BTW, I hope everyone who is submitting these long lists of book recommendations lately is taking the time to check, for each title, whether it's already in Logos's catalogue, and whether anyone else has already recommended it. The quickest way to do both of those in one shot is to do a Google search for the title (in quotes) plus author's last name if it's a common title, with site:logos.com as one of the search terms. I have checked that for all of these titles and none of them have been mentioned before (though some of these authors have, and Logos carries some other books by some of them).

  • Four Gospels, One Jesus: A Symbolic Reading, Richard A. Burridge
  • New Testament History, F.F. Bruce - perhaps this has been made redundant by Ben Witherington's New Testament History which Logos sells (see I. Howard Marshall's endorsment of the latter, in which he says that "this book may well do for this generation what F. F. Bruce’s New Testament History did for an earlier one."). But that never stopped Logos from bringing out many other old classics.
  • Themes in Old Testament Theology, William A. Dyrness
  • God's Design: A Focus on Old Testament Theology, Elmer A. Martens
  • Genesis: The Story We Haven't Heard, Paul Borgman
  • Genesis: Translation and Commentary, Robert Alter
  • Genesis: A Commentary, Bruce K. Waltke
  • God So Loved the World: A Christology for Disciples, Jonathan R. Wilson
  • The Nature of the Atonement, J. McLeod Campbell (the Eerdmans edition, with intro by James B. Torrance)
  • Reading the Bible with Heart & Mind, Tremper Longman III
  • Immanuel in Our Place: Seeing Christ in Israel's Worship, Tremper Longman III
  • Between Faith and Criticism: Evangelicals, Scholarship, and the Bible in America, Mark. A. Noll
  • Interpreting the Prophetic Word: An Introduction to the Prophetic Literature of the Old Testament, Willem A. VanGemeren (he's the general editor of NIDOTTE)
  • Ancient Israelite Literature in its Cultural Context: A Survey of Parallels Between Biblical and Ancient Near Eastern Texts (Library of Biblical Interpretation), John H. Walton
  • The Texts of the Old Testament, Ernst Würthwein, translated by Errorll F. Rhodes - classic intro to OT textual criticism
  • A Biblical History of Israel, Iain Provan, V. Philips Long, and Tremper Longman III
  • The Prophets (2 vols.), Abraham Joshua Heschel
  • Slavery, Sabbath, War & Women: Case Issues in Biblical Interpretation, Willard M. Swartley
  • The Search for Order: Biblical Eschatology in Focus, William J. Dumbrell

EDIT: Forgot this:

  • Foundations for Biblical Interpretation: A Complete Library of Tools and Resources, David S. Dockery, Kenneth A. Mathews, and Robert B. Sloan

    Yup, that's fiction all right! [;)]  I am among those who have pretty much rejected it and all those who still teach his discredited theories, but it was such a classic and influenced so many people that it would be good to have in Logos format for historical interest.

    My kind of list, saves me from making one[Y]. There is a lot here that i am interested in (most of them are in my paper library). I just hope i am able to give up paper books for digital, at the moment it is something i am finding very difficult to do.

    I will add my vote to your list.
