Extracanonical works often have very long and combursome names. One of the missions of Other Gospels is to standardize common shorthands for these texts. This simplifies references when quoting passages. For example, it's much easier to say Thomas 70 than The Gospel of Thomas Logion 70. Similarly we prefer Power 10:11 over The Idea of Our Great Power. The following table lists these shorthands as well as the names scholars commonly use.
