As of 2019, Gorgias publishes 29 book series, including Gorgias Handbooks, Gorgias Ugaritic Studies, Judaism in Context, and Texts from Christian Late Antiquity.[8] In addition to books, the press publishes several peer-reviewed academic journals, including the Journal of the Canadian Society for Syriac Studies and the American Journal of Ancient History.[9]

In 2010, Gorgias published three volumes of peer-reviewed articles as part of Foundations for Syriac Lexicography in association with the International Syriac Language Project.[10] Beginning in 2012, the press published the first of an ongoing 35 volume English translation of the Antioch Bible, an Aramaic text of the Syriac Peshitta.[11][12]
