Hyperlink Church Fathers

178294z · December 2013

I am curious if there is a way for Logos 5 to hyperlink to the text of the church fathers like it does to Scripture passages. For instance the Dictionary of the Later New Testament's article on 1 Clement creates a "pop-out note" on "1 Clem." but I would like it to hyperlink directly to 1 Clem. 47.7. Is this possible?

"When news of this reached Rome (1 Clem. 47.7), the leaders of the congregation there were sufficiently distressed by this breach of proper conduct and order and the damage it inflicted upon the reputation of the Corinthian church (1 Clem. 1.1; cf. 39.1)"

Another question too, the bibliography of Clement of Rome contains a note on, " J. B. Lightfoot and J. R. Harmer, The Apostolic Fathers: Greek Texts and English Translations of Their Writings" Is there a way to hyperlink to this resource or to automatically tell whether or not my library has the resource (which I know it does).

Normally references to the Church Fathers are hyperlinked. I'm surprised they aren't in this IVP dictionary. It seems to be a problem throughout this volume. Others of the IVP dictionaries do have the CF references hyperlinked (e.g., from "Canonical Formation of the New Testament" in Dictionary of New Testament Background: "Apart from these writings, many others that were not ultimately reckoned canonical nevertheless attained scriptural or nearly scriptural status in the first several centuries. Among these 1 Clement was prominent. Irenaeus spoke highly of it (Irenaeus Haer. 3.3.3), and Clement of Alexandria called it “a writing of the apostle Clement” (Clement of Alexandria Strom. 4.17).")

Logos, please rectify that in an update to this resource soon.

This issue is a general problem with most bibliography entries in Logos, and it has already been reported in this thread.
