Historically important Community Pricing offerings
There are several Community Pricing offerings which are of historical interest and should be given consideration.
1. Thomas Cranmer Collection http://www.logos.com/product/8563/thomas-cranmer-collection
As the first Archbishop of Canterbury under Henry VIII his life and writings are not only of importance to the history of the Anglican Church, but also of the Church as a whole.
2. Adolf von Harnack http://www.logos.com/product/8524/adolf-von-harnack-collection
He not only wrote the famous (or infamous) What is Christianity and some works on New Testament studies, he wrote an extensive History of Dogma which will be found quoted in many works.
3. John William Colenso Pentateuch Collection http://www.logos.com/product/8497/john-william-colenso-pentateuch-collection
I place this here rather than in a category of commentaries because his views are now quite dated. Historically, however, he is of importance since, as I recently read in Semeia 25 in an address by Rudolf Smend before the SBL meeting on the occassion of the 100th anniversary of Wellhausen's Prolegomena to the History of Israel, this is one of the works which was known to have been in Wellhausen's library and was likely of influence in Wellhausen's thoughts.
4. The Works of Miles Coverdale http://www.logos.com/product/8830/the-works-of-myles-coverdale
To those interested in the history of the English bible, these writings by and about the author of the first printed English bible should be of interest. I should also note that there is a fair amount of material on Coverdale and his translation in Westcott's History of the English Bible.
Those interested in historical theology should find these of interest even though they might not be significant for the understanding of the biblical text and its message today.

You'd think that one would be a no-brainer to include in the collection. It's available online here.

Good list George, you've prompted me to take a second look to make sure I've got them already.
Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you. 0 -

Thanks George
I had them already, but was missing the Coverdale resource. So, again thanks.
