Another Classic book recommended by Christian Classics Ethereal Library is Tertullian’s book called ‘On Prayer’. This follows on from Origen’s book on prayer for a series of classic prayer books.
As with Origen, Tertullian was an early Church leader (155 – 222). Tertullian’s life was full of claims of heresy within the Church and counter claims of heresy in life. He is perhaps best known as being the author that first used the term Trinity to explain the Godhead.
Tertullian believed that prayer replaces temple sacrifices. He argued that individual petitions should be added to the Lord’s prayer – not that Jesus intended us to continually recite it word for word. Tertulian’s model for prayer also invariable focused on spoken prayer, and prayer together. This is linked to his view that prayer was basically worship.

The latest Classic book recommended by Christian Classics Ethereal Library is Origen on Prayer.
Origen was an early church father (185-254), and s you may suspect this book is mostly about prayer! In it he highlights four types of prayer from Timothy 1:
- requests
- prayer
- intercession
- thanksgiving
The latest Classic book recommended by Christian Classics Ethereal Library is Catechetical Lectures of Cyril of Jerusalem (c.313–386).
Christian Classics Ethereal Library linked their reccommendation to a review from Lester Ruth from the Asbury Theological Seminary at the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship website, an extract of which is below:

This month’s free audiobook from Christian Audio is The Man Who Was Thursday by G. K. Chesterton. It will only be available in March so don’t hang around. If you are too late than you can get free text/pdf copies of the individual copies of the confessions as shown in the links at the bottom of this article.
The Man Who Was Thursday is a novel about two poets, Gabriel Syme (a poet of law) and Lucian Gregory (a poetic anarchist). It is a highly acclaimed novel from one of the great writers of the twentieth century. As with much of Chesterton’s writing it has powerful Christian allegories, but perhaps the bigger question is…who is the man called Sunday? Read the book and you’ll find out!
As ever, it is only free this month so don’t waste any time downloading the mp3 if you are interested.

Tithing by A.W. Pink (1886-1952) is a new addition to the Christian Classics Ethereal Library. Pink was born and lived much of his life in England although he also pastored churches in Australia, America and Scotland. Prior to his conversion in his 20s Pink was involved in a gnostic occult. In his own life Pink was never particularly well known, but Iain Murray says of Pink, “the widespread circulation of his writings after his death made him one of the most influential evangelical authors in the second half of the twentieth century.” Not surprisingly this book deals with the topic of tithing and its place in the modern church.
You may also want to visit Pink’s archives. This site is dedicated to Pink’s work, and has very long list of books available free from A.W. Pink.

Master’s Indwelling by Andrew Murray is a new addition to the Christian Classics Ethereal Library. Andrew Murray (1828-1917) was a minister from South Africa who was heavily involved in the South African Revival of 1860. He was a prolific writer, and produced over 240 books in his life.
Master’s Indwelling was initially a series of sermons that were then rewritten into book form. You can get in pdf, word, plain text or simply view it online at Christian Classics Ethereal Library. The essence of the book is whether Christ is living in you. Of whether the Spirit drives your thoughts and actions. CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE

Classic books

Last week Fred Sanders from the Scriptorium blog list the top twelve theology books from the history of Christianity. Obviously this is a subjective list, but there is no doubting it is a list of twelve awesome books.
When I saw the list I instantly thought a lot would be available free on Christian Classics Ethereal Library, as they were primarily classic literature. Then, just as I was about to write this post Fred sent an update confirming that eleven of the twelve books are available free!. Ten of these are from Christian Classics Ethereal Library, and one (Cyril of Alexandria) from The Tertullian Project. In fact the other one, the first on the list below is books from the bible so I trust you will all be okay getting a copy of that!
This is the first of a three part review of the year for free Christian resources. May and June were undoubtedly exciting months, with the blog launching at the end of May. It was quickly moved from the WordPress.com platform onto a self hosted WordPress set-up. As I settled into blogging, I was able to review some fantastic Christian websites including:
eSword
Without doubt eSword is one of the best free Christian resources you can get on the internet. It is a high quality piece of software (PC only) that really helps studying the bible.
Bible Gateway
Whilst eSword requires a download, Bible Gateway is a good online bible study tool. It is simple to use, and also has lots of extras that allow you to easily link from your website to the verses on their website.
Christ Art
Christ Art is probably the best Christian website with free clip art. There are lots of images and they are generally of a very high quality. They had one particularly good Christmas clip-art that I have recently shown on the ‘Where to find the best free Christmas clip art’ post.
