I was not surprised to see that the City of God was not linked in a Vyrso book ... well not until I saw that Brown's book on Augustine was linked .... well until I discovered that the tagger mistook Peter Brown’s  Augustine of Hippo for The Gospel According to St. Matthew. Huh?

I'm not sure I want to know how Logos came up with this error. Hi Bradley, its 1:02 AM and it's my first bug of the day ... you want me to go read a book in dead-tree format?

Edit: a less interesting misbuilding of a URL in the same resource

    The "bug" isn't a bug... Just a well known limitation of the auto compiler. It isn't trying to link to Augustine at all... When the compiler thinks there is a biblical reference, it auto links. When the reference isn't clear (as in this case), it goes back to the last clear reference to pick up more info. In this particular case, the last CLEAR reference was in note 32 (barely shown in your screen shot) where Matt 5:28 was referenced. When the compiler sees "chapter 27," it assumes a biblical reference is being made. Errors like this are common. Another example: if a reference is given (i.e. John 3:16) and then there is text such as "In Matthew's Gospel Blah Blah Blah. Blah Blah Blah and Blah Blah Blah (see chapter 5)," the auto compiler will hyperlink "5" to "John 5." 

    The web link issue is interesting. "Church.com" is clear (there is a space after "xxx" and websites dont use spaces) so xxxchurch.com shouldn't be expected. What is interesting, however, is that the comma didn't cause a new hyperlink to be formed starting with the http://.
