I'd love to see Logos offer all the books in the “100 Great Books for Christian History Buffs” list in Christian History Magazine, Issue 72: How We Got Our History (logosres:ch72;art=art4512), and even make them a collection that could be bought together for a deep discount:

There are some really interesting titles on that list! But it's a bit misleading in places; Owen Chadwick, gen. ed., The Penguin History of the Church, 7 vols. is listed as a series, yet two of the individual titles of that series are also listed separately: Owen Chadwick, The Reformation and Gerald R. Cragg, The Church and the Age of Reason, 1648–1789. I had several of these on my reading list at university, and seem to own 4. Wouldn't mind them in Logos for a good price. I'd also be happy to have:
- Henry Bettenson, Documents of the Christian Church (Oxford)
- Timothy Ware, The Orthodox Church (Penguin)
- Just about all of the Medieval ones that aren't already available, esp. the Brown titles (Logos has far too little Medieval church history and doctrine!!)
Probably also interested in:
- Henry Chadwick and G. R. Evans, eds., Atlas of the Christian Church (Facts on File)
- W.H.C. Frend, The Rise of Christianity (Fortress)
- Philip Schaff, Creeds of Christendom, 3 vols. (Baker)
Then let's add:
- Bettenson: The Early Christian Fathers
- Frend: Saints and Sinners in the Early Church
- Thomas Merton on St Bernard
- F Copleston: Aquinas
- Paul J Glenn: A Tour of the Summa (an absolutely excellent book, that summarizes Summa Theologica question by question, argument by argument, in a very faithful way. Extremely helpful for a quick look up of Thomas' view.)
- Catherine of Siena's Dialogue
- St Birgitta's Revelations, http://community.logos.com/forums/t/24170.aspx
- The early English mystics: Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe, Richard Rolle, Walter Hilton, The Cloud of Unknowing
- The Patristic works I've suggested on http://community.logos.com/forums/t/25246.aspx
- The other church history books and series I suggested on http://community.logos.com/forums/p/18459/206101.aspx#206101
(The Post-Reformation works on Rosie's list hold little interest for me, though, and the American ones next to none, so you can forget about me buying a huge collection!)
(Sorry about the hijacking, Rosie, but I need some more votes on those links, so I'm taking every chance to promote them. [:)] )

Jaroslav Pelikan's The Christian Tradition would be a natural for Logos.

I'd second this suggestion. I think this is an area Logos could use some beefing up in.

A few of these are already available in Logos. In particular, I'd like to draw attention to Schaff, The Creeds of Christendom, which is part of the Philip Schaff Collection. It has currently gathered 76% of the interest it needs to go into production, and there are lots of goodies in it besides The Creeds of Christendom. Order it, if you haven't already!
