I can't believe Arndt isn't in Logos already! I'm looking at my Historical Theology shelves, and as far as I can see now I've only really got two non-Swedish post-Reformation pre-modern Protestant books: Arndt and Tersteegen -- and in spite of all the 100s of books Logos have that fit those criteria, neither of these classics can be found on Logos website. 

Arndt was probably the 3rd most owned and read book in this country for 100-200 years or longer (after the Bible and what we might loosely call the Swedish BCP), though Scriver's The Soul's Treasure might have been close (yet another Protestant classic not in Logos format!). But then Swedes have probably always been quite a bit more mystically oriented than Anglo-Saxon Protestantism. 

If Henric Schartau has ever been translated into English, I'd like to put in a vote for him as well, but I suspect he hasn't. I know Bo Giertz' The Hammer of God has, though (no less than 3 times it seems!), and it's got a bit of Schartau in it. Probably one of the best Christian novels ever written!
