Many people have asked about the possibility of obtaining the "Early Christian Writings" web site on a CD so that they can browse the texts and information off-line at their convenience. Now they can!

The Early Christian Writings CD contains the following:

• All 156 entries for the writers featured on Early Christian Writings.
• The texts for these first and second century writers: over 25 MB in 359 files.
• Info on many writers from Roberts-Donaldson, Kirsopp Lake, Wace, and others.
• Essays on "Historical Jesus Theories," "The Testimonium Flavianum," and other topics.
• Over 3MB for selected Church Fathers not readily available on the web.
• The full text for Philo of Alexandria in Yonge's translation.
• Over 6MB for 12,517 cross-references from the Ante-Nicene writings to the New Testament.

The following books are on the CD in HTML text or in JPEG images:

• The complete Greek New Testament in the Nestle-Aland 26 edition.

There is a free text searching utility for Windows called "Astrogrep" included on the CD. You may, of course, use any searching tool that you like. The CD consists mostly of regular HTML files. The CD can be used on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux operating systems.
