What resources would you most like to see available in Logos?
Logos has added so many resources lately. What is left that you would most like to see added?
1. Wesley's Works (the new Thomas Oden edition)
2. New Cambridge Bible Commentary
3. William Barclay's Daily Study Bible
4. NIV Application Commentary (the additional volumes not yet in Logos)
"In all cases, the Church is to be judged by the Scripture, not the Scripture by the Church," John Wesley

1. All Czech modern translations of the Bible, especially Czech Study Translation.
2. At least one Polish modern Bible translation.
3. Stanley M. Horton books, especially Logion Press Commentaries.
EDIT: As you can see here the Czech Study Translation is coming to Logos soon. Great news. Well, the other 3 modern translations (Czech Ecumenical Bible, Bible, 21st Century Translation and the Jerusalem Bible) are still in a waiting list... [:)]

It's hard to choose, but here are three works of which I had to consult the paper edition in the last 5 days:
1. John Calvin's sermons.
2. Mishnah (e.g. the "Giessen Edition").
3. Joachim Jeremias, The Parables of Jesus.
With Bavinck on its way, I also hope that Logos will continue working together with the Dutch Translation Society.

1. More early translations - Armenian, Georgian, Friscan, Anglo-saxons etc.
2. Standard glosses to the Vulgate
3. More materials from the Eastern Church fathers.

In terms of extant theologians this must be the biggest gap in modern biblical studies.

More and better Atlases, complete with all text, color illustrations, indexes, etc. E.g.:
- Biblica: The Bible Atlas: A Social and Historical Journey Through the Lands of the Bible ***
- IVP Atlas of Bible History
- Moody Atlas of Bible Lands ***
- Holman Bible Atlas
- Macmillan Bible Atlas
- Zondervan NIV Atlas of the Bible
- Baker Atlas of Christian History *** - something like this would be invaluable because the Logos maps in Biblical Places do not cover the geography of Christianity after the New Testament. Would love to look up places like Hippo where Augustine lived, maps of Europe at the time of the Reformation (what parts were Catholic, what parts Protestant), etc.
*** I have all of these in print, and they are excellent; especially Biblica and the Baker one
Real Art! I want to be able to search in Logos for a particular Bible passage and find reproductions of all the great paintings related to it. Most of them are in the public domain. They are wonderful to use as illustrations for sermons and classes, and for one's own meditation/reflection on a Biblical story. There are vast numbers of these already available online and indexed by websites such as Art Concordance, The Bible and Art, Biblical Art on the WWW, etc. Logos shouldn't let free websites be the leaders in this area! Even though quality reproductions are available all over the web, I'd pay to have a good-sized collection of them all in my Logos Library to ensure that I'd have access to them all the time and they'd be of similar quality, high enough resolution for display in PowerPoint, with all the correct title/artist/date/location/Scripture reference information, all of which would searchable.

Great suggestions; I am not familiar with your first listing though. I would also like to second Michael Childs' suggestion of more NIV Application commentaries. We already have available the entire NT and the OT prophets, but are missing Enns on Exodus and the ones from the historical and wisdom books.

Book of Common Prayer,
We had several hints that we should see this in prepub "soon." If we can get it to production quickly that encourage Logos to obtain rights to similar works. Yes, Celtic Christian sources would be a nice addition.

Wow, thanks! I don't know how I overlooked that. I did a search for Atlas on logos.com and it didn't come up, but it's in the package comparison chart. And I have it in my Library (I have Portfolio) but hadn't even discovered it yet. Shows you I need to spend less time on the Forum and more time actually using Logos! [:$]
Incidentally, I'd love to see a new map search feature (akin to #image), e.g.: #map Jerusalem. It would find all maps (and only maps) with the search term(s) in the title or embedded in the map somewhere. Right now the best way to simulate such a search is to search for #image Jerusalem map, but it finds a lot of other stuff that isn't what you're looking for.

I would love to see inter-active maps, for an example, a map that has the ancient names of cities, in black-and-white and modern city names in color. The ability to turn off the old, or the new city names. Having the movement of the Exodus, the journeys of Paul move, showing Biblical references to each stop that was recorded.0 -

This has been asked for since I became a Logos user back in version 2.x I would like to see layers that you can turn off and off, such as modern political boundary lines, modern city names... as well as layers from different eras.

More on Islam, e.g. Montgomery Watt, Parshall, Annemarie Schimell.
Maybe Qur'an. Tho' I have it on other software.
Sufism, Bektashism (I live in a Bektashi village).

Very good price too! Thank you, Scott. Unfortunately other writings on Islam in Logos are part of big, expensive collections. What about an Islamics collection? If it looked good to me, I'd pay much more for that than for a big collection with not much about Islam. But I recognise my interest may not be shared by enough others to make it viable for Logos.
Kenneth Cragg's writings would also interest me. They'd form a collection in themselves!

For Islam and the like, I am far more interested in materials that show me what they believe and practice. I find apologetics tend toward misunderstanding the actual beliefs. Yes, there are exceptions. To me, understanding is a prerequisite to disproving.

Joihn, I too would like New World translation, if Logos could get permission, and it would be very interesting with Interlinear.
Martha, all the books I suggested on Islam except Gilchrist are concerned to help the readers understand what Muslims believe and practise, and how we can meet them where they are. Gilchrist is apologetic, but as far as I remember not polemical.
I'd also suggest works of Ahmed Deedat, if Logos could get permission, as they are anti-Christian polemic which affects many Muslims.
Also Glaser, Stacey, Miriam Adeney, on (mostly women in) Islam. I've sat at their feet and learned a lot, as also Parshall.
Also Mallouhi.

Lavon Bayler, a retired United Church of Christ Area Minister, published a trilogy of books about two decades ago that are prayers written for the liturgical years of A, B, and C. What I find particularly valuable about these three books are the accompanying hymns for the liturgical season that are set to very familiar, for the most part old, hymns that many of us grew up with. They are a good way of introducing new music with great familiarity.
Taught by Love: Worship Resources for Year A:
Led by Love: Worship Resources for Year B
Gathered by Love: Worship Resources for Year C
Even if you are not a liturgical preacher, which I would imagine the vast majority of Logos users are not, one would still value and appreciate these three works.
Here's a review from Amazon:
There is not a better book for worship preparation and I have used most of them in the past 17 years in leading worship. As a pastor called to guide worship each Sunday of the year for my congregation, I can only congratulate Bayler for his work here. He is obviously a talented writer and worship leader. This is one of three resources, each based on a particular year in the lectionary (years A, B, and C). Bayler has responsive readings, prayers, and liturgical guides for the entirety of worship. His use of language is well thought out, beautifully done, and his help here is a reliable guide for worship leaders. In the back of the book there are even suggested hymns, which he has written for each Sunday based on a well known tune. I have used this series for several years and have become more and more convinced that it stands out from the rest of the crowd of worship aids. Outstanding!
