Review of Early Church Fathers Protestant Edition [CD] (CD-ROM)

. . .to any product that can make the writings of the Church Fathers more readily accessible.

But this edition doesn't get more than three!This is an electronic edition of "The Early Church Fathers" 38 volume set, edited by Philip Schaff, currently in re-print by a number of vendors.It's entitled "Protestant Edition" because it retains the vast number of notes and essays, penned mostly by 19th century Protestant scholars with serious anti-Catholic issues.So it loses one star here.The set loses a second star because it is quite dated.In the last 100 years, better, more scholarly translations have been published -- a fact recognized by Protestant and Catholic scholars alike.

NEVERTHELESS, this is a set well worth acquiring; and the electronic search features make research much less time consuming.
