I would like to see Tom Wright's For Everyone Series in Logos.
AMEN TO THAT!
YES PLEASE! That would be really great! [:D]
Thanks, Tom. This is on our lists. One way to help us make this series available is to show your support for the N. T. Wrights books we currently have (if you haven't already):

Like Tom Collinge, I'd like to see the N.T. Wright .....for Everyone series become available and it's great to learn that others have the same desire as myself. I'm also pleased to discover that it's on the list of future releases. The sooner the better say I.
Many thanks and God bless you.

Phil,
I find that a truly bizarre suggestion. The target market for the Christian Origins Series and the For Everyone series couldn't be more different. How would support for a serious academic work by an author assist with publishing a popular work (or even vice versa)?

Both are on my wish list... which is a mile long (good for Logos, bad for my bank account). The trouble is that materials written under N.T. Wright and materials written under Tom Wright generally appeal to different audiences. I wonder if using one to indicate demand for another isn't a good gauge? My wife is a good example. She has and will read the former, but prefers the latter. (just a curious thought)
Count me in for this!
This is a very helpful commentary series. I would love to see this in Logos format.

Absolutely, me too.
It's in pre-pub now as part of the new N.T. Wright collection: http://www.logos.com/product/8576/n-t-wright-collection
I am really disappointed that I have to buy a three-hundred something dollar package, whilst I only really want the 'for everyone' books.. Is there no way to buy them separately? I can buy each book for about 5 pounds (sterling) online, so it makes absolutely no sense at all to pay such an amount! I would really like to include these books in my Logos library, but not for this price. I don't want all the extras - I will never ever make use of these, since I've already got loads to work through with my Leader's pack..
Can anybody tell me what the reason is that some books are sold separately and some will probably always be used to entice people to go for a big purchase?
Sorry to sound so negative, but it's getting a little annoying that the books I want always seem to be included in a massive package, that is far too expensive for my budget - I wind up buying the book; and the reason for getting Logos was get the books on libronix files, so it will save bookcase space!!
Thanks for listening at my ranting, ;-)

Since Logos isn't the primary publisher of these works they have to work under the publishers rules. Sometimes as the contracts are negotiated they are negotiated for an all or nothing deal. In other words, it may be that for the books we want to be published via Logos, Logos must agree to sell a complete collection.
Sometimes those agreements are written in a way that makes it possible to break the collections up later - such as has happened with some commentary series.
As for bookcase space, you have my sincerest sympathies as I look around my office and it's overflowing bookshelves.
If you have "loads to work through with [your] Leader's pack", I must have a lifetime to work through -- well, perhaps I do.
This I understand perfectly. There is a Community Pricing package for Sophocles where I really only want his lexicon, but at that price I can't complain.
It's my opinion, too, that Logos should find a way to offer every single book belonging to a package as a single resource as well - even if they would be a bit more expensive this way.
Thanks for clearing this up, Thomas. You would think though that purchasing a book via Logos means that the publisher of the book will get his share; just like when one buys a book in a store..
I'm not sure if that's an explanation or an exasperation but there you have it. :-)
Any chance that we could get the rest of this series added? Especially Wright's commentary on Revelation.
