A HUGE plea and concern for Logos
Comments

Fire Bible notes/articles
Life in the Spirit NT Commentary
Have you written to the publishers of those resources suggesting they partner with Logos? Logos can't publish without willing partners. (This is something I do for resources I'd really like to see in Logos, along with putting the suggestion in the "Suggestions" forum here, of course - or joining others who have suggested them.)
As for Logos finding someone to head up this area, you and I have no idea how they've pursued this (or haven't). It's my understanding that they have been, though we've not had any recent info from them on this. It would be nice to know what's happening.

There is a fair amount of Adam Clarke (including his commentary).
https://www.logos.com/products/search?q=Adam+Clarke&Author=117%7cAdam+Clarke&redirecttoauthor=true
The Works of Adam Clarke (24 vols.) contains Adam Clarke’s magna opus, the unabridged Holy Bible, Containing the Old and New Testaments. This six-volume commentary on the Bible took Clarke forty years to complete, and was a primary theological resource for Methodists for almost two centuries. Still widely referenced today, the nearly six-thousand page commentary set is even more accessible with the power of Logos Bible Software.
Also included in The Works of Adam Clarke (24 vols.) is Christian Theology, The Preacher's Manual, A Concise View of the Succession of Sacred Literature, and the three-volume Discourses on Various Subjects Relative to the Being and Attributes of God, which together, contain the sum of Clark's essays, letters, sermons, grammars, and addresses. In addition, The Works of Adam Clarke (24 vols.) includes Clarke’s six-volume Bibliographical Dictionary with the supplementary two-volume Bibliographical Miscellany, and Memoirs of the Wesley Family, Clarke’s memories and research on his mentors, John and Charles Wesley, and their family history.

Yes, we do now finally have the Adam Clarke Commentary. And that was my third most requested and important resource. Having said that, the two primary resources that are thoroughly Pentecostal are the Fire Bible (aka Life in the Spirit; Full Life Study Bible) and the Full Life Bible Commentary on the NT. These are essentials that I've asked for since day one of signing up with Logos. They are owned by both Zondervan and Hendrickson.

One down (Clarke's Commentary), but we desperately need the Full Life Study Bible (aka Fire Bible) notes and articles. It's really indispensable for Pentecostal research, imho. Please release this resource asap, Logos.
Two things I'll point out:
1) There's no doubt in my mind that Logos suffers from a lack of standard, well known Arminian/Pentecostal works. This is in stark contrast to the material they offer from Calvinistic/Reformed streams of thought. Here are three of the big name benchmark works offered by other bible software companies that Logos doesn't carry right now:
Adam Clarke's Commentary
Full Life Study Bible (aka Fire Bible)
Full Life Commentary on the New Testament
For the life of me I can't understand why Logos doesn't have all three of these available - right now. Can you imagine how Reformed folks would feel if Logos didn't have Calvin's Commentaries at this point in the game? Or the works of Spurgeon? We'd all say that would be "insane", yet this is what's happening on our side of the theological fence right now. Some standard works are not available, and it just boggles my mind.
2) I agree that there will probably never be as many scholarly works in Pentecostal theology as Reformed, or Baptist, etc. But don't think there isn't a lot of material out there to be mined, so to speak. There is. And much of it is more scholarly than you might think. There are several periodicals, like the Pneuma Review and Paraclete that are fabulous resources that would benefit everyone in Logos. And there are many books and papers that would greatly enhance the Pentecostal section in Logos. So don't think there isn't material available. There is. We just need Logos to take more of an interest.

Hello folks!
I've been working on a few Pentecostal-Charismatic products lately. My team recently posted a key collection from holiness-pentecostal pioneer A.B. Simpson.
