George announced Geza Vermes death back in May. He was a significant scholarly figure in Biblical, DSS, and Second Temple studies. While some of his work is in Logos, there are many resources that are not. The Wikipedia article on him gives a listing of selected publications. I suggest that Logos should put together at least one collection of his works.

Actually, if they choose to include more than just 5-6 resources, it would be nice to have two collections, a GVC1 and a GVC2, so that the price won't be prohibitive. Of course, Logos should include all the titles I want in one collection and put the rest in the other. [;)]

Okay, those are your marching orders...hop to it!

Thanks. [Y]

    Great suggestion.  Vermes' work paint a powerful picture of the Jewish life and context of Jesus' life.  This is a needed addition to the logos library!
