One of the major Christological works of the 20th century. I honestly thought this was already available in Logos.
Surprised there hasn't been any response to this suggestion, so I'm going to push a little harder. Assuming Mark was produced first (not sure if that's true or even matters; I always assumed each gospel was independantly inspired by YHWH), then Mark's "take" has a sort of gatekeeper effect in terms of achieving anything like an adequate understanding of Yeishuua`, ':Elohhiym, and Scripture. I see 3 traits that I combine under the "Messianic Secret" rubric: 1) Yeishuua`'s repeated admonition to his disciples and the individuals with whom He engaged to not spread His identity as Messianic miracle-worker; 2) Mark's repeated use of the word "immediately" to describe Yeishuua`'s movement through the narrative space; 3) Mark's droning insistence that the disciples were denser than dolomite, and fundamentally incapable (at that time—and in general principle) of understanding much of anything that Yeishuua` was saying or doing, which is/was a prophesied necessity of YHWH's plan…that is still in effect today. All of this stuff is "in there" (i.e. Mark), and it has been addressed by numerous scholars since, but Wrede was the first to comprehensively address this intuitive oddity. For all their disconnection, the rabbis have acknowledged something I have found to be true with regularity over the years, which is that wherever Scripture produces "difficult", "unexpected", or counter-intuitive data, that's where the juice is. Logos needs to include this resource, because, to amend Woody Allen, "we need the juice."
Agree, should be in Logos.
I went ahead with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005BFF3V0/
since 99 cents is hard to pass up! I have in Logos but like marking up on my Scribe.
What about having the German original in Logos/Verbum?

Denise, as the official forum Targums aficionado, you know anything about this book? Sounds like a great primer, at least regarding Messianism.
The Amazon link is for the 2nd edition. The picture is the 1st edition.
This is a four-volume set, still in production. The first two volumes are in print, the remaining two will be printed before the end of 2026. They are offered for the prices of around $100-150 per volume. The Amazon Kindle price is somewhat less. I would prefer to buy them for Logos. Can you tell me whether they will be…
