In the nearly three years I’ve been writing this blog, I’ve never recommended anything for purchase. But about three weeks ago I brought the New Advent CD-ROM, and it’s such an extraordinary resource that I wanted to be sure to bring it to your attention this Christmas season.
Contained on this one disc are: the 38-volume collection, The Church Fathers; St. Thomas Aquinas’s The Summa Theologica; Douay-Rheims (English) and Vulgate (Latin) versions of the Bible; and the entire Catholic Encyclopedia.
I don’t know if you’ve ever used the online Catholic Encyclopedia, but … well, here’s what you’ll find under just the letter “A.” It’s just an insanely deep reference work, first published in (I believe) 1913.
The New Advent CD-ROM is on sale, right now, for an amazing $29.99. Shipping’s free (!). So I had to say something. It’s just so great.
(P.S. I feel stupid even saying this, but I know how some of my fellow [Protestant] Christians get about All Things Catholic. So … but, you know what? Never mind. Anyone, Christian or not, who can’t see the value of a collection like this wouldn’t ever read it anyway.)
