I had somehow never heard of the Ancient Christian Doctrine set before today, but it looks awesome!

[Abram K-J]

Confirmed--Ancient Christian Doctrine is excellent. On part with the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture. Both are now on sale, too.

 

I wonder: one of my favorite features in how Accordance tagged ACCS is the hyperlinked commentator/theologian names, so you can easily get at biographical info. I think I probably use this every time I read part of ACCS. Are there plans to add this same level of tagging to Ancient Christian Doctrine?

[Abram K-J]

Related: I do note the helpful "Timeline of Writers of the Patristic Period" section toward the end, but is there any sort of setting I'm not thinking of that I could tweak to make the columns wrap in a more readable way?

 

See here with large font and here with small. Text is cut off even at the smallest font size.

ACCS contains a section called 'Biographical Sketches' which we link each name to. ACD does not have this. We could link to ACCS, but the links would not appear in Instant Details.

Close the TOC, Library, turn off limit text width (if it's on), and give the Accordance window it's widest possible size and it will look pretty good. It's just a difficult table with so many columns (12 in total). We can possibly look at tweaking it a bit.

Aha! It was the text limit size. Oddly, I only ever think of that setting in relation to Bible texts, but it was obviously affecting what I saw here. Thanks! It's still a lot to squeeze in, but it looks much better now.

Thanks for the clarification, Rick. Would it be considered tampering (either with copyright, licensing, etc.) if there were a way to simply reproduce the "Biographical Sketches" section from ACCS into ACD, and then hyperlink to that? Though maybe the list of authors wouldn't be one-to-one in overlap, anyway.
