Create a Recommendations forum

Allen Browne

How about a forum where we can recommend resources we have particularly enjoyed reading?

Others can follow up to disagree, affirm, or qualify the recommendation if they wish, but I imagine this would be a good way for Logos to gain sales, particularly of resources that are not in the more basic libraries, and with very little input from staff (other than removing completely inappropriate posts.)

Sample post:

I'm enjoying Beale's commentary on 1-2 Thessalonians (IVP set, also available in the IVP NT update bundle.)

If you have it, the intro has a really great summary of how Paul's eschatology is based on the OT -- an area he is particularly good at, having coauthored (with Carson) the very good Commentary on the OT use of the NT.

I think it would be even more useful if we could comment right on the product description pages about these products and give our ratings of them (the way you can do on amazon.com). That feature has been requested, and I know they are still working on rolling out improvements to the new website, so it might be coming.

But a Recommended Resources forum would be nice too, to draw our attention to resources we might already have but haven't dipped into yet. For now, we could use the General forum for that and just prefix the subject line with I recommend: or some such.
