Logos carries a couple of books by the late great sociologist of religion Rodney Stark (1934-2022), but I'd like to see more.
Stark was most recently Distinguished Professor of the Social Sciences and Co-Director of the Institute for Studies of Religion at Baylor University. His bestselling book, The Rise of Christianity, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. He was the founding editor of the peer-reviewed Interdisciplinary Journal of Research on Religion (which I've also requested for Logos to get).
Stark was known for his provocative books that challenged received history. For example, as a Protestant, Stark "grew up believing many anti-Catholic myths, including that old canard from Washington Irving that Columbus’s voyage had been discouraged by the Church because of her belief that the world was flat." He overturned that "quaint piece of ahistorical folklore" in his book Bearing False Witness: Debunking Centuries of Anti-Catholic History (which is one of his books that Logos carries).
He was controversial, but his books are highly regarded, and I think they deserve to be in Logos. Here are some to VOTE FOR:
