BDAG is among the most used and important Greek lexicons its 2nd edition BAGD is no longer available in the Logos environment. Nevertheless, it remains a frequently cited resource. It is on this basis we request that these citations to BAGD be updated to point to BDAG.

Meanwhile, Jesus kept on growing wiser and more mature, and in favor with God and his fellow man.

    I cannot support this proposal as I strongly believe that for academic purposes linking to anything other than what the original source provided the link information for is unacceptable and in some cases may be misleading. However, I would very strongly support adding the BAGD to BDAG conversion as a lookup link in the context menu. Any solution that emphasizes that it is not the reference from the text is acceptable.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    MJ.'s exception is well founded and her solution may have merit. I have found 78,258 citations in 665 resources in my library for BAGD. This is a non-trivial number and should motivate FL to offer the best remedy to this dilemma. I assert that reintroducing and updating BAGD is the best solution to this issue. It's time we had this matter settled.
