FL could make them into Reader Editions, with publisher OK, + so reduce the price. This might get them more action.

That one looks like it's very close.

This one has a status of "almost funded" and the progress bar is well beyond 90%, nearly at the 100% mark, whereas others seem to have attracted only 50% of what's needed.
Have joy in the Lord!

I would very much like to see this one make it. Any other pacifists or peace church types out there (Anabaptist/Mennonite/Quaker/Brethren, etc.) or those interested in studying different theories of atonement?

I pre-ordered it once I saw it on Thom's list.

I have the 1st edition in Kindle; I've now ordered it here. It's one of the key works in the revival of atonement studies in the last couple decades.

WHY????? What is it costing you
I don't know if you will get an official answer, but I have a guess. I assume that FL has some sort of contract agreement when they put these up on pre-pub. Those agreements may have timelines or may be pulled by the publisher. I don't know if this is relevant, but all of these are from Eerdmans.

Perspectives on Evolving Création has a fantastic line-up! I’ve been in since it got posted!

The Nonviolent Atonement, 2nd ed.
This one has moved somewhat closer to production but has a considerable ways to go for the little remaining time.
I would encourage anyone interested in atonement studies or systematic theology generally to go for it. This particular perspective may not be everyone's cup of tea, but as I mentioned above, it's been a key work in the revival of atonement studies of the last few decades. What is important about works like this is more the questions they raise than the answers they provide. They really get you thinking in different directions, which is key for development in understanding theology. It's an important work that should be in Logos.

Yes, I have a physical copy of this but would love to see Logos implement it. I pre-ordered this ages ago.

I put in for two of these books. I have no idea how FL calculates a viable profit to fund the work of putting a book into Logos but I am sure it's not cheap to do. I think maybe they should beat the drum more to push pre-pubs. There's a lot of books and most people are simply not aware of them unless they are brought up to our attention on a regular basis above the usual noise we hear about monthly sales. Most people see what up front and rarely look at what's on the back burner.

Thom Blair (Faithlife) said:
This one is spectacularly important when it comes to the issues of religious freedom, continuity of Catholic teaching through time, and the interpretation and reception of the Second Ecumenical Council at the Vatican (aka "Vatican II"). It's also timely to get into Verbum/Logos, given Pope Francis' concerns in Traditionis custodes, which he published last Friday. It needs a bit more time and a bit of a push, and then it should do just fine.

Getting there! Just a few more pre-orders of this deceptively important work.
[quote]Why does Western liberal culture invariably weaken religious attitudes and so easily turn to anti-Christian secularism? Schindler and Healy raise the discussion on this urgent question to a totally new level in this book. They masterfully point out that only by linking freedom with truth can the Church provide an authentic Christian answer to the modern and postmodern disease of relativism.
