The Early Church Fathers.....

Stephentlig

I have already quoted some links in the Christian resource Centre of where most of the Fathers writings can be found, however I know there are a lot more out there, probably too big to put on ones computer, but is anyone aware of any books I could buy of the ECF's? or any discs that contain a library of their homilys?

If any of my Catholic/Orthodox and Anglican friends can help me out with this one I would very much appreciate it.

God bless and take care,
Stephen

I don't think there's a more complete on-line edition than at the Christian Classics Ethereal Library:

http://www.ccel.org/fathers.html

This contains the 38 volume collection of the Ante-Nicene Fathers, the Nicene Fathers and the Post-Nicene Fathers. It's based on the 19th century edition, now out of copyright, but there have been subsequent editions, and you can buy copies from Amazon (rather expensive - around £15-£20 per volume from Amazon.co.uk, but there are cheaper sets available from Amazon.com). Alternatively, you can download PDFs from the CCEL site for a nominal price. The text can be read on-line, but it's rather slow to load and navigate.

An excellent resource, thanks for the link.

I read the Ante-Nicene Fathers as a plugin of e-Sword. Its a free download from http://www.e-sword.net/extras.html
