origen) down to the date of the first General Council held at Nicaea in 325 A.D. This American edition by Arthur Cleveland Coxe is a revision of the original series edited by Alexander Roberts and Sir James Donaldson and published in Edinburgh. The revision involves a major rearrangement to conform to the historical sequence, the addition of brief introductions and notes indicating variances in readings, specifying references to scripture or literature, clarifying obscure passages, and noting corruptions or distortions of patristic testimony (as forged in the Decretals). The basic aim of the translations has been to strive for literary exactness, placing the English reader as nearly as possible on an equal footing with those who are able to read the original.
Volume Titles:
Volume 1: Apostolic Fathers, Justin Martyr, Inrenaeus
Volume 2: Hermas, Tatian, Athenagoras, Theophilus, Clement of Alexandria
Volume 3: Tertullian
Volume 4: Tertullian (IV), Minucius Felix, Commodian, Origen
Volume 5: Hippolytus, Cyprian, Caius, Novatian, Appendix
Volume 6: Gregory Thaumaturgus, Dionysius the Great, Julius Africanus, Anatolius and Minor Writers, Methodius, Arnobius
Volume 7: Lactantius, Venantius, Asterius, Victorinus, Dionysius, Apostolic Teaching and Constitutions, Homily, and Liturgies
Volume 8: Twelve Patriarchs, Excerpts and Epistles, The Clementina, Aprocryphal Gospels and Acts, Syriac Documents
Volume 9: Gospel of Peter, Diatessaron, Testament of Abraham, Epistles of Clement, Origen and Miscellaneous Works
Volume 10: Bibliography, General Index, Annotated Index of Authors and Works
Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Second Series, 14 Volumes by Alexander Roberts Hardcover $267.29The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Second Series contains in fourteen volumes the works of the Greek Fathers from Eusebius to John of Damascus and the Latin Fathers from Hilary to Gregory the Great. Several of the writings appear for the first time in English. The first three volumes are a complete collection of the historical writings of the Fathers, whose permanent value as the primary sources is universally acknowledged. Other volumes contain the works of eminent figures in early Christian history, such as Athanasius, Jerome, and Ambrose. The series concludes with the canons and decrees of the seven ecumenical councils, as well as canons of local synod with ecumenical acceptance. The Second Series is edited by Philip Schaff, eminent church historian and professor at Union Theological Seminary, NY, and Henry Wace, Principal of Kings College, London.
Volume Titles:Volume 1: Eusebius: Church History, Life of Constantine the Great, Oration in Praise of ConstantineVolume 2: Socrates, Sozomenus: Church HistoriesVolume 3: Theodoret, Jerome, Gennadius, Rufinus: Historical WritingsVolume 4: Anthanasius: Selects Works and LettersVolume 5: Gregory of Nyssa: Dogmatic Treatises, etc.Volume 6: Jerome: Letters and Select WorksVolume 7: Cyril of Jerusalem, Gregory NazianzenVolume 8: Basil: Letters and Select WorksVolume 9: Hilary of Poitiers, John of DamascusVolume 10: Ambrose: Select Works and LettersVolume 11: Sulpitius Severus, Vincent of Lerins, John CassianVolume 12: Leo the Great, Gregory the GreatVolume 13: Gregory the Great, Ephraim Syrus, Aphrahat
Volume 14: The Seven Ecumenical Councils
I guess what i'm asking, is are these covered in any one Plan of Logos 5? Am i being too overzealous in my quest for study. I'm looking at the plans and all I see from the list is a reference to Early Christian Fathers. I wonder to what degree these early Christian works are made available in Logos 5. I hear many people say that Logos 5 is worth every penny, and that spurs on my smile, and thought that if i make an investment in scripture, i can't go wrong, unless i just don't read. while I hear others look at me like i'm trying to purchase every language that Rosetta Stone offers. Should i just stick with the next language i'm looking to learn (eg: purchase a lighter plan and just start to fall in love with LOGOS gradually?) or is it better - given that the search factors in the specific questions you are looking for - to just dive into the faith and absorb as much as i can before i come up for air?

Stephen,
welcome to the Logos user forums.
The resources you mention are part of the ECF collection available in a protestant and a catholic edition:
- http://www.logos.com/product/5771/early-church-fathers-protestant-edition and
- http://www.logos.com/product/7832/early-church-fathers-special-catholic-edition
you'll see to the right of the screen the L5 packages where each of the two are contained. The Amazon Hardcover prices are ridiculous, given the fact that the Logos versions are searchable, linked and linkable etc.
Hope this helps,
Mick
Have joy in the Lord!
