I would really appreciate a more international flavor to Logos resources across all denominations.

I would hugely appreciate that. We in North America are so impoverished in knowledge of how the rest of the world (outside of Europe) interprets the Bible, how Christianity developed there, etc. I took a whole class on the History of Christianity in Africa, and I still feel that I know just a drop in the bucket.

Some books I'd like to see in Logos

• A World History of Christianity (Adrian Hastings, Eerdmans)
• History of the World Christian Movement: Earliest Christianity to 1453 (Dale T. Irvin & Scott W. Sunquist, Orbis)
• Readings in World Christian History (John W. Coakley & Andrea Sterk, Orbis)
• The Bible in World Christian Perspective (W. Ward Gasque & David W. Baker, Regent College Publishing)
• The Cross-Cultural Process in Christian History: Studies in the Transmission and Appropriation of Faith (Andrew F. Walls, Orbis)
• A History of Christianity in Africa: From Antiquity to the Present (Elizabeth Isichei, Eerdmans)
• Christianity in Africa: The Renewal of Non-Western Religion (Studies in World Christianity) (Kwame Bediako, Orbis)
• West African Christianity: The Religious Impact (Lamin Sanneh, Orbis)
• Jesus of Africa: Voices of Contemporary African Christology (Diane Stinton)
• How Africa Shaped the Christian Mind: Rediscovering the African Seedbed of Western Christianity (Thomas C. Oden, IVP Academic)
• The African Memory of Mark: Reassessing Early Church Tradition (Thomas C. Oden, IVP Academic)
• Early Libyan Christianity: Uncovering a North African Tradition (Thomas C. Oden, IVP Academic)
• Theology in the Context of World Christianity: How the Global Church Is Influencing the Way We Think about and Discuss Theology (Timothy C. Tennent, Zondervan)
• The Lost History of Christianity: The Thousand-Year Golden Age of the Church in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia--and How It Died (John Philip Jenkins, HarperOne)
• An Introduction to Third World Theologies (John Parratt, Cambridge University Press)
• Chinese Intellectuals and the Gospel (Samuel Ling & Stacey Bieler, P & R Publishing)
  

Some useful online resources that would be nice to have turned into Logos resources:

• Dictionary of African Christian Biography
• Theology in Africa (Journal)

But I don't really even know what to ask for, because I'm so limited in my perspective.

E g the recently deceased Coptic pope

Besides pope Shenouda, another interesting Copt is Matta al-Miskîn (Mattá al-Miskīn, Matta El-Meskeen, Matthew the Poor...). The name variations make it hard to find out what is translated, but St Vladimir's seems to have at least 2 titles (The Communion of Love and Orthodox Prayer Life: The Interior Way), and Amazon lists 2 other. There are also a number of translated booklets/articles.

The "Poor" part of his name is there for a reason. This guy literally sold two houses, two cars and two pharmacies, gave the money to the poor and moved out into the desert, where, as I understand it, he mostly lived on bread, water, and prayer in a cave. He's written a large number of books, and is a (perhaps the) major figure in the revival of Coptic Monastic life. Like for so many other radical renewers, his life went the full circle: in 1960 he was excommunicated, in 1971 he was a candidate for the papacy. I know of him because of his desire for Christian unity, especially (naturally) between the Oriental and the Orthodox churches.

Unfortunately, the Bible commentaries he wrote towards the end of his life doesn't seem to have been translated (yet...), so we'll have to do with his more spiritual works. Pope Shenouda had at least two 'contemplations' on books of the Bible on Amazon, though.
