How about the works of Dietrich Bonhoeffer?
If not everything, can we get The Cost of Discipleship?

I would buy that!

Fortress publishes a lot of Bonhoeffer and is nearing the completion of the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works in English. Fortress has indicated that they will produce an electronic version upon completion. Since they have used Logos for other electronically published titles, I sure hope they do for Bonhoeffer. This critical edition set would be a spectacular resource, and of course since it is his complete works, it includes Discipleship, Letters and Parers, Ethics, and Life Together and much more.

Great! I hope it works out that way. I bought several Fortress publications that came with Libronix versions included with the hardcopy book. A great value. Also, it seems they are quick to get to market once they start on something. Hopefully we will see this Fortress/Libronix relationship continue.
I would like to see the work of Bonhoeffer in Logos too!
"The Cost of Discpleship" would be a good electronic book. I imagine that book would be along the line of John MacArthur's "The Gospel According to Jesus" and "The Gospel According to the Appostles". I'm assuming Bonhoeffer's position is lordship salvation, based on him being quoted in John MacArthur's books.
Chris, I am not sure what you mean by lordship salvation. I can tell you that Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a (very good) Lutheran theologian. Thus, Bonhoeffer's view of salvation was a very Lutheran view of salvation. If you had asked Dietrich when he was saved, he would have replied with something like "around 1900 years ago with the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
I'll second that!
Yes! I do hope that Bonhoeffer will become available in the Logos format. As soon as it will be available I will buy it.

I'm interested in Bonhoeffer too. Actually it would be great if Logos would include the German text too.
Anyone here for more German text and perhaps also some German dictionaries? [:D]

I don't read German, but oh boy, if Logos were to open up the floodgates to German texts, there are a lot of theologians whose original works were in German and probably a lot more who haven't been translated yet. And I bet the German Logos user community would be very happy and would quadruple overnight!
A German dictionary would be good for those of use who don't speak German but come across the occasional German word or phrase in a theological work. Perhaps this would be a good Logos resource to have:

I would favor the publication of works in German, French, Spanish, Czech etc. This would require an English-<Language> dictionary as well as a <Language>-<Language> dictionary such as Wahrig, Deutches Wörterbuch since most bilingual dictionaries are inadequate in many areas.
Hi George,
Not only because of works in non-english languages but also because of non-english users of Logos. A fully integrated <Language>-<Language> dictionary can be very helpful in both situations.
I agree that a Deustch-Deustch Wörterbuch such as Duden or Wahrig would be a very useful tool. But for the beginner an English <language> dictionary might be more useful (or comprehensible).
A German <->English dictionary that I would really like to see would be the Langenscheidt Enzyklopädisches Wörterbuch Englisch. [A] If Logos have it they'll be the first one to do so (I'll be the first one to buy it too [:P]) and will probably bring in learners of German, since I don't think that anyone has it in electronic format yet.
They've already got:
I'd like to see them add German-English/English-German, and French-English/English-French dictionaries at the very least. There are decent online sites for all of these (and more), but it would be great to have them integrated into Logos so we can look something up when we come across a foreign word, or if we're reading an article in a language we're not fluent in.
Me too!

They also have the Diccionario General de la Lengua Española Vox . An entry picked at random:
dactilar adj. De los dedos o relacionado con ellos. sin digital.
As you can see, this is a Spanish-Spanish dictionary. We need these in other languages as well. We have 2-3 in English, but we could also use them for German, French, Dutch, Czech -- also British and Aussie
Aw, blimey. We don't need a British-British or Aussie-Aussie dictionary. They already know what they're talking about. But we could use British-American and Aussie-American (and why not throw in Canadian, too; the Canucks are royally confused about words and spellings -- being caught between the elephant to their south and the motherland they are still loyal to; most spellings are British - e.g., colour, centre, realise, canceling - but sometimes they go with the American over the British -- e.g., license; and often nobody here really knows the proper Canadian way to spell things -- whether it's a double 'l' or single 'l' in words like canceling is particularly confusing -- since they see so much American text up here; they've also got some unique and fun Canadian words, too: e.g., toque, loonie -- not that these would be of any help in Bible study, mind you [;)])

They also use that in the US in certain circles, but let's not go there.
Another vote for the works of Bonhoeffer.
Very much interested in Bonhoeffer's books!
Yes to ALL of Bonhoeffer's works.
[Y][Y] I thinks his Works would be a great addition!!!!!
It would be awesome to have at least some Bonheoffer (Cost of Discipleship, Life Together, and Ethics) available in Logos in the "smart book" (tagged) form.
As long as we are in the B's can't we also get some Martin Buber?
Perhaps it’s a publisher issue, but I have noticed that Bonheoffer's books do not seem to be available on Kindle either. It would really be nice to have this worked out so books such as these can be available for those of us who rely almost exclusively on digital books due to work situations.

I looked at some of the print editions and have come to the conclusion that there may be a copyright issue. I would imagine that the original edition (in German) is probably PD by now, but the translation may be another issue.
This has changed, Discipleship is on Kindle now http://www.amazon.com/Discipleship-Dbw-Vol-4-ebook/dp/B003BXRO3Y/ref=sr_1_6?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1320543686&sr=1-6
