In the last day or two, hundreds of new books just showed up in Pre-pub. I think they're mostly from the Wordsearch acquisition. I've paged through all of them and found some gems, including a few that I had requested of Logos in the past.

Thanks, Rosie. Lots of good stuff here.
Thank you, Rosie!
Thanks, Rosie. Place a pre-order.
Thank you Rosie for collating this [Y]
A little over 37 pages (with 60 books per page) of new books!!
This is an important work I'm glad to see making it into the Logos catalogue.
As far as I can tell, this is the first and only title from Orbis Books in the catalogue. They have a lot of works significant for academic study of theology. I hope more are to come.
Agreed. Orbis is an important publisher of Christian books. If you do a Google search for Orbis on the forums (orbis site:community.logos.com), you'll see that lots of people have requested various books from Orbis. I hope Faithlife develops a relationship with Orbis and gets more.
It would make things a lot easier if Logos offered a Carta package
Logos should develop a Liberal/Liberation/Woke base package.
Also, Alister McGrath, Reformation Thought: An Introduction!
https://www.logos.com/product/201115/reformation-thought-4th-edition-an-introduction
I've been asking for more Alister McGrath, particularly his history and science/religion works.

Great list. Thanks, Rosie

Thanks! I'd overlooked that one. Just ordered.
They do offer one with 13 volumes in it, but it doesn't include these latest additions.

Thanks, Rosie! I had missed some of the Carta additions!
[Y] This would indeed be great if they would have another Carta package to include these new additions!
A Theology of Liberation, 15th Anniversary Edition: History, Politics, and Salvation (Gustavo Gutierrez) Logos should develop a Liberal/Liberation/Woke base package.
I do agree that a Liberal/Progressive base package would be a good idea and would have takers, though I wouldn't include the word "woke" in its title as that can be sometimes used to ridicule the movement. Liberation Theology is only one facet of Liberal readers' interests. They're also interested in the social gospel, social/racial justice, feminism/egalitarianism, gender studies, LGBTQ+ studies, indigenous theologies, rethinking the literalism of Scripture, etc. There would need to be liberal/mainline reference materials like Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary, liberal/mainline commentaries (e.g., Anchor Yale Bible Commentary, New Interpreter's Bible, Hermeneia), books by some of the more liberal theologians, preachers, and biblical interpreters, e.g., Friedrich Schleiermacher, Rudolf Bultmann (Faithlife doesn't have much by him, only one volume of Hermeneia), Albrecht Ritschl, Adolf von Harnack, Henry Ward Beecher, Walter Rauschenbusch, Harry Emerson Fosdick, Paul Tillich, John A.T. Robinson, John Hick, William Sloane Coffin. As for Liberal Catholics, would want to include Hans Küng, Gustavo Gutiérrez, Joan Chittister, Leonardo Boff (Liberation theology), Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, Sallie McFague, Allyson Jule. And hey, why not even some of the ones that evangelicals truly think are heretical, whom even I as a progressive evangelical sometimes find it hard to swallow, such as John Shelby Spong, Marcus Borg, John Dominic Crossan, Bart D. Ehrman. And then there's the whole realm of neo-orthodox/progressive/universalist/neo-anabaptist/emergent/post-evangelical authors, such as Karl Barth, Reinhold Niebuhr, H. Richard Niebuhr, Walter Wink, Stanley Hauerwas, Douglas John Hall, Walter Brueggemann, Phyllis Tickle, Phyllis Trible, Rosemary Radford Ruether, Brian McLaren, Brad Jersak, Robin Parry (pseudonym: Gregory MacDonald), Jim Wallis, Tony Campolo, Shane Claiborne, Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, Bruxy Cavey, Ron Sider, John Howard Yoder, Stuart Murray, Gregory Boyd, Scot McKnight, Rob Bell, Rachel Held Evans, Sarah Bessey; and Catholic authors who stretch the boundaries of Catholic orthodoxy, such as Richard Rohr. Probably also of interest would be existentialists and early higher criticism proponents (form criticism, history of religions, etc.), critical theory, historical Jesus quest/Jesus Seminar, the New Perspective on Paul, and assorted others: Martin Heidegger, Søren Kierkegaard, Baruch Spinoza, Ludwig Feuerbach, Albert Eichhorn, Johann Gottfried Eichhorn, F. C. Baur, Julius Wellhausen, Hermann Gunkel, Martin Noth, Gerhard von Rad, Ernst Troeltsch, William Wrede, Rudolf Otto, James Muilenburg, Jürgen Habermas, Albert Schweitzer, Krister Stendahl, E.P. Sanders, J. A. Fitzmyer, James Dunn, N.T. Wright.
[EDIT: Another category to include would be the Unitarians and Transcendentalists, e.g., William Ellery Channing, Theodore Parker; I don't know of others that were theologians/pastors per se who published works or sermons, but Ralph Waldo Emerson was among their number (an essayist/philosopher/poet, and the son of a Unitarian minister).]
I'm probably missing plenty, and probably conflating many areas that wouldn't necessarily all belong in one base package, and there might even be contradictory views among some of these authors. But they'd all be of interest to stretch one's thinking, that's for sure. If nothing else to be able to refute them better if you wanted to, by reading their own words, not caricatures of them written by others.

I expect that FL will end up making a number of collections out of sensible subsets of the 2k+ resources just added to Pre-Pub from the Wordsearch collection.
These are the books I pre-ordered. There are so many books, I'm sure I may have missed the odd gem, so I'd love to know what others have spotted.

I often take advantage of the 30 day money back guarantee. I'd rather buy and review, rather than miss out on the pre-pub price.
Please, Logos, offer some Wordsearch Bundles!
though I wouldn't include the word "woke"
Call it what you will. The biggest problem (as always, and as you rightly allude to in your list) would be, how do you define the term "liberal" and what are the boundaries? FWIW, I might even suggest that a separate Heretical base package might be of interest. But again, definitional and boundary issues would probably result in lighting up the forums.
Ah, well. Maybe the prolific use of MyTags is the way to go ...
The Vance Havner stuff is screaming for a bundle, IMO. About 35 books there. They don't have him shown in the author field, though, for some reason.
"I might even suggest that a separate Heretical base package might be of interest."
I've been proposing and updating a responsible Latter-day Saint (i.e. Mormon) package for years, you know, one that might actually bring more LDS users to Logos.https://community.logos.com/forums/t/88557.aspx
These are the books I pre-ordered.
Thanks, Paul. You helped me not miss a couple of gems.
The Vance Havner stuff is screaming for a bundle, IMO.
Yes it is. It would be good to get these for a bundled price. You cannot read Havner without coming away challenged and better for it.
