  1. Landau, Brent. Revelation of the Magi: The Lost Tale of the Wise Men’s Journey to Bethlehem. HarperOne, 2023.
  2. Jacobs, Andrew S. The Life of Thecla: Apocryphal Expansion in Late Antiquity. New York, NY: Cascade Books, 2024.

These are books to be referenced in the same manner as The Apocalypse of Moses or The Book of the Bee i.e. just like all the other parabiblical texts - milestones/references.

3. Scott, Bernard Brandon, and Perry V. Kea. Out of the Shadows, the Acts of Paul and Thecla: A New Translation and Commentary. New York, NY: Cascade Books, 2024.

This should be treated like a commentary as in the Hermeneia parabiblical commentary volumes.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    @MJ. Smith There are many reasons why some titles might be classified as Ebooks, even though it can be argued that they "deserve a promotion" to either Logos Edition or Logos Research Edition.

    We often refer to this process of changing a book to a higher standard as "upcycling".

    We can't do this without first entering into a contract with the publisher.

    There are some books that could be upcycled, but we need to decide which ones to prioritize.

    Situations like these should not be considered bugs.

    Please post requests for Ebooks to be upcycled in the Book Requests forum.
