[St. Pachomius Library]

Global Index

The following is an alphabetical list of Orthodox patristic texts, liturgical documents, and saints' lives of all eras available without charge on the Net. Some of these are part of the St. Pachomius Library; the rest are at other sites. As some readers may recognize, this list is partly an "Orthodox subset" of the ECOLE Documents Page, which we also edit. Eventually, brief notes for identification purposes will be added to all entries. (For a list of only those files which comprise the library proper, having been edited to our standards and fitted with internal anchors for easy citation of specified paragraphs, please consult the Local Index.)

We have tried to list only materials which are part of the Orthodox tradition. For us, the term "Orthodox" includes the non-Chalcedonian communion, but all texts from non-Chalcedonian sources are identified as such. We have included Western sources only up to about the year 1000. Certain writers are problematical: we have included St. Augustine although many of his theological opinions are contrary to the main line of Orthodox teaching; we have also listed Tertullian as a witness to the practise of the early Church, even though he himself eventually strayed into Montanism. On the other hand, we have entirely excluded Origen in spite of his importance. Some New Testament Apocrypha have been included, but the reader should view these works with caution.

God willing, this list will be continually updated; please send suggestions to redingtn@pobox.com.

Through the prayers of the holy Abba Pachomius, may this collection be of value to all those seeking the Kingdom of the Heavens even in this age!

Karen Rae Keck and Norman (Dionysios) Redington, Editors.
