I'm not sure I'd buy an individual JAT Robinson work, but I'd be interested in a collection that contained more of his work.

Many of Logos's core user base would not be interested in his works, since he was a liberal provocateur who challenged traditional theological concepts. But as the Bishop of Woolich and a prolific and influential theologian, he was an important figure in a significant period of the history of the Church in England and he's someone to be studied. He was active "during a time of considerable foment, unrest and change in society generally, in the church, and in theology and New Testament studies." The challenges and changes facing the church included: "England’s reconstruction during the postwar years; the Second Vatican Council in the mid-1960s; ...secularism and religious pluralism....Rudolf Bultmann and his influence in English-language scholarship, the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the new quest for the historical Jesus and redaction criticism of the Gospels."

EDIT: After seeing the link to the existing collection in pre-pub (which I've now bid on), I edited this post to strike through the ones that are already included in the collection and put stars next to the most important of the remaining ones (basically, the ones that publishers have seen as important enough to reissue).

There is a collection up on PrePub.

Thanks.  That's useful, but very pricey for just 3 volumes

Yes, I agree. I'm surprised the discount off the full price is so little for pre-pub. It might be a limitation of their contract with this particular publisher. Usually they're able to offer more off than that. I usually don't like to pay more than $10-15 per volume in pre-pub. Sometimes I'll go higher than that if I really want something, or if it's for volumes that normally would be way more each (and worth it).

Thanks.  That's useful, but very pricey for just 3 volumes.  Many of his works can be found in UK charity shops.  I've passed more copies of Honest to God than I can say.

I remember reading Honest to God while in cemetery.  I had occasion to speak with George Carey when he was lecturing at Notre Dame years ago and asked him how Robinson's view could be tolerated in the CoE.  He kind of blew it off.

EDIT:  I forgot to mention the main reason I was replying to you on this:  I think it would make a good Verso book.

It's a shame this didn't make it out of pre-publication.  Probably the fact that it was bundled with two less desirable books with minimal disocunt didn't help.  In any case, I have created a user voice suggestion.

I wish it would have made it through prepub too.

Give the book suggestion an upvote and maybe Faithlife will give it another try.
