I'd like to see Encyclopedia of Early Christianity Edited by Everett Ferguson made available in Logos format. I have the hard copy. The book is an excellent resource of material on Early Christianity.

Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This single-volume encyclopedia contains 977 articles by 135 qualified scholars of various academic and ecumenical backgrounds, with coverage extending from New Testament times to approximately 600 A.D. Entries cover persons, places, doctrines, and practices and include some articles on modern scholars important to the study of early Christianity. The entries vary in length, but each begins with a brief definition, or identification, followed by chronological or topical development. Excellent short bibliographies following each article give patristic citations, editions, translations, and studies. The articles avoid technical language and provide good basic summaries of the material. This work will be useful for teachers, scholars, and students as well as for reference work. Recommended for public and academic libraries.

Now I see that this is a one volume, if it is released in Logos close to kindle pricing it would be about $75

Now price point is the best thing about this series since FL is currently developing Encyclopedia of Ancient Christianity (3 vols.) I similar product but much more expensive: EAC is a 2014 Midwest Publishing Association Award of Excellence (Scholarly/Reference) 2014 Readers' Choice Awards Honorable Mention The Encyclopedia of Ancient Christianity covers eight centuries of the Christian church and comprises 3,220 entries by a team of 266 scholars from 26 countries representing a variety of Christian traditions. It draws upon such fields as archaeology, art and architecture, biography, cultural studies, ecclesiology, geography, history, philosophy, and theology. This three-volume encyclopedia offers unparalleled, comprehensive coverage of the people, places and ideas of ancient Christianity....

FL may be willing to offer this smaller work but hard to say what that market is for this smaller work, but like i said a more affordable price is a good thing.
