Some authors' work last a few years beyond the authors' lifespan. Moffatt is not one of them. His writings endure and inform today as they did two generations ago. I've always received insight from him, although I do not always agree with him. His writings have a cutting edge for the reader who wants to be challenged while being informed.David

James Moffatt was an excellent scholar. Many may not agree with his somewhat liberal views, but he was A1 in his desire for the truth of a matter. He's done some excellent volumes on early Church history called The First Five Centuries of the Church, which I would love to see added to this collection. And he did one on Presbyterian Church history also which would surely interest many here.

And let me just say his meditative works are also superb - I've just worked my way through 'The Second Things of Life' - re-preached a couple in fact! And I'm currently enjoying 'The Thrill of Tradition' - logos editors - can you add that on into this collection?
