Welcome! We have been in the process of developing a software solution to compile all of the footnoted biblical allusions, references and quotations within the Church Fathers in canonical order from Genesis to Revelation. The results are now available at the following link:

Early Christian Commentary

A Verse by Verse Bible Commentary from the Church Fathers
