Early Church Fathers - New Testament quotes

Greetings!

Still learning the nuances of the uber-powerful Logos software. I am attempting to do something I am not quite sure how to pull off. I would like to "extract"/"lookup" a list of all the New Testaments Quotes from the early church fathers, Apostolic/Apologists.

Is this something that is possible?

Many thanks!

Chris

Hi Chris,

The Passage Guide has an Ancient Literature section that will show quotes from particular passages.

The downside is that you need to know which passage you're looking for. The example above is quotations from Revelation 1. You could create a custom passage guide with just the Ancient Literature section if you wanted to work on large portions of the NT (e.g. whole books).

Feel free to ask further questions if you need more help with this. Or perhaps others might have different suggestions — often there's more than one way to do something in Logos.

Hi Chris - and welcome to the forums

There are a number of ways of going about this depending on what packages / services you have.

Assuming you have the "Fathers" resources (such as Ante/Post-Nicene Fathers) you can search for references in each volume.

In the example below I am searching for all references to Matthew's gospel (using <matt> in ANF1). You can expand this for the entire Bible (<gen-rev>) but it might take a bit longer to run. Do this for all volumes and you are done.

You can search all volumes at the same time by creating a "quick collection" for all of them - in the example below I entered "series:nicene" in the filter and selected the 59 corresponding resources

which gave me

Another approach is using the Concordance. Please note this only works if you are a Logos Now subscriber

Here I am using ANF1 (the Concordance only currently supports one resource at a time) and looking at biblical references

Hope this helps. If any of it doesn't make sense please post back

Graham's suggestion is a good one, but bear in mind it will include allusions to the New Testament, in addition to quotations.

I believe that that reference list, in simplified format, would look like this: Matt 1:1 - Rev 22:21. [:P] If I'm off at all, it's not by much.

More seriously, though, Mark and Graham have you covered.
