I'd love to see this one as a book request. :-)

Thanks!

    Looks interesting. Maybe over my head, but I'd certainly take a look at it.

    Congratulations!!

    I am familiar with Donald Robinson and  Moore College I did an external  theology studies certificate through them.  I have a copy of Donald Robinson’s 3 volume selected works. Id certainly read it.

    It was an interesting project to research. If you've read any of Robinson's works, you'll definitely enjoy it.

    For those who haven't, it's also a good condensed way to get at the heart of Robinson's (and other Moore scholars') teachings in one volume.

    It's been published! @Rick Mansfield (Logos) you should be able to grab it shortly. https://theparkernathan.substack.com/p/my-phd-dissertation-publication-title

    It is now available in Logos!

    Even though I work for "the other guys", this is the one and only time in my life I'm allowed to say, buy this Logos book. :-)

    @Rick Mansfield (Logos) let me know this is actually just the eBook edition. It has been submitted to be available as a full Logos edition for those who want to wait.

    seems very interesting, dutifully bought (it seems the next step would be to ask for Robinsons works to come to Logos….)

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile

    Thanks for the heads up on that. Congratulations on your book, you must have put a lot of work into that. I'll wait for the Logos edition

    Congradulations!

    Now it used to be that many times a book would be released as just an eBook, and then later it would be tagged and made a full Logos edition. But it wasn't that there were two versions of the book available - those who purchased the plain eBook just got their copy upgraded at no extra cost.

    Is this no longer the case?

    Thanks everyone!

    @DMM I'm the last person who would know the answer to that or who could comment on it. I'm solely the author of the work trying to encourage people to read my book. Maybe @Rick Mansfield (Logos) can answer that question for you. I mentioned the forthcoming full Logos edition just in case it's wise to wait.

    @NB.Mick It's hard to get a hold of Robinson's works, but most have been published in the Donald Robinson: Selected Works from Matthias Media. Some of the other scholars I quote in the work (Goldsworthy, etc) are in Logos.

    My understanding is that if an ebook is recycled to a Logos Edition, anyone who purchased the ebook will also get the upgrade. We keep the same resource ID in place for both versions. Once the Logos edition is made available, we retire the ebook version.

    Thanks @Rick Mansfield (Logos) for the comment. Now it's up to users whether they want to buy now or wait for preorder.

    As long as I'm selling copies of my book and making a good royalty check, I'll settle for either. :-)

    It sold out on Amazon and Barnes & Noble in just a few days, so it's been a good problem to have.

    Apparently my PhD dissertation is "dangerous", even though it sold out twice on Amazon and once on Barnes & Noble (and has likely sold decently here). I created a Facebook account/page to promote it. Hours later, it was permanently shut down, and I cannot even create a new Facebook account. Who knew a dead Australian scholar that most people never heard of's position on Israel and the church was so "dangerous"?

    So sorry to hear about this. You are not the first I have heard of falling foul of a social media platform's censorship without realising it. At least in the past, the problem is there is no clear way to appeal. The Fediverse is trying to address this by creating an alternative, but they have a long way to go to become mainstream.

    Don't ask why my daughter knew this How Can You Recover Disabled Facebook Account – TechCult If you still have a problem, she has some additional options,

    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."

    The only platforms committed to freedom of speech are owned by President Trump or Elon Musk. I deleted my Facebook account years ago. And my account on Accordance forum.

    @Donovan R. Palmer I tried the "appeal" link the first time, but it didn't go anywhere and still remained shut down. When I clicked on the "here's the guidelines you need to read" link, I got a "page not found" message, so I guess they haven't written up a page of what I "supposedly" did wrong yet. :-)

    @MJ. Smith Thanks! I will check this out.

    @John I deleted all my social media accounts a few years ago since I'm not a personal big fan of social media (I like blogging/newsletters better), but W&S wanted me to spin up a couple of social media accounts solely to promote my book (I don't plan to do much with them personally). In the meantime, I am giving X and Truth Social a try. I've been doing some with Substack and I also launched my own website.
