I sort of suspected this and that's why in my original post I didn't include the code. On the other hand I did make mention of this discount. Please clarify if this is okay as I think it is okay and I would direct people to sign up for mailings which would allow them to receive future discounts. Surely this is even what Logos desires.
Please don't think I was picking on you… I "stuck" my tongue out at you to show I was teasing a little… I knew you meant only good. [:)]
To answer your question here: I don't think you should have mentioned the discount, because others may not be eligible for it. Some users can get really mad when they think an offer isn't extended to them. If it had been on a blog or on twitter, you could (and should!) have directed them to those pages. With email codes, some are given out broadly (i.e. to Verbum subscribers), while others are given out "only" to you and others who fit into the spaminator calculator (Dr. Doofenshmirtz would be proud) for resources owned, past purchases, etc. In either case, Logos has suggested that they don't want us sharing the codes.

Again, very well put, Ken.Ken McGuire said:But so far, whenever Rome officially states her views about Mary, I see her speaking of Mary's unique historical role in the life and ministry of Jesus and drawing conclusions from this. I do not quite agree with all of the conclusions, but it would be a caricature of Rome to not acknowledge where they come from.
Yes. And on the other hand, popular Protestantism has been overly enthusiastic against it! There is (and rightly so) much common ground about Mary than many on either side are aware. The book and article that MJ referred to highlighting this fact.Ken McGuire said:I will even grant that some popular Roman Catholicism has been overly enthusiastic about this.

That's the right attitude: read what the other side has to say for an informed judgement. I'm pretty sure you already know this and agree with me about this recommendation but it's also for whoever is reading this: Please keep on reading, and learning, never stop.George Somsel said:While I am not a Catholic and never have been, I bought the book and read it immediately since the treatment of Mary by the Catholic Church has always been a matter of disagreement with me.
I have only read snippets and not the whole book, so could you please post a logos link to that part in the resource discussing this? I'd like to get a closer look at it. Thanks!George Somsel said:In regard to Is 7 it is assumed that the עלמה was the queen mother

Not in your initial post, but when you cited Sleiman's post here you included the coupon code. This is not a big deal, no need for apologies etc. but since Logos gives us a lot of freedom here, I think we all want to comply with the limited set of rules they set up (see the sticky post by Phil Gons top of this forum if you wonder about these).Bruce Dunning said:Sleiman said:

I'm not sure I fully understand what you are requesting me to edit. I just provided the link to the resource and didn't provide the code.
Thanks so much for pointing this out. I didn't purposefully put the code here but I did use a quote that included it. I have now since edited it.

I see no reason why he shouldn't. I've been very grateful the times people have mentioned discounts I wasn't aware of, thereby giving me the chance to e-mail and ask myself.

I'm not sure I agree with you. I think mentioning the fact that discounts are available is a motivation for people to join the mailing lists.

Peace, George! Firstly, I plan to buy this resource very soon ...... Just haven't gotten around to it with "busyness" as per usual ............. *smile*
Second - Thanks for the "citation" code. Logos is getting pretty "clever" with the previews, eh???? It takes me to Logos.com shows me the contents and preview and shares very gently and encouragingly that I can buy the book ... Still smiling!

I understand that the more general topic of Mary in the OT (not only the queen mother theme) may not be as interesting to you; but because I personally find it fascinating and others might as well, I'm going to share a few more recommendations for checking this out.NB.Mick said:whereas I'm not personally convinced of the relevance of the OT queen mother we're to get in the resource this thread is about.
Mariology draws a lot from studies about Mary in the OT. Think Eve, Sarah, Hannah, Judith, Esther, the Ark of Covenant itself, etc. A good synopsis of this is in P.E. Benedict XVI's book (available in Logos): "Daughter Zion: Meditations on the Church's Marian Belief".
This link provides downloadable mp3's of a couple of lectures by Dr. Lawrence Feingold about Mary in the OT. Read about a summary of the lectures in this blogpost.
Lastly one of my all time favorites: Have you heard of St. Louis de Montfort? Logos has a collection of his works on CP. His treatment of Rebecca as a type of Mary in his book on the true devotion is so beautifully written it's unparalleled anywhere else as far as I know. You can read it online here.

I got it on pre-pub, but with or without the discount, it's a pretty inexpensive resource.

Trust me. [:#] Some people are anti anything to do with sales or "gimmicks." Everyone should get the lowest price possible, all the time. Always. Heck, why not make everything free. All the time.
A large retailer made a switch to a "fair price" model last year (lower overall prices, not many "sales" or "door busters"), and my wife was up in arms. I personally like the "fair price" model, but sales and gimmicks DO bring customers in and they often purchase MORE than without them.

I assume you're referring to JC Penny. That didn't work out too well for them. As a result their CEO got a ticket out the door.

Don't get me wrong, I am interested in the general topic of Mary, especially since it is one of the unfortunate things which strongly separate the denominations (probably more the praxis than the dogmatic - e.g. I understand the theological arguments offered by RC brothers and sisters that the rosary really is about Jesus, but it's something different listening to half an hour of repetition on a Catholic radio station). There surely is some Catholic overboarding but on the other hand there's a practical neglect of Mary in evangelical spirituality - which both could only win from a proper understanding grounded in biblical exegesis and the understanding of the Early Church Fathers (and even the Reformers).
One of these days I plan to make a Mariology collection for my library. Looking through some initial candidates I found that http://www.logos.com/product/20889/catholic-for-a-reason-collection#002 has a chapter by Sri on the Queen Mother topic ( http://biblia.com/books/catholicreasonii/Page.p_69 ), albeit in a much more casual writing than his PhD thesis we're talking about.

Yep. I personally liked the changes… It was quite unfair to Ron Johnson, who said it would be a 3 year fix. He was booted less than 2 years into it.

The trouble is that with a catastrophic 25% yoy drop in sales, they are burning cash way too fast. And there is so little margin for error in retail nowadays that these kinds of mistakes can be unrecoverable. Johnson had some interesting ideas, but he underestimated the time it would take to have realistic shot at pulling it off.
And just to keep this thread on track, I like Mary a whole lot!

After reading the paragraph about Is 7, I agree with you that the treatment does not provide proof or evidence. I don't think that was the intent however. The argument presented is still plausible and coherent regardless.George Somsel said:In regard to Is 7 it is assumed that the עלמה was the queen mother though there is virtually no evidence for that.
I may get fire back for posting the following, but please bear with me. It goes without saying of course, to understand the many Catholic Marian dogmas, one needs to (at least for the sake of reducing the confusion) step out of the paradigm of expectation that everything should be explicit in scripture alone, and allow for the historical aspect to help (tradition of interpretation and prayer in the church). Anglicans, as far as I know, like Catholics, believe that God speaks through the Church, the councils, holy tradition, nature, reason etc. Have I got that wrong? And as MJ reminds us once every while, lex orandi lex credendi. [:)]

Thank you for askingNB.Mick said:any suggestions of titles for a mariology collection?
Here's a good starting list, I think:
In Logos:
- Papal encyclicals related to Mary - The Papal Encyclicals: 1740–1981 (5 vols.) and Encyclicals of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI (34 vols.)
- St. Louis de Montfort Collection (4 vols.)
- The Glories of Mary by St. Alphonsus Liguori
- Daughter Zion by Joseph Ratzinger
- Mary: The Church at the Source by Ratzinger and Von Balthasar
Outside of Logos:
- Mary Through the Centuries: Her Place in the History of Culture by Jeroslav Pelikan
- The two Books recommended by Fr Devin are both really excellent
- Hail Holy Queen by Scott Hahn
- Mary Mother of the Son by Mark Shea
- The Orthodox Veneration of Mary The Birthgiver of God by (St.) John Maximovitch and Fr. Seraphim Rose.

- Mary: The Church at the Source by Ratzinger and Von Balthasar
It seems nearly all of those are prePubs i.e. not currently available.
I started with subject:(mariology, mary) OR abbrev:ccc OR title:"Vatican II" (this will give the above Catholic for a Reason, Redemptoris Mater, "Mary for all Christians" and " 'The Catholic Mary' Quite Contrary to the Bible?", Pohle/Preuss on Mariology plus Frisk's advent devotional) and I added Spe Salvi, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, "Aquinas on Doctrine" and for good measure http://www.logos.com/product/17810/wea-theological-resource-library-version-3#011 (evangelical critique of catholicism which has a chapter on Mariology, also to be found in ERT Vol 10 No 4/86) and Geisler's "Roman Catholics and Evangelicals: Agreements and Differences" (Mariology features under differences...)

Replying to myself for the sake of those who read the forum through a CSS feed/email:
Update after checking some more search results:
my suggested rule is:
subject:(mariology, mary) OR abbrev:ccc OR title:("Vatican II", "credo for today", "Aquinas on Doctrine", "ecclesia de eucharistia", "spe salvi", "a contemporary evangelical perspective on Roman catholicism", "Roman catholics and evangelicals", "more biblical evidence for catholicism")
where the titles mentioned individually contain a substantial chapter on mariology. Suggestions for further updates are welcome.
btw: MJ. Smith has created a Reading List from the resources and weblinks mentioned early in this thread. Thanks a lot!

Actually in building my collection I was checking whether there was a reading list on Mariology /Mary to make sure I don't overlook a resource in my library. However I think the churchmouse blog articles are not the level of scholarship we find in the other referenced sources (or in WEA or Geisler).

I agree. However, on a list of this sort I think it is important not to censor - if I reference the thread, I feel obligated to include everything I can from the thread unless it is outright abusive or promoting violence. I believe that the poster of the references finds them useful and that other Logos users will agree.
NB.Mick said:Do you need logosres: links for the respective chapters?
If they are not in my personal library what I need is the reading list "url" when the open resource is opened at the chapter:

When you open them within Logos, you can mark items as read as you read them (and click to open the resource to the correct location as per line) and you can add new items to them as you find new items you'd like to read.

I have added the link to Luther's exposition of the Magnificat, as well as some passages from the Tappert Book of Concord (unfortunately it seems that datatype links do no work in reading lists) In addition I added links to some of Dr. Robert Bertram's essays for the Lutheran/Roman Catholic dialogue in the USA.
I do wonder how much I should include that is not in Logos or easy web links, however.

First of all, thank you guys for the effort you've put into this. The reading list is a wonderful fruit of this discussion! I want to thank Bruce for posting his question in the OP, Bill for his posts that probably stimulated many of us with the reading suggestions, the wonderful manner and approach by the posters to turn the thread from the dangers (and temptations) of heated theological debates to a friendly cooperation for more education, and finally Martha, Ken, and NBMick for their valuable contributions to the reading list.NB.Mick said:

This all motivates me to contribute myself as well! I have however been busy racing to file my tax returns minutes before deadline yesterday, and today I've been too busy at work so far. I wanted to list the Marian-specific encyclicals and the Catholic church's documents on Mary separately. There's a great Wikipedia entry that lists specific Mairan encyclicals and I wanted to convert those to logos links in the reading list. There's also a series of articles on Wikipedia on Catholic Mariology, another on Mariology in general, both can even serve as sub-lists in the reading list. But right now time is my enemy. I will try to tackle this when I get home tonight or the next couple of days, if nobody beats me to it.

My personal feeling is that entering non-Logos materials is a way to give them visibility and increase demand for them. Therefore, I go by "should this be in Logos" in the best of all possible worlds?[:D]

This is exactly what reading lists should do. The nice thing is that it can continue to be updated anytime someone finds a worthy article ... it will show up as unread in all users' Logos app. In addition thing that show as locked because you don't own them will automatically show as unread it you purchase the item.

While that seems a sensible deduction, one must ask whether it can now be posted here because it is posted elsewhere or whether it was posted elsewhere because it had already been posted here. Which is the cart and which is the horse? In any case, I would recommend that from hereon care be exercised when considering posting any such codes.

Not at all: from their words and actions, it seems Logos is very keen on building web eminence, i.e. showing clicks, followers, likes etc.Thus, for them it is different if you- read the code here or
- if you access the Verbum blog, read the article(s) there, take note of the exceptional quality of the blog, buy products that are advertised there, tell your spouse, online friends and the kindergarden teacher about it and in course of that read the code there.
This is behind bullet 5 in rule #4. Some may say, no matter what the reason, let's do what they asked for - but it seems they got a valid point behind that.

As for the reading list: I added references to Marian encyclicals and apostolic constitutions as well as a couple of links to church documents from a more comprehensive list: from the beginning till Trent and all the way till the 18th century.

Neither? They've been posting coupon codes on blogs (at least the Verbum one) as far back as I remember. But as I understand it now, it's probably more about Logos wanting to have control on how the codes reach us; most probably as incentives to subscribing to newsletters or following blogs, tweets, etc.George Somsel said:one must ask whether it can now be posted here because it is posted elsewhere or whether it was posted elsewhere because it had already been posted here

Thanks for reminding us. Just to be crystal clear...Rule 4, bullet 5 states: "Please do not use our forums to:...post Logos Coupon Codes. If you are aware of a special promotion Logos is running online, you are welcome to link directly to the promotion."
I conclude from this that posting the link to the blog and saying that you can find the code there is acceptable.

Yes, that's what it says. Maybe I misunderstood your post (English is not my first languge)
"It" could be posted with "it" being the Coupon code itself: no
"It" could be posted with "it" being the link to Verbum blog that contains the code: yes, you're welcome to post it.
(But that's my private exegesis, I'm just another forum user trying to help)
Have joy in the Lord!
