I would love to see the works of David Cloud on Logos. Anybody else agree?

    Me too, although he offers a lot of stuff in Kindle format and a lot of free resources in the same format. But yeah - it'd be nice if Logos and Mr. Cloud could make his resources available. However I rather suspect it may not be financially viable for Logos. Us Independent Baptists know Mr. Cloud, but how many outside of IFB circles have ever heard of him?

    I wonder if Mr Cloud would welcome a partnership with Logos, seeing how they carry Bible versions other than the KJB.

    From what I have read of Dr. Cloud's works, while he is a stanch KJV person, he does sometimes reference the NASB and a couple of other of the better translations, when he has problems figuring out wording. My impression is that Dr. Cloud is not anti-new Bible versions. Rather, he is anti-non-Textus Receptus versions and against any method of translation that is "dynamic" in its approach. He mentioned that when he does refer to other modern translations, he also takes into account the original manuscripts used in the relevant passages, so as to avoid error. 

    Remember, when Dr. Cloud is not doing his writing, he is in Nepal doing missionary work. He is very, very aware of the problems people have with the older English of the KJV, as well as the difficulty of translation.
