That's shipping July 1st, and you should already have it on order, because I'm pretty certain I've had to inform you once before that it's on prepub.[:D]

The Four Gospels on Sunday: The New Testament and the Reform of Christian Worship

Now tell me why I want it. I still haven't made up my mind.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer: A Biography by Eberhard Bethge

I would love to have Bethge's biography of Bonhoeffer, I think the fact that he was a friend of Bonhoeffer adds a valuable perspective.

The Christology Controversy (Sources of Early Christian Thought series) by Richard Norris

The whole series would be good. Admittedly I only own the Trinitarian Controversy volume but have heard decent things about the rest of them.

This is timely, as I'm working on a large list for Fortress Press right now.

In that case, and since Fortress is a Lutheran press, will you take any suggestions?[:D] They publish some of rabbi Neusner's, and they use horribly bad glue in their paperbacks. If the books are a couple of years old, they fall to pieces as soon as you open them.[:(]

The most asked for are the Tosefta and A Rabbi Talks with Jesus, but I doubt either of those are Fortress. In fact, I can't figure out which ones are. Fortress themselves only list the five that are in print, and Amazon... well, the the guy seems to publish about a book a month, so there are a few to check out... And the Fortress title I have by him doesn't show up at all. Perhaps you could get a complete list from Fortress, and we could tell you what we want?

Fortunately that won't be a problem with the Logos editions. [;)]

You can do an Advanced Search on Amazon and search for books by Jacob Neusner that are published by Fortress. Here's the list I came up with (asterisk marks those books available in Kindle):

*Judaism in the Beginning of Christianity
*A Short History of Judaism
Messiah in Context: Israel's History and Destiny in Formative Judaism
Torah: From Scroll to Symbol in Formative Judaism
Recovering Judaism
Rabbinic Judaism: Structure and System
Fortress Introduction to American Judaism: What the Books Say, What the Pople Do

*Jewish-Christian Debates (with Bruce Chilton)
*Soundings in the Religion of Jesus: Perspectives and Methods in Jewish and Christian Scholarship (edited by Neuser, Anthony Le Donne and Bruce Chilton) -- [an aside: cool! Anthony Le Donne was a fellow student with me at Regent College; I didn't know he'd gone on to publish books with the likes of Neusner, and several of his own]
The Social World of Formative Christianity and Judaism: Essays in Tribute to Howard Clarke Kee (edited by Neusner and others)
Judaic Perspectives on Ancient Israel (edited by Neusner, Baruch A. Levine and Ernest S. Frerichs)

I'll add Neusner's works to my list.

A Prayerbook for Spiritual Friends by Madeleine L'Engle and Luci Shaw
The Joy of Discovery in Bible Study by Oletta Wald
Prayer by O. Hallesby (a wonderful little classic on deepening your prayer life)
