What resources would you most like to see available in Logos?

Mike Childs

Logos has added so many resources lately. What is left that you would most like to see added?

1. Wesley's Works (the new Thomas Oden edition)

2. New Cambridge Bible Commentary

3. William Barclay's Daily Study Bible

4. NIV Application Commentary (the additional volumes not yet in Logos)

1. All Czech modern translations of the Bible, especially Czech Study Translation.

2. At least one Polish modern Bible translation.

3. Stanley M. Horton books, especially Logion Press Commentaries.

EDIT: As you can see here the Czech Study Translation is coming to Logos soon. Great news. Well, the other 3 modern translations (Czech Ecumenical Bible, Bible, 21st Century Translation and the Jerusalem Bible) are still in a waiting list... [:)]

HJ. van der Wal

2. At least one Polish modern Bible translation.

[Y][Y][Y]

It's hard to choose, but here are three works of which I had to consult the paper edition in the last 5 days:

1. John Calvin's sermons.

2. Mishnah (e.g. the "Giessen Edition").

3. Joachim Jeremias, The Parables of Jesus.

With Bavinck on its way, I also hope that Logos will continue working together with the Dutch Translation Society.

MJ. Smith

1. More early translations - Armenian, Georgian, Friscan, Anglo-saxons etc.

2. Standard glosses to the Vulgate

3. More materials from the Eastern Church fathers.

Nathan

How about some of the "ArtScroll Series", Stone Edition Chumash etc.

Logos has added so many resources lately. What is left that you would most like to see added?

1. The Oxford Bible Commentary (updated from Logos 2.1 to Logos 4 format).

2. The "New Interpreter's Bible" publications (Bible, Dictionary, Study Bible).

Mathew Voth

The unabridged Hebrew-Aramaic Lexicon!!!

Rosie Perera

The unabridged Hebrew-Aramaic Lexicon!!!

We have this one available already, that is if you mean the unabridged HALOT (Hebrew Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament (5 vols.)

Mathew Haferkamp

1) Adrian Rogers

2) Walter Martin

3) More Al Mohler

4) More Erwin Lutzer

Mike Binks

Almost everything else that Tom Wright has ever written.

In terms of extant theologians this must be the biggest gap in modern biblical studies.

Jason Saling

The unabridged edition of Foxe's Book of Martyrs. Particularly the 1684 edition http://www.greatsite.com/facsimile-reproductions/foxe-1684.html

Including all of the artwork.

DHG

The unabridged edition of Foxe's Book of Martyrs. Particularly the 1684 edition http://www.greatsite.com/facsimile-reproductions/foxe-1684.html

Including all of the artwork.

Great suggestion!

Rosie Perera

More and better Atlases, complete with all text, color illustrations, indexes, etc. E.g.:

Biblica: The Bible Atlas: A Social and Historical Journey Through the Lands of the Bible ***
IVP Atlas of Bible History
Moody Atlas of Bible Lands ***
Holman Bible Atlas
Macmillan Bible Atlas
Zondervan NIV Atlas of the Bible
Baker Atlas of Christian History *** - something like this would be invaluable because the Logos maps in Biblical Places do not cover the geography of Christianity after the New Testament. Would love to look up places like Hippo where Augustine lived, maps of Europe at the time of the Reformation (what parts were Catholic, what parts Protestant), etc.

*** I have all of these in print, and they are excellent; especially Biblica and the Baker one

Real Art! I want to be able to search in Logos for a particular Bible passage and find reproductions of all the great paintings related to it. Most of them are in the public domain. They are wonderful to use as illustrations for sermons and classes, and for one's own meditation/reflection on a Biblical story. There are vast numbers of these already available online and indexed by websites such as Art Concordance, The Bible and Art, Biblical Art on the WWW, etc. Logos shouldn't let free websites be the leaders in this area! Even though quality reproductions are available all over the web, I'd pay to have a good-sized collection of them all in my Logos Library to ensure that I'd have access to them all the time and they'd be of similar quality, high enough resolution for display in PowerPoint, with all the correct title/artist/date/location/Scripture reference information, all of which would searchable.

I hope for Henri Nouwen works!![:$]

Great suggestions; I am not familiar with your first listing though. I would also like to second Michael Childs' suggestion of more NIV Application commentaries. We already have available the entire NT and the OT prophets, but are missing Enns on Exodus and the ones from the historical and wisdom books.

Bohuslav Wojnar

Holman Bible Atlas

Great suggestions Rosie. More atlases would be great.

Just the note: we have Holman Bible Atlas already in Logos and it is my most appreciated one in my library. I got it as I upgraded to the Platinum Package.

For me, the complete works of:

Frederick Buechner, Walter Brueggemann, Jurgen Moltmann, Henri Nouwen, Barbara Brown Taylor, Howard Thurman, Paul Tillich, and N.T. Wright.

Also wouldn't mind either a collection of good religious poetry, or specifically the works of T.S. Eliot, R.S. Thomas, etc.

Oh, and a variety of works dealing with Celtic Christianity/Spirituality.

Andy

I know he is already represented to a degree, but it would be good to have the complete collection of the works of Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones... I am thinking particularly of his lectures on Romans...

lostlogik

I'd find it handy having Common Worship and Book of Common Prayer, especially on my iPhone (iPad, if I ever get the funds)

MJ. Smith

Book of Common Prayer,

We had several hints that we should see this in prepub "soon." If we can get it to production quickly that encourage Logos to obtain rights to similar works. Yes, Celtic Christian sources would be a nice addition.

Ben

NIV Study Bible (Zondervan told me directly that this was in Logos' hands, not theirs.)

Jewish Study Bible.

Etz Hayyim (a three-tiered Jewish commentary)

Civilizations of the Ancient Near East (CANE, 4 volumes)

Jastrow to make it out of Prepub

Elephantine Papyri (ok, I likely no longer have a practical use for this, but I'd like it anyway, and another company has it.)

Rashi?

The works of Robert Alter (Art of Biblical Narrative, etc.) and translations/commentaries (Genesis, Samuel, Psalms)

Oh, and The Torah: A Modern Commentary by Gunther Plaut

Mike Childs

the complete collection of the works of Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Yes, indeed. [Y][Y] Great suggestion, and better than any of mine.

(Though I would so love to see that new more scholarly edition of Wesley by Oden!)

Suzy

Revised English Bible

Kaye Anderson

Inductive Bible study guides from Precept Ministries

Bill Anderson

+1 for Buechner and Nouwen.

I'd also like all of Philip Yancey's books.

JimTowler

The NT works from Aland, and "Aland and Aland".

There are a few really important Aland works that I would buy in Logos format, but may end up buying the paper versions before long.

With Bavinck on its way, I also hope that Logos will continue working together with the Dutch Translation Society.

Ditto!

Logos has added so many resources lately. What is left that you would most like to see added?

A morph search that works properly (bring back the L3 method) and notes at least a good as in L3.

Rosie Perera

This is a fine thread, but I hope you all realize this is not the place to get your requests heard by Logos. I'm not sure they even have time to read the General forum. The best way to get requests seen is email them to suggest (at) logos (dot) com, because that goes right into an email Inbox at Logos and they'll log them in a database somewhere. Second best is post them in the Suggestions forum. That's second best because someone has to keep on top of the forum and sometimes they don't have time to read everything. They never respond on the Suggestions forum so it sometimes feels like a black hole. The email address does too, but at least you know it's going to some Inbox somewhere (it doesn't bounce) and won't get lost in the shuffle. There is also one more place to make resource suggestions: the wiki Product Wishlist page. We have not heard any recent word from Logos that they're actually paying any attention to it, so it's mostly a duplicate place for you to post your suggestions so that others can quickly see if something they are requesting has already been suggested. If you just want to send in the request once, use the email address.

A lot of good suggestions here. Is Logos interested in these requests? Do they want our input? Is there a way they could have user generated product requests like pre-pubs that "gather interest"? There are so many good books unavailable in Logos.

Did anyone suggest Graeme Goldsworthy's books?

Ken McGuire

Some that would have relatively wide appeal...

Bauckham's Jesus and the Eyewitnesses

Kaesemann's Romans

Barth's Romans

Walter Raushenbusch

fgh

Is Logos interested in these requests?

They are if you mail them to suggest@logos.com and/or post them in the Suggestions forum. Whether the right people see something that's wished for in the General forum is considerably more doubtful.

Steve Walker

Thank you for the info, fgh.

Torah Commentary: Midrash Rabbeinu Bachya (7-volume set)

Stephen Ornelas

I have a question which kinda goes with this topic. I'm trying to rationalize purchasing a LOGOS 5 plan, and i don't want to just purchase a whole bunch of material which will either go unread, or keep me from viewing the resources which I am most interested in. I'm loving the idea of the timeline, so at this point i'm looking at either a Gold plan or a Platinum plan. The thing is, i've been researching Apologetics and Patristics with a friend, and am seriously considering purchasing these three sets from Amazon.com; (or have been for over 2 years) - but am closer to pulling the trigger. In everything else, I have switched from purchasing books in print, and have moved to either Kindle, iBooks, Zinio, Kno, or iTunes-U. I have a Macbook, & an iPad2 to work with. I've also downloaded Olive Tree, Bible.com's App, and a number of other "free" App versions of Bible study or Scripture diving - but have not picked one as a solid winner to start investing in a large library with. in fact, all the books i've purchased in iOS have either been free in app purchases, or less than $2.99.

What i'm looking to purchase in digital format are these books from Amazon (however Amazon doesn't offer this in digital format):

Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: First Series, 14 Volumes by Alexander Roberts Hardcover $419.00
Series I of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers consists of eight volumes of the writings of St. Augustine, the greatest and most influential of the early Church Fathers, and six volumes of the treatises and homilies of St. Chrysostom. The series is edited by the eminent church historian Philip Schaff (1819-1893), professor at Union Theological Seminary, New York.
Volume Titles:
Volume 1: Augustine: Prolegomena, Confessions, Letters
Volume 2: Augustine: City of God, Christian Doctrine
Volume 3: Augustine: On the Holy Trinity, Doctrinal Treatises, Moral Treatises
Volume 4: Augustine: Anti-Manichaean, Anti-Donatist Writings
Volume 5: Augustine: Anti-Pelagian Writings
Volume 6: Augustine: Sermon on the Mount, Harmony of the Gospels, Homilies on the Gospels
Volume 7: Augustine: Gospel of John, First Epistle of John, Soliliques
Volume 8: Augustine: Expositions on the Psalms
Volume 9: Chrysostom: On the Priesthood, Ascetic Treatises, Select Homilies and Letters, Homilies on the Statues
Volume 10: Chrysostom: Homilies on the Gospel of St. Matthew
Volume 11: Chrysostom: Homilies of the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistle to the Romans
Volume 12: Chrysostom: Homilies on Corinthians, 1st and 2nd
Volume 13: Chrysostom: Homilies on Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians, Timothy, Titus, and Philemon
Volume 14: Chrysostom: Homilies on the Gospel of John, Hebrews
The Ante-Nicene Fathers (10 Volume Set) by A. Cleveland Coxe Hardcover $299.00
The Ante-Nicene Fathers ranges from the Apostolic Fathers to various third and fourth century sources including the liturgies and ancient Syriac documents. It was intended to comprise translations into English of all the extant works of the Fathers (with the exception of the more bulky works of Origen) down to the date of the first General Council held at Nicaea in 325 A.D. This American edition by Arthur Cleveland Coxe is a revision of the original series edited by Alexander Roberts and Sir James Donaldson and published in Edinburgh. The revision involves a major rearrangement to conform to the historical sequence, the addition of brief introductions and notes indicating variances in readings, specifying references to scripture or literature, clarifying obscure passages, and noting corruptions or distortions of patristic testimony (as forged in the Decretals). The basic aim of the translations has been to strive for literary exactness, placing the English reader as nearly as possible on an equal footing with those who are able to read the original.
Volume Titles:
Volume 1: Apostolic Fathers, Justin Martyr, Inrenaeus
Volume 2: Hermas, Tatian, Athenagoras, Theophilus, Clement of Alexandria
Volume 3: Tertullian
Volume 4: Tertullian (IV), Minucius Felix, Commodian, Origen
Volume 5: Hippolytus, Cyprian, Caius, Novatian, Appendix
Volume 6: Gregory Thaumaturgus, Dionysius the Great, Julius Africanus, Anatolius and Minor Writers, Methodius, Arnobius
Volume 7: Lactantius, Venantius, Asterius, Victorinus, Dionysius, Apostolic Teaching and Constitutions, Homily, and Liturgies
Volume 8: Twelve Patriarchs, Excerpts and Epistles, The Clementina, Aprocryphal Gospels and Acts, Syriac Documents
Volume 9: Gospel of Peter, Diatessaron, Testament of Abraham, Epistles of Clement, Origen and Miscellaneous Works
Volume 10: Bibliography, General Index, Annotated Index of Authors and Works

I guess what i'm asking, is are these covered in any one Plan of Logos 5? Am i being too overzealous in my quest for study. I'm looking at the plans and all I see from the list is a reference to Early Christian Fathers. I wonder to what degree these early Christian works are made available in Logos 5. I hear many people say that Logos 5 is worth every penny, and that spurs on my smile, and thought that if i make an investment in scripture, i can't go wrong, unless i just don't read. while I hear others look at me like i'm trying to purchase every language that Rosetta Stone offers. Should i just stick with the next language i'm looking to learn (eg: purchase a lighter plan and just start to fall in love with LOGOS gradually?) or is it better - given that the search factors in the specific questions you are looking for - to just dive into the faith and absorb as much as i can before i come up for air?

NB.Mick

Stephen,

welcome to the Logos user forums.

The resources you mention are part of the ECF collection available in a protestant and a catholic edition:

you'll see to the right of the screen the L5 packages where each of the two are contained. The Amazon Hardcover prices are ridiculous, given the fact that the Logos versions are searchable, linked and linkable etc.

Hope this helps,

Mick

The sets you mention above are what Logos calls "Early Church Fathers". For some more information about the Logos version, please see the product page at http://www.logos.com/product/5771/early-church-fathers-protestant-edition They are included in Silver and up collections.

As far as picking a package? The higher level packages are expensive, but they do include a lot of resources - including a lot of standard reference works that to purchase in any format would be expensive. You know what you can afford financially. In general, Logos tries to make the bigger packages into bigger deals, but how "good" those deals are is dependent on what you are interested in.

,

Mick,

Thank you very much - this answers my question, and i appreciate it greatly. [:D]

I hadn't seen that the Early Church Fathers came in two different sets: Protestant Edition & Catholic Edition. What's more is there is a link that shows me the authors in the sets. I love it! Thank you thank you thank you. PS: Thank you LOGOS 5. I think this just helped me make my decision. One last question - is all this content accessed via online search database through LOGOS 5, or is actually downloaded to the device itself?

Guided by Him,

Stephen

Unix

If You want the Catholic Edition, one option is to buy a minimum base-package at http://www.logos.com/verbum that contains it - if You want the additional books/Bibles.

I hadn't seen that the Early Church Fathers came in two different sets: Protestant Edition & Catholic Edition.

With very few exceptions all content is downloaded to Your internal drive (Logos 5 can't be installed on an external drive) and then indexed. After that You don't need an internet connection, You access Your books from the drive. For faster search response an SSD might be a good investment.
The only exceptions are the Faithlife Community that's on the internet and a few items that come on a CD or DVD, such as Catholic Practicum: Learn to Use Logos Bible Software, Biblical Archaeology Review collection (up to 2005, not sold anymore on the logos site, can perhaps be purchased second-hand), The Essential IVP Reference Collection Version 3 (if purchased second-hand (cheaper), Learn to Do Word Studies with Logos Bible Software, Learn to Use Biblical Greek and Hebrew with Logos Bible Software, Introducing New Testament Discourse Grammar: Video Series, but all those can be copied to the HDD or SSD, as I've understood it an external one will function.
