Please, please...
I spend about 5-15 hours a day in Logos, and each day I come across at least 5-15 references to the Talmud in dictionaries, encyclopedias, historical sources like Josephus & Philo, as well as many monographs on a variety of topics. Yet we don't have copies of the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmuds available in Logos format. Why?
My question is more to the community than to Logos...they would likely sell it if the interest was there. What I don't quite understand is why the interest isn't there. If your resources quote the Talmud incessantly, don't you think they have a reason? Some of the most insightful comments about the Messiah come from the rabbis, even if they don't know who He is. There are rabbinic insights that dwarf the pablum of many if not most Christian preachers.
Ignorance isn't bliss...it's ignorance. Can we turn a light on please?
Perhaps we could get these two highly important resources in CP, or even as PrePub candidates?
Pretty please...and thank you.

Count me in if the price can be kept down. There are far too many bloated offerings lately.

This is great news! This may just open up Logos as a legitimate software option for Jewish students of the scriptures. I hope the happy coincidence of my request and the appearance on PrePub means the title will soon be moved into production. You can help by signing up for this PrePub. Now when your resources link to the Talmud, you can see from the source what is what. This is great news!

Btw, 50 volumes at $160 is an absurd $3.20 per volume...that's an incredible deal. The only thing I'd rather see go into production ahead of this is Hastings Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics which is one of the best Bible resources around. It's on PrePub too. Bid on both folks! You won't be disappointed.

I'm in too...price is reasonable (and more important) they are translated into English, so I can read them.
Just wish that huge set of sets of "early church fathers" material that logos wants to publish (can't recall the name right now) was similarly available in English; I'm decades away from being fluent enough in former languages to read through the material.
