Hello all. Outside of the kindle versions, I’m curious if anyone knows of a less expensive set of the writings of the Church Fathers (ante, post, and Nicene). The set by Schaff runs upwards of $1000 at a local bookstore near me. I’m wondering if there are any alternatives that might be less expensive. It doesn’t have to be Schaff’s version. I’m certainly open to Catholic translations since I am Catholic. It’s just the main one I’m aware of.
 
Watch Christian Book Distributors. They run a deal on that set every so often and you can get it for half retail, or even less. I found all 38 volumes on eBay years ago, brand new, never opened, for only $250. I felt dirty paying so little.

I haven’t found any I’m afraid, and I’ve been collecting hardcover editions of the Church Fathers in English, Latin, Greek and Syriac for the better part of a decade.

Note that Scriptural analysis software sell the complete set very cheaply, and they have the entire text indexed and tagged. Accordance is retailing it for $129, while Logos/Verbum is $99.
 
I was recommended an app called iPieta but i haven’t figured out how to use it yet; i was told the writings of the church fathers were on it but all i see so far is prayers. Its good to know its on Kindle tho, i hope its not prohibitively expensive. I love kindle, i have no more shelf space.
 
Logos has it?! Omg i have logos i was dumb and spent hundreds for a software program i barely use cause it was downloaded to my old laptop with the broken keyboard. If i can get it to download to my new one, i’ll be set! I can spare 100$ for such a valuable thing as the writings of the church fathers.

You can also get the Kindle versions for about 3 dollars, which I’m probably going to get. But there’s something about physical books that tend to make we want to read them more.
