Learned about this tool (or something like it) when I read through Beckwith's "Old Testament Canon of the New Testament Church." I had fumbled around with how to use it myself some time ago. A tutorial I watched said that you could click on the names of the works (or the authors themselves) and you would be directed to some resource page. I never got that to work though. I was always directed to a broken link. Google works just as well though! Thanks for the pro tip on the Book / Chapter references. I never really figured out how to parse that information. One thing I've used Biblindex for thus far is to demonstrate the interest of ancient fathers in passages shedding light on the person of Christ over passages used to argue for a specific understanding of justification. For example, in the first couple centuries after Christ, John 1:1 had several hundred hits and Rom 3:28 had a couple dozen, or something crazy like that.
@@TheOtherPaul Hope it grows bigger! And hope it also eventually links to the actual works cited as much as possible too, so one doesn't have to manually check the reference off site!
@@TheOtherPaulIn the past I used it myself. Now I would say it’s more efficient and preferable to combine Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (TLG) search with Corpus Corporum project for Latin.
@@TheOtherPaul One thing which would make it so much better than it already is, is if it had quick links to all the author's works it cites. Searching them by yourself can be tedious, especially if they're not in English or by an obscure author.
@@AbsurdScandal I experienced this too and it is tedius. The databse is based on the quotations from Biblia Patristica which often has different book and chapter divisions than newer translations. The book and chapter divisions in BIBLIndex do correspond, however, to the TLG (thesarus lingua graecae). So depending on how good hour greek is you can just read it on there or get a general feel for what its saying and then find the section in modern translations. same goes for patrologia latina.
It wouldn't be a Christian website without Papyrus font.
Bro this will make my studies so much better, thank you!
A pleasure!
This tool rules! I wish I knew about this earlier.
It is quite new I think. But yeah.

Thank you very much for this very useful video.
Catena is also a great resource. Does the same thing with a better UI.
Amazing thing to see technology created for the glory of God. Here from Discord.
Thank you very much!
This is definitely going to help me in my research!!! Thanks Paul!!!
Excellent. Bookmarked.
Why isn't Augustine among the ancient writers? I just noticed that - they don't include Augustine's works in their corpus.
Yeah, I'm confused too
Just saw this too, RIP. It's an ongoing project tho so he'll eventually be in there:

@@AbsurdScandal Google ain't hard 😎
Thank you brother greatly helpful.
Based method
They use the papyrus font? I'm skeptical but I'll keep watching.
Don't disrespect papyrus here bro you're asking for trouble
Okay it's pretty cool. Thanks for the video! (Biblindex that is, I stand by what I said about Papyrus)
Thank you wise Elder Paul, sad you didn’t have Arthur Morgan do this video
Next time habibi
Biblindex is fine but it’s lacking a lot 😢
The core functionality is solid and is a game changer in itself
