I would love to see an Islamic Studies package.I am a seminary student pursuing an M. A. in Islamic Studies. I am also a Logos user.I would buy an Islamic Studies bundle/collection and I would promote it in my program.
Could you suggest some books that would be appropriate? Are some already available in Logos?
Do you mean in the original Arabic or translations?
I love the idea and I believe it will be come increasingly critical globally as well as in the USA.
There are at present only a few offerings which could comprise such a package.
What would you suggest in addition?
Edit: Eliminated pointless discussion.
Due to the way some bundles won't break up at the moment, the current cost of the above is over $500, I'm sure an Islamic specific package would be much lower given the current offerings.
In fact I've forwarded that list and a link to this thread to suggest@logos.com
Well, I'm writing in English. So I would personally benefit from English books and translations of books that were written in Arabic (or any other language). If this bundle included the Qur'an and Hadith, it would not be inappropriate for them to remain in Arabic. But there are plenty of modern Islamic studies reference texts written in English.

Yes. Do you have any particular ones in mind?

I would purchase such a product provided Wehr Cowan or Lane are also included. I would purchase Wehr Cowan and/or Lane seperately as well.
Well, not really. I could take a swing at it. But, I'm not exactly qualified to suggest something.
Thank you for your help, Sir.

I disagree completely. No matter where you are in your course of study...

I believe this makes you a fair bit better off than me to make a suggestion of resources. If nothing else, comb the bibliographies from your current range of Syllabi.

That's a good respectable list. The problem as I see it is that neither Logos nor its normal market has gone in this direction at all, meaning you'd end up with a package that would include material most Muslims and many Islamic scholars would object to, i.e. Christian pastoral/polemic material that pertains to Islam.
I'd love to see a tagged Qur'an and some commentaries and lexical resources, perhaps a few of the basic histories, etc. But don't hold your breath.

Right on. Islamic Studies could be huge undertaking, if Logos wanted to do it. And I think in the future it may be more practical for them to do so.But even if they simply offered some reference books and "Christian perspectives" or whatever they already have available in a bundle, that would be cool.
I can't imagine an Islamic collection with Annemarie Schimmel, Frithjof Schuon, and A. J. Arberry - although I fear knowing them dates my college years.

[Y] Yep Arabic lexicons are good for comparative semitic work. Lane and Wehr-Cowan are often referenced in HALOT. The Hadith would be a nice bonus.
Lane now available on Perseus:

And in Logos (Arabic Collection)
I'm bumping this because the Islamic Studies Collection is almost over the top. Since it is after noon on Wednesday (Pacific Time) we would have a longer period to get the price down (although $30 is an outrageous deal for 34 volumes!). Here's the link:

Yes I have been watching this for some time, it seems so close but stuck at 99%. [:'(]
How about a little help from you fence sitters! [:D]
