Vote to Update BAGD Citations to Point to BDAG

There is major support for having BAGD available for purchase in Logos. Although this is a popular request FL has not to date been able to fulfill this request.

The alternative is to update BAGD citations to BDAG. Vote here:

Your suggestion certainly makes sense, since BDAG is a closer cousin to BAGD, then HALOT to Gesenius, as an example.

And it's probably the ONLY practical solution to the problem.

But in Logosian dreams, I wonder if BAGD would be the wish-come-true?

It would certainly be for me, as commentaries as recent and local as EEC cite BAGD instead of or at least in addition to BDAG.

Wow, that's interestng. I'll avoid speculating why, but Faithlife's very own (almost) published commentary cites BAGD.

Wow, that's interestng.

And it's not confined to a single scholar. Two of their scholars adopted this practice.

BDAG just came out in 2000, so everything printed probably 2001 or 2002 and before is going to reference BAGD. So I personally think we need BAGD brought back to the Logos platform to correctly reference what the author intended to point out. I don't think changing the link destination to BDAG is the best option here, but others may disagree.

I'm fortunate to have a Logos version of BAGD, but it has not had its tagging updated in over 20 years and it is still in LBXLLS format.

I don't disagree with you Bobby, but, I've been major in the fight to see the return of BAGD and weary and worn from the fray. I don't see FL coming through for us on this and therefore would be happy if they adopted aligning/updating BAGD citations with BDAG entries.

My ample library has just North of 78,000 BAGD citations in over 663 resources.

FL sends us a message. Not Now! What do we say in response?

Now! What do we say in response?

Congratulate them? Sorry, but I can't support changing the links to point to a different resource i.e. pointing to something other than what the author pointed to. However, having the Lookup function in the context menu make the conversion would be quite acceptable.
