Classic Christian Library
A library of the best Christian works, over the centuries.
Here we collect the best in Christian writing online, all as free PDF eBook files. We provide eBooks of all types of Christian writing (Bible commentaries, systematic theologies, devotional works, topical studies, etc.), from many periods of Christian history (the early Church fathers, Puritans, Reformed, etc.). With the help of projects such as the Google Library Project, and the Internet Archive, it has become possible for anyone with a computer, and an Internet connection to have access to an excellent Christian library free of charge, that previously would have cost tens of thousands of dollars. To save you the time of digging through the Google and Internet Archive web sites, we are collecting these works here. This is a curated site, that contains works that are well-written, by writers who respect the divine inspiration of the Bible. If there is a public domain work that you think belongs on this site, please email me at ssper@ClassicChristianLibrary.com, and I will consider its inclusion. Also, if you find any broken links, please notify me. Enjoy!
“Divines who have studied the Scriptures have left us great stores of holy thought which we do well to use. Their expositions can never be a substitute for our own meditations, but as water poured down a dry pump often sets it to work to bring up water of its own, so suggestive reading sets the mind in motion on its own account.” — Charles Spurgeon, Commenting and Commentaries
