The Christian Classics Ethereal Library provides access to Christian literature from all time periods. All documents, which can either be read online or downloaded, allow for a full text search. Conveniently, the entire content of the CCEL is searchable by author, title, format, subject and language. Additionally, they list the writings of the Early Church Fathers. The website does also have an online version of the Bible and offers several other English Bible translations, which is very useful in terms of comparison and close-reading research. Every work, which the CCEL provides access to, is linked to the online Bible. Thus, it is possible to have a look at several Bible commentaries as well as “Sermons and Meditation”, “Hymns” and other works which are referring to a unique verse of the Scripture.
