Understood. Indeed there must be some contribution that authors like him can give to the academic world. (Not necessarily the Christian academic world). My point is that with so much to read about church history and about Jesus Himself, I respectfully don't think that Mr. Freud can enhance divine communication to a hurting world. As for Marx, well. . . history is the best witness!!! Just ask the Christian martyrs and the Jewish people. In my humble opinion in a tool that is dedicated to the Glory of God and His Word, neither Freud or Marx can actually give me something for my life to be enhanced by glorious knowledge. Maybe knowledge to defeat their own arguments, I guess in this case, I'll buy the books a B&N's. It seems that Logos is running out of books to publish so now they are going to publish wood, hay and stubble instead of gold, silver and precious stones. . . !! 1 Cor.3:12.

Not everyone uses Logos the way that you do. You don't have to bid on it, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Logos is trying to be expansive in its library, offering a host of options to explore the intellectual contributions of great minds throughout history. Some people (such as myself) appreciate the expansion. I think there are plenty of terribly bad books on Logos, books that are not at all helpful to any sort of academic pursuit of the Bible, early Christian studies, or religious studies, which are the things I use Logos for. However, I don't go on the reviews for all those books and talk about how terrible I think they are and how I wish Logos didn't even publish them. "Precious stones" are in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I think it's bad form to pooh pooh a possible Logos book when you're not even engaging its contents.

When I first started to use Logos 22 years ago, the only prime reason they existed was to glorify the Word of the Lord. I bought most of my books through a salesperson and I even visited them when they were in Oak Harbor. I saw all there intent in their first love, if you will. Well, it seems now that all available resource are game, not just the Word of God. I understand your point, though I respectfully disagree that Logos should mix up their products with other metals producing an alloy weaker than its first intent. Maybe Logos should have another department to produce other works not related to the Word of God. You see I find the Word of God to be so Unique and above everything else in creation that I cannot see it being put in equal line with works such as this. I am not doing any form of pooh, as you stated, (which cannot be applied to the Word of God), beauty in the eye of the beholder. If one cannot see the beauty of the Word of God, it's called blindness. Be blessed. . .

Here are all the separate volumes currently divvied up, totally well over $100 for the whole set, which (again) is available for free online:
