The Early Church Fathers
Reading the Early Fathers is the best way to learn what the early church held to be
true in both faith and practice. This wonderful site not only offers the complete versions of the
Ante-Nicene Fathers (The Writings of the Fathers Down to A.D. 325) and Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers
(The Writings of the Fathers from A.D. 325) but it also lets you download each volume as zipped text
files. What could be better! (http://www.ccel.org/fathers2/)

ICLNET's Guide to Early Church Documents offers a treasure trove of early church
writings and manuscripts including: Patristic texts, early creeds, and other important works in
the development of theology such as Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica.
