Not all resources for The Precious and Sacred Writings of Martin Luther were downloaded?

Hello everyone,

I'm very sorry that there have been some problems with this collection. I'll investigate each problem that has been reported and post on this thread when I figure why we're missing these large chunks of material. Thanks for your patience!

Don--

Luther’s Catechetical Writings: God’s Call to Repentance and Faith, Luther’s Large Catechism: God’s Call to Repentance, Faith, and Prayer, and Luther’s Two Catechisms Explained by Himself: In Six Classic Writings were combined into a single resource: Luther’s Catechetical Writings (LUTCATECHETWRIT)

Luther’s Christmas Sermons: Epistles was packaged with Luther’s Church Postil: Gospels Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany (LTHRSCHRCHPPHNY)

I don't think so. That resource only has gospel sermons, no epistles:

   

I think I shared an archive.org link to each of the missing resources above.

Hmm...I'll look into it.

I have updates on a couple of the problems with the Sacred and Precious Writings of Martin Luther Collection.

1. Psalms Commentary

It does not appear that Lenker ever finished publishing his edition of the Psalms commentary. I cannot find any conclusive proof that he published the second volume. A sizable amount of anecdotal evidence suggests he did not.

However, Lenker's edition was a copy of Henry Cole's work that had been published about 75 years earlier. Lenker borrowed several volumes from Cole. Cole completed his work and we have the resources we need for Luther's Commentary on the First Twenty-Two Psalms from that.

We are going to add the original Cole edition to our Sacred and Precious Writings of Martin Luther Collection with no additional cost to those who own it. We will be updating the product to reflect this, but you will not receive the Psalms commentary until production is complete.


2. Church Postil Sermons on the Gospels: 13-26th Sunday after Trinity

This volume was inadvertently missed and was, unfortunately, not included in the collection.

We're going to place this on Community Pricing for bidding and produce it separately. It will be added to the collection in our internal systems.

Besides the fact that combining resources like this has the potential to confuse users and references, I do wish that the Catechisms themselves were tagged with the BookOfConcord datatype for ease of reference with other versions/translations.

1. We found a single book that combined all three works. It wouldn't affect citations and put them all in a single resource.
2. I agree about the milestones. I'll get that updated and pushed out.

Thanks Matthew. Is #2 above, the Church Postil Semons on the Gospels, the one that will give us the sermons for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany?

We initially meant to remove the Christmas sermons on the epistles from the product description but failed to do so. Since we promised the resource, we will be producing it and providing it to everyone who purchased the collection as soon as it is complete. 

For reference this is the work: https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_0BcUAAAAYAAJ

I may as well mention now that the table of contents mentions five sermons that are not actually included in the book. After much digging we've reached the conclusion that those pages simply don't exist in physical form any more. If any Luther experts out there know where those pages might be lurking we'd love to include those sermons as well.

Hi Kyle, 

I'm no Luther expert but I did manage to find those sermons. In fact they show up in a few places. See here:

and also here:

It'll be great to get the problems with this collection ironed out. 

Colin 

I forgot to thank you earlier but these materials worked perfectly. Thank you so much.

Hi Kyle, 

I just checked this resource - see here:

https://www.logos.com/product/54422/the-precious-and-sacred-writings-of-martin-luther

It is suggesting that I have to pay for Luther's Christmas sermons on the Epistles. I assume I'm not the only one in this situation. Could you look into this to ensure those of us who purchased the package which included this resource in the original description will indeed receive them? 

Thanks,

Colin

Thank you for pointing that out. No, you should not have to pay for Luther's Christmas Sermons. We just updated the collection to fix this discrepancy. Please let me know if you still notice this in 24 hours.

I should mention too that the Product Description for the Christmas Sermons on the Epistles is wrong, whether the 5 'missing' sermons are included or not. It says: 

"This volume contains three of Luther's practical sermons on the epistles and exhorts Christians to practice the lessons taught by their parents and pastors. Luther argues that Christian knowledge and zeal must work together to develop a balanced Christianity."

There are 12 sermons in the complete version of the book. There are 193 pages in the incomplete edition. Has this not been updated with the other 5 sermons? 

Colin

Yup. It'll be 12 sermons. I've passed this along to the marketing team and they'll get the description updated.

Lastly I should mention, Luther's Christmas Sermons should be finished by the end of September and available to you in early October.

Thanks for your help.

Still says that I need to pay for the "update" 

I'll look into it for you. 

I took a moment to check your account and you own a license to Luther's Christmas Sermons. Once its finished you will have access to it without having to pay.

I don't know enough about how pricing is works to know why its saying you need to pay something for the update so I'll have to ask on that point.

Could you post a screenshot of what it is displaying for you? Thanks.
