Mike Hanes, could you look into more of these?

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.

Frei is now in prepub!

Now we just need more from my list above

Personally I want some Karl Heim, Ian Barbour, and Arthur Peacocke....

Having to use some of these in paper right now, and wishing again they were 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

Great list, Ben!

Bump!

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.
