Note: The pages are starting to take shape and the actual text files are starting to arrive. So far, however, most links to actual files are not ready yet. Below are links to the sections that have actual content. I'm working on a pretty good collection of Christian writing from the likes of Calvin, Newton, Kempis, and Luther plus all the Early Church Fathers. Some of these documents are fairly long and loading them in your browser may take a little while depending on your connection speed.

Miscellaneous

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (545K) This is a remarkable document. It has entries for many years starting as early as A.D. 1 but really picking up steam in the seventh century. Many, particularly of the early years, are a single line but others contain multiple long entries. Very interesting.

Isaiah’s Job, by Albert Jay Nock, 1936 (29K). This essay was first published in The Atlantic Monthly in 1936. Albert Jay Nock (1870–1945) was an influential American libertarian author, educational theorist, and social critic.
