Is the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture hyperlinked to original sources in the Church Fathers modules?

The title says it all. How easy is it to find the original sources for the various commentary sections?

Sorry, no. Many of the translations used are not available for Accordance. ANF and NPNF are, but since they aren’t tagged with page numbers (though they could be if they were rebuilt from the CCEL ThML), there’s no way to automatically link the references. ACT has newer translations of some sources, but since it came later, ACCS doesn’t cite it. In general, the only way to link to a source would be by divisions like book, chapter, and section, but Tools usually aren’t tagged that way. So you’re left with the patristic Texts as the only thing that Oaktree could automatically add links to, and that would only cover a small fraction of the sources cited.

 

 Addendum: what you can do is add ACT, the Augustine Commentary, or the Chrysostom Commentary as a parallel. In some cases that’s an easy way to find the passage.

Personally, as I use the ACCS nearly daily, I would love to see the links added.
