Links to Christian Classics

I'm simply outdoing myself with all this linking I'm doing. But still cannot compare to this guy who is the King of Links.

Today's link is a bit on the nerdy side (as in, you won't be interested in any of these links if you are not a. a Christian; b. an academic; c. a very curious non-Christian.) In any case, in case you turn out be both a and b, or b and c, or just plain c, here are the places where you can find free Christian classics online.

The Church Fathers
This is a list of works by the Church Fathers compiled by the Roman Catholics. But since we are talking about the first 500 years of Church History, the history of the Protestant church is one and the same as the Catholic church. Incidentally, Protestants have been going back more and more to these early church fathers to seek the tradition and depth that they find lacking in theirs. Mark Noll and Carolyn Nystrom in an excerpt from their book "Is the Reformation Over?" talks about this phenomenom in the section "Shared Historic Roots".

The Christian Classics Ethereal Library
This site has a much larger range of classics that have have become royalty-free because of time. You can find key Protestant texts such as John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, Milton's Paradise Lost, etc. You will also find works from the Early Fathers such as Augustine's City of God, and even John Donne's devotions if you are interested.
