Adding a blurb about pre-pubs about to be dropped to the homepage might draw a lot more attention to them as it could reach a much larger audience than the forums. I had never seen this resource until Thom's post, but as soon as I saw this it immediately intrigued me and I placed an order. I have to think I'm not the only one who would grab an interesting historical resource like this once they became aware of it. It would be all the better if it's content was accessible through the factbook!

Well, it sure looks close. Signed up.
What caught my eye was the slave articles. Granted a current subject, but my curiousity derives from Egyptian sin-lists in my recently shipped OT Parallels resource (quite interesting, even if not so parallel). Owners were not to offend their slaves' gods.

Sorting Pre-Pub's that are Gathering Interest by Progress shows:
#2 => The Nonviolent Atonement, 2nd ed.
#3 => Early Christian Families in Context: An Interdisciplinary Dialogue
I will place an order for Early Christian Families if someone will give a reciprocal order for The Nonviolent Atonement.
