J. Gresham Machen Collection on Pre-Pub

Just got an email that Logos is offering a collection of the writings of J. Gresham Machen. This is a welcome addition that has been long overdue.

However, looking over the titles in the collection, several of Machen's works are missing:

New Testament Greek for Beginners
The Virgin Birth of Christ
The Christian Faith in the Modern World
The Christian View of Man
What is Christianity?
The New Testament : An Introduction to its Literature and History

These works are probably not included because they are still under copyright. Is there any chance the collection can be expanded to include Machen's complete works?

[Y] Did not hesitate to pre-order. But, like you, would sure like to see the missing works too. Perhaps an arragement could be made to offer them separately for a higher price, given the copyright issue?

You guessed right: there are very complicated copyright issues with many of Machen's other works. We hope to add some of this content to the collection before it ships, but we can't make any firm promises.

And that's as it should be! After all, we need to give incentive to our authors and inventors to keep creating new works. I, for one, cannot wait for the new Machen book. /sarcasm

I am grateful to you guys for the work you put into securing these rights for us. Something tells me that's just as hard as making a world class software package. Your company has done a nice job pulling that all together for our benefit. Thank you. /genuine thankfulness

I know this post is old but I was looking for the Christian faith in the modern world and it seems it was included at one point but isn’t anymore. I hope it can be brought back

Matillo,

I share your desire. I have all of Machen's works FL offers and I've had them from early on (as early as 2017 and 2018). I don't recall FL ever offering Christian Faith in the Modern World; see the very first post in this thread, it supports my recollection.
