Documents of Church History
Fathers
of the Church
University of Pennsylvania Collection
This is a collection of documents of the writings of the Fathers of the Church. The actual documents are located throughout the Internet. The scholars at the University of Pennsylvania have included a brief synopsis of the texts. This is a very helpful tool for those just discovering the wisdom of the Fathers. This collection includes the texts on the New Testament. It is very strong on the Apostolic Fathers and the Latin Fathers. All works are in English translation.
Fathers of the Church II
Wheaton College Collection
This collection contains the thirty-eight volume Edinburgh Edition of the Ante-Nicene, Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers in English translation. The texts are arranged in order by the original printed volumes. All introductions and footnotes were removed. There are some typographical errors, but these are the classic English translations of the Fathers.
- St. Augustine Confessions
- St. Augustine Enchiridion
