I have been studying Eschatology for about 2 years now off and on as the radio pastors and teachers touch on it. I recently finished reading a book by Larry Simmons called, Unmasking Pre-Trib Fallacies (© 1997). I found the book to be of excellent quality and very easy reading, so I was looking online to see what else of his could be found. In my searches, the below webpage popped up:

I was shocked to find a result on Logos’ Forums so checked it out. In it Divinesoteriology recommended 45 Post-Tribulation Rapture books for possible inclusion on Logos. One of which being, 42 Months to Glory: Unlocking the Mysteries of End Time Prophecy by Larry Simmons (1994), which I have not read as yet. The final post was on 12/03/2013 by Divinesoteriology, in which they state, “Been a little over a year since the last post. Since then there has been no post trib books added that I am aware of... 
”
This was a shock to me, that a program such as Logos would have no Historic Pre-Millennial resources within its library. This program is huge and not all that cheap, even if it would be three times as expensive to buy everything hard copy. I e-mailed Logos Support about my findings, which revealed more than 25 results for references to “Post-Tribulation” and “Historic Pre-Millennial” along with every possible spelling variance I could think of, but not a single one was from that perspective.
In their defense they recommended I read the following article by Logos’ C.E.O. Bob Pritchett:

In a summery, Bob Pritchett says that they want Logos to be a one stop shop for all things Bible-related. He also points out they are always attempting to expand their library accordingly, no matter if they agree with the view of the author or not. I can see the logic behind his case and agree in most aspects.
With knowledge of the goal behind Logos, which was my original assumption based on the implications given at the 30 minute preview I got in-person years ago, I just have one question in regards to Eschatology. Why is it that the only position given as the author’s personal viewpoint the Pre-Tribulation, Dispensational Pre-Millennial position? Why no Post-Tribulation, Historic Pre-Millennial position? Or Mid-Tribulation, Pre-“Vials of Wrath” position?
There is a serious void here and it needs to be rectified in light of what Logos is intended to be. Even beyond that, though, it’s no accident that an alternate term for Post-Trib is “Historical”, that being it was the historic view of the Early Church. In chapter 7 of Larry Simmons’ book Unmasking Pre-Trib Fallacies he quotes Dr. John Walvoord, “Frequently the same writers who seemed to imply immanency later detailed events that must precede the Rapture and the second coming of Christ. At best, the situation is confused.” Quote taken from The Rapture Question page 52.
It should be noted that even Logos shows Dr. Walvoord to be a Pre-Tribulationist, see Faithlife Study Bible under the Views of the Millennium table, “Proponents” section. In addition, this list was put together by Pre-Tribalationists, yet the oldest proponent for their view in history is John Darby (1800-1882), who some believe founded the doctrine in 1830FN. Yet the oldest Post-Tribulationist proponent listed is St. Irenaeus (circa 125-202 AD), who was a “Church Father”.
So, there should be no doubt about where the Early Church stood since even Pre-Trib teachers can tell they were not Pre-Trib, but perhaps still believers in immanency. Therefore, to lack this view on Logos is to lack the days of the Church Fathers.
Please, add the “Historical Pre-Millennialism” viewpoint to Logos’ library. Thank you!
