Hope the LXX & Apocrypha can be added #9

I hope the LXX & Apocrypha can be added. Some of us Bible nerds want to study the Jewish backgrounds to the NT, and so the literature of Second Temple Judaism is in focus. The Septuagint (LXX), Jospehus, Philo, the Apocrypha, plus the OT Psuedipigrypha, and the Dead Sea Schools (DSS) are the crucial documents for this background or back drop to the Jews like Jesus the Messiah and Paul of Tarusus, who studied at the feet of Rabbi Gamaliel.

Dr. Dan, Sorry for the super late reply, but I wanted to let you know that LXX is very easy to add (just another version), and we have some hooks in the system for Apocrypha. However, we have a bit more work to do to add non-biblical texts (Josephus, etc.), but it seems more and more likely that we'll do that soon.
