What does "from the church era" mean?

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/1331654#Comment_1331654

@SineNomine after the NT period, to the present. We currently use 100 AD as the start of the Ante-Nicene Church era.

@sean-boisen So "church era" means AD 100-> now?

@SineNomine We're trying to find useful bins for organizing information, and this seemed like an approximate date where events stop being about the biblical narrative and its most immediate aftermaths, and start being about the next phase of the church. That's not a theological claim, just a pragmatic tool, and maybe we'll make some adjustments: so you shouldn't read too much into this date. I suppose we could also say "after the close of the biblical narrative".

@sean-boisen My question was really about terminology rather than timing. (The phrase "since AD 100" makes a lot more sense to me than the term "church era".)

I'm a huge fan of this idea. I teach church history and these topics, organized in a data set, would be very useful. I would also like to have the ability to easily create graphics from the data. Much of this information is new to students (especially early and medieval church history) and graphics would go a long way to help explain the history of ideas, theologies, heresies, and doctrine.

Great idea

Correction for Bible Panel/Shortcut Key for Bible Panel
Something changed with the latest update. Before, I was able to enter a Bible verse reference in an open Bible panel. The Bible would then go to that specific verse, and I would be able to use the arrow keys (Windows) to scroll up or down in that passage. With the update, I need to click into the Bible panel in order to…

Create Option to Tie the Power Lookup to First Frame/Second Frame Instead of Just A/B/C/etc.
Sometimes I want my commentary to be linked to my text in an A-to-A relationship (see screenshots), but I want to have the Power Lookup looking at only ONE of them, even if I no longer have that tab as the active tab. Right now, if I also set it to follow A as well, if I click on the other pane, it will no longer follow…
