Been a long time ... so let's walk down memory lane and ask again

Collected wishes from this thread in General:

Michael Gaskin said:

1. Church Fathers

2. Encyclicals

3. CCC and then you can click on the actual references and read. (like the book, Companion to the CCC).

4. Pontifical Biblical Commission documents

5. Doctors of the Church.  Maybe a collection of all their writings? Goodness, that would be awesome!

6. Vatican II documents, not just the final ones, but the drafts as well.  (Got a course on V2 coming up!!)

7. Sacra Pagina New Testament Series

Dominick Sela said:

8. The NEW Jerome Biblical Commentary, R. Brown, J. Fitzmyer, R. Murphy Editors

I'd love to see collections of works of more recent Catholic theologians (...) I'm thinking of people like Karl Rahner, for example)

Dan DeVilder said:

I'd love to see the Liturgy of the Hours.  I personally own the abridged "Christian Prayer" book and use it daily for morning and evening prayers.  Having that in Logos would be a great benefit. along with the little "St. Joseph's Guide to the Liturgy of the Hours."

Throw in Schnackenburg, too!  And the lesser known: "Will Catholics Be Left Behind" by Carl E. Olson.

MJ. Smith said:

I would like to see two series: The Zaccheus Studies: New Testament and Interfaces.

MJ. Smith said:

I've got one volume of the companion Berit Olam which I like very much but I went for the much more affordable Old Testament Message series for Carroll Stuhmueller on the Psalms first.

(...) I'm trying to catch the following commentaries as the volumes are released:

• The Word Among Us Devotional Commentary series (non-Logos)
• Orthodox Bible Companion (non-Logos)
• Chrysostom Bible (non-Logos)
• Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture (one volume forthcoming in Logos)
• Hippo/African Bible Commentary (non-Logos)

(...) I desperately want The Community Bible to be available in Logos; and I wish more of my money went to Logos rather than dead trees.

Navarre would be a good alternative.

If we have Ignatius on board the Scott Hahn has the NT Study Bible. Again he is well known by many.

I do have (I know again sorry) a special request for the NJB which bizarrely is not available to the British even though it is essentially British!

Contemporary  Catholic Theology (Gracewing Hayes & Gearon)) would be most welcome!

An interesting rebuttal of Beottner is "Catholicism and Fundamentalism" by Karl Keating.

Missed this one:

MJ. Smith said:

we need a Jaroslav Pelikan collection. [For those who don't know Pelikan is a Lutheran scholar who sounded Catholic and became Orthodox]

Michael Gaskin said:

Addition: 

Catholic Encyclopedia - Edited by Scott Haun

The Church and the Bible - St. Paul Edition.  This is simply a book that lists all of the official Church documents for the last 1800 years.  Stops at 2007.  This book has most of the PBC documents, so it would take care of a lot of requests.

Thank you!

Code of Canon Law

The Latin-English edition by the Canon Law Society of America. And later on the CCL for the Eastern Rite Catholic Churches as well.

I also support most of what's been mentioned above.

Here are some further additions:

• Catholic reverse interlinear[s ], so I don't have to keep the NRSV at the bottom of my priority list just to make Translation Rings and such work. (Remember, my prioritized Bible translations tend to be Swedish, Catholic or Jewish, none of which have RI's.) The NRSVCE should be fairly quick to do.
• The Little Rock Catholic Study Bible (since MJ speaks so highly of it)
• Office, Missals and other liturgical books for both the Western and the Eastern rites (full versions, including things like the consecration of churches and the consecration of virgins) (and well tagged, so they can be linked and compared)
• Norman Tanner: Decrees of the Ecumenical Councils (2 vols) (expensive, but includes the original languages)
• Neuner/Dupuis (ed): The Christian Faith in the Doctrinal Documents of the Catholic Church (latest edition!)
• Austin Flannery: Vatican Council II. The Conciliar and Post Conciliar Documents/More Post Conciliar Documents (at least 2 vols.) (latest edition!)
• Fergus Kerr: Twentieth-Century Catholic Theologians
• Collections by:
  • Thomas More
  • Henri de Lubac (especially Splendor of the Church, Corpus Mysticum and Medieval Exegesis)
  • Yves Congar
  • Scott Hahn
• Mark Shea: Making Senses Out of Scripture, and By What Authority?
• A Catholic Spirituality Collection, part 2, with books like:
  • The rest of the works of St John of the Cross and St Teresa of Avila
  • St Catherine of Siena: The Dialogue
  • The early English mystics: Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe, Richard Rolle, Walter Hilton, The Cloud of Unknowing
  • Jean-Pierre de Caussade
• Jacques Maritain: An Introduction to Philosophy
• FC Copleston: Aquinas, and A History of Philosophy
• Paul J Glenn: A Tour of the Summa
• Thomas Weinandy et al: Aquinas on Scripture. An Introduction to his Biblical Commentaries
• Thomas Weinandy: Does God Suffer?: A Christian Theology of God and Suffering
• Jéan Danielou: A History of Early Christian Doctrine before the Council of Nicaea (3 vols)
• All the important patristic and medieval writers that are still missing
• The introductory books on Patristics suggested here
• The books on Liturgy suggested here
• The ecumenical books suggested here
• Hebrew Catholic authors, like Cardinal Lustiger and Israel/Eugenio Zolli
• Various Orthodox resources like the EOB, the HOB, the Orthodox Study Bible, a good Catechism, the Way of the Pilgrim, Philokalia, Vladimir Lossky, Timothy/Kallistos Ware, Alexander Schmemann...
• High quality Catholic Journals (I presume biblical and theological would sell best)

For Vyrso:

• Maria von Trapp: the books behind Sound of Music (Very good, especially the first and last/third. Give a nice picture of Catholic family life. (The film only covers a small part, and not too faithfully.))
• JH Newman's novels
• GK Chesterton's novels
• Georges Bernanos
• Flannery O'Connor
• Michael O'Brien
• TS Eliot: The Murder in the Cathedral
• Dorothy Sayers: The Man Born to be King

And just in general, I want more books from publishers like Ignatius, Paulist, Cistercians, St Vladimir, Sheed & Ward, SCM...

Pulling from old suggestions that I think are worthy:

It would seem that some of these from Walter Brueggemann might be worthy of inclusion in LOGOS - this list is from Wikipedia:
