Do Pentecostals really use Logos?
I own a logos Messianic Jewish starter and Pentecostal & Charismatic packages and I would be interested in upgrading but you really don't have any literature from pentecostal ministers in the packages such as Dr. Roberts, Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, TD Jakes, David and Nicole Crank, Andrew Wommack, John G Lake, Smith Wigglesworth, Mel Bond, or a whole list of others. Adding the Dakes Bible was a huge addition. When will you be adding some actual pentecostal titles to the pentecostal library? If not, Pentecostals really have no reason to shop here.

Assemblies of God minister here. I use Logos primarily for my Greek homework, but I am saddened by the comparative lack of of Pentecostal scholarship available on Logos as well. I think that part of this is the culture of love for the classic European literature which, by it's nature, being a revival of Biblical norms in the early 1900's America, Pentecostalism has little. Regardless, I'd be absolutely thrilled if Logos would add more from Roger Stronstad, or maintained a closer relationship with Gospel Publishing House with an eye on improving the depth of the P&C library.
On a plus side, Logos does offer the (almost) complete three phase Library from the Berean School of the Bible, used for the AG credentialing process.
Blessing Brother!

-RyanBlessings, Ryan. I'm a graduate from the old CBC in Springfield and a Pentecostal minister whose doctrine is 100% with the A/G. Like you, I find it a shame that Logos doesn't carry more classical Pentecostal material from the Assemblies or the CoG. There's a wealth of material out there.
It took many years of asking for it (I even had conversations with Logos' owner via email), but we finally got the Fire Bible. And you are correct, the Berean School of the Bible is there for those that want it. And there are a few GPH books as well. But there is so much more. I'd love to see Logos get the material from the Flowers Library and offer that. More Donald Gee material would be great. Everything that Stanley Horton and the Menzies' wrote. Maybe even E.S. Williams and older A/G writers/preachers as well. I'd be in for every single bit of it.
Take care, brother.

I use it and appreciate all the features of the software. I have updated approximately 800 of my books into the software and can purchase from Logos and other sources to round out the usability of the software.

yes.
I have all the Pentecostal resources that I am aware of that Logos has. but I don't ONLY have Pentecostal resources.
Unfortunately, "Full Gospel" is not well represented in Academia. I have made many suggestions for Pentecostal resources. the challenge is more that the authors need to request their works to be added, not just from a reader.
This is sadly the case with Biblical Archaeology resources as well (Pentecostal, and Biblical Archaeologist). I have them all, but there are so many others out there.0 -
I believe their view of "Pentecost" is strictly trinitarian Pentecostalism. The only oneness Pentecostal books I've found on here is the Apostolic Study Bible. I put in a request for the Premier Study Bible, don't know what will come of it. I would love to see some of the sermons from Bro. Verbal Bean, Bishop Odom, Bro. David K. Bernard, Bishop Mangun, Bro. A.D. Urshan, etc.
But i love using Logos so far. I have used it for a little over a month now. I use it primarily for historical, quotes, insights, and honestly for different perspectives. I do not like studying in a vacuum or isolation so this is a great way to also view how the majority of Christianity would view the scriptures in contrast to a Pentecostal.
In short, they seem to use the term in a more modern sense of someone who believes in speaking in tongues rather than Oneness preachers.

In classifying commentaries they treat non-Trinitarian as a category in its own right. Have you check to see if non-trinitarian Pentecostal appears there?
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 have tried but I can not find anything anywhere. I'm not exactly sure why?
