William Ames: Marrow of Theology

I just read about this in A Puritan Theology and thought it would be an excellent addition to Logos. One of the first systematic theologies from a puritan perspective. This is translated from the Latin and is much easier to read than the original English translation from the 1600s. It is through Baker, which Logos already has dealings with. As of yet it doesn't exist in digital form, and I'd love to read it in Logos for the (all but necessary in a book like this) scripture text pop ups that make it so easy to look up the verse the author is speaking of. I'm considering buying the paper version... but Logos would be so much better..

Would anyone else be interested in this?

Yeah, we definitely need an Ames collection. This has been on our radar and we are working on building collections to fill out what we lack in Puritan authors. It is a huge project for us, but you should start to see a fairly steady stream of Puritan collections going up on CP, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Awesome! That's exciting news!

Thank you Christian!

Over 2 years later and there doesn't seem to have been much progress on this.

Is Faithlife still planning on bringing 'a fairly steady stream of Puritan collections' to CP?

Ames' Marrow of Theology in particular is a big omission.

"The Marrow of Theology clearly and systematically sets forth the essence of Puritan thought about God, the church, and the world. It is essential for understanding the Puritan view of covenant, sanctification, and activism, and is highly recommended for laypeople and theologians alike. It ought to be a part of every pastor’s library and every church library." - Beeke, Meet the Puritans

Yeah, I ended up buying the paperback. Still haven't got to it in my reading plan, but I would buy it in a heartbeat on Logos as well.
