Bumping again. Was listening to a history lecture that mentioned Bernard Ramm, and thought again that I'd love to have his book in Logos.

May go off your topic, but sometimes science is used to generate (wild) exegesis:
Bernhard Philberth: Christian Prophecy & Nuclear Power, 1994 - Revelation explained as nuclear war
Colin Humphreys : The Miracles of Exodus: A Scientist's Discovery of the Extraordinary Natural Causes of the Biblical Stories - interesting even if you don't buy his views
Gold package, and original language material and ancient text material, SIL and UBS books, discourse Hebrew OT and Greek NT. PC with Windows 11

Maybe it's time to add these to Logos Book Requests on FeedBear, since I don't think Faithlife pays much attention to this forum for book suggestions anymore.
