I took a look at Logos.com/orthodox and noticed a link to the Logos Orthodox blog, which is rather lacking in recent updates--and the most recent post seems to be broken. Is this blog dead, or what's up?

    It's in hibernation for the moment. Thanks for pointing out the dead post/link—we'll take a look!

    It's a new month. A lot of good things can happen in a month like October.

    The entire Logos Orthodox World seems to be in 'hibernation for the moment'.  Now as for the Blog there is much to be said it just has to be said.  However what is the problem with the rest of the Logos Orthodox World?    We appreciate the work the Gabe has been doing for other projects. Had he not helped they might not have made it out the door in a timely fashion.  But what is the hang up with the Logos Orthodox World? Are there just too few Logos Orthodox Resources, is it taking a very long time to get more Logos Orthodox Resources, or just too few Logos Orthodox Customers?   [[For some of the Orthodox publishers contacts with Gabe may have been their first contact in the e-publishing world and change takes time]]

    My immediate thought is:

    There are 21 Orthodox items in Community Pricing and 75 items in Pre-Pub ... we need to keep this moving to show demand if we want other items on our personal wish lists to show up.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I've never known Orthodox people to be slow to change.

    (That's a joke.)

    Yes, I work on many, many things, but Orthodox products are very much alive. As M.J. noted, the best way to help is continue to show support when new products appear on the website. Stay tuned! [:)]

    Is there a place to suggest a book for Logos or to provide demand?

    I would like to see The Orthodox Study Bible included in Logos by Ancient Faith.

    You may do any or all of the following:

    • email suggest@logos.com and include the ISBN if possible ... this is the method that the department involved pushes
    • use the Suggestion forum
    • use the denominational forums when you think that might be more appropriate
    • use the suggestion uservoice site https://suggestbooks.uservoice.com/  ... this uses a voting system to indicate demand

    With Gabe no longer at Faithlife, has the chance of the blog's revival gone down?

    Anyone? It needs help.

    Given that, unlike the other blogs focused on particular Christian groups, the Logos Orthodox blog is not presently linked to from the main Logos blog... [:(]

    Bump.  Note that it has been some time since there were new posts on the Orthodox forum.  Does that show lack of interest in the Orthodox products?

    And Yes, I did post a similar question on another slow forum.  Remember that to get action we need to be heard.

  • I know Gabe is no longer with Logos... That's about it though
