Is there a list of all the citations of scripture of the Fathers in an index, such as when the Church Fathers quoted scripture and verse, a list of where it is located in the Fathers? It would be massive! Does any one know where to find such an index?
 
Well, you would have to dish out more money than you would for the Jurgens set, which is a bargain I think. But I know for a fact that the large Phillip Schaff (he’s Anglican) Church Father’s set has either a Scripture index in the back of each volume, or a book(s) dedicated to the Scripture index. Not sure, I forget which. Schaff did an excellent job of footnoting the works, well, except for the anti-Catholic stuff… Hold on, memory is serving me, yeah, there is a Scripture index in the back of each book, I remember because of some Pope St. Gregory the Great reading I was doing. Which makes it easy, like if you are mostly interested in just a few volumes, you could just buy those particular ones.

I know because my friend Jay has the set, and we’ve used it together at times.

www.cbd.com has them, I think the whole set is like $200 or $300. And that’s a bargain too!!

You’d probably be better off, though, if you found a good Catholic set of the books. My university library had one, I’m sure they would have Scripture indexes too.
