Catholic Bible Commentaries in English that Logos Lacks (so far)

I'm sure that there are a number of them, both older and newer, on both the whole Bible and on specific parts thereof. What are they? Can you recommend any of them? Is the absence of any specific titles/series particularly egregious?

I want to get a better idea of what's out there that isn't yet here.

Please note that this thread is specifically for commentaries, not for other kinds of scripture studies.

PS: Eastern Orthodox scriptural commentaries in English that Logos lacks thus far are also of interest to me, but please label them as such.

I have been hoping for a long time for the New Jerome Biblical Commentary, but Logos is having trouble arriving at an agreement with the publisher from what I heard. I do have the old one which used to be sold in Logos, but the new version was substantially re-written by s different editorial team.

I think all of my other favorites are in Logos now!

Do you have any "non-favourites" that are not in Logos?

http://community.logos.com/forums/t/21854.aspx suggests the Message of the Old Testament and Message of the New Testament series from Michael Glazier. Their Good News Studies would also be useful.There is another series for which I do not recall the name.

The Devotional Commentary from The Word Among Us is short and simple but worth having for introductory classes.

http://community.logos.com/forums/t/35016.aspx suggests two series: The Zaccheus Studies: New Testament and Interfaces. that are monographs rather than commentaries but are very scripture centered.

Then there is the Dalit Bible Commentary for an international view as well as The International Bible Commentary out of Liturgical Press.

From the other side of the pond I think, A New Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture by Reginald C. Fuller

For those that like the Liturgical Press offerings, there is the New Collegeville Bible Commentary.

Individual Volumes

Single Volume

Logos has the original version but not these newer ones.

Also, The International Bible Commentary.

Although not bible commentaries, I would also like to see the commentaries on the GIRM and Roman Missal also in Logos.

I have read cover to cover five of the New Collegeville Bible Commentary books (Gospels and Acts). They are good, but I like The Ignatius Press series (study bible) better. I also like the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture series better (commentary) though I have only read Matthew cover to cover. Since I have 5 of them in print (New Collegeville), I would not purchase them again in Logos.

I get the feeling from reading people's posts on the forum that I am different than the average/typical Logos forum member in that I purchase far fewer books and read through them more deeply.

As of now, there is only one commentary I want: Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture - Acts. I have had it on pre-order for over a year... I am leading a bible study on Acts at my parish in the fall, and I have a lot of study and preparation to do over the summer. I will buy that book in print if it is not in Logos by July 1.

Not this version, but 1 Clement is in Logos already:

The version I'm suggesting includes a commentary section.

I want to thank all of you who have listed Catholic scripture commentaries; most of what has been listed so far is entirely new to me. Please keep adding to the list! I notice that it is weak in pre-20th century commentaries so far; to my mind, older does not mean worse.

Also, are there any Catholic or Eastern Orthodox clerical Logos users out there who use particular Bible commentaries for homily/sermon/lecture preparation? I would appreciate hearing from you.

I know some are in English - some as TEAMS publication's which I have requested before, several from Benedictine sources which I think have been requested:

Thank you for adding to the list, MJ.

Cornelius a Lapide, S. J. (born 1566)- already in Logos

Well, partly. Logos has the volumes that have been translated into English, which is a small fraction of the original Latin.

A complete catalogue of Catholic literature; containing all Catholic books published in the United States, together with a selection from the catalogues of the Catholic publishers of England and Ireland might be worth checking.

Pp. 172-174 has the relevant list. A number of them are in Logos; a number are not.
