Have you been scouring your local bookstores for the works of Dionysius the Areopagite, but can't seem to find him in print anymore? Been dying to find out what John Chrysostom REALLY said in his original Russian? Have you been wearing thin the local library's copies of Calvin's Commentaries? If so, look no further than Christian Classics Ethereal Library!
My professor for Reformed Worship showed it to us yesterday; it's a great resource for those who want instant access to the theological works that have shaped our tradition. If the translation is in public domain, it's probably posted to this collection (or may be soon!). All the volumes include are free for download. For those of us in Seminary, this is a great relief to our book budget (though, sometimes, the more recent translation is worth the money). I hope you all enjoy!

that is amazingly cool
I frequently find the CCEL quite useful. Just one little nitpicky point: Chrysostom wasn't Russian. He was a patriarch of Constantinople and I'm pretty sure his extant corpus is in Greek.
Kyle,
Thanks for the correction. It seems odd, though, that CCEL has his resources available in Russian, but not in Greek. As Russian isn't a particularly common language around here, I just assumed that was the original (which I really shouldn't do.) Anyone have an explanation?
