Got them all, read them all, use them all . . . would love to have them in Libronix! Maybe this is the start!

You should also consider the works of John Pilch ...
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

It's an excellent resource and would be great for Logos to have. I'm not familiar with the rest of Bailey's works, but I bet they're good, too.
