Historical Christian Thought is a project that organizes the sayings and teachings of historical church theologians, pastors, and teachers by topic.
Over the last 2000 years, the church has compiled a mountain of faith-producing literature. However, the sheer quantity makes it impractical for people to become familiar with the history of Christian thought.
Consequently, by organizing the writings of church leaders and respected theologians by topic, HCT gives you convenient access to the world of Christian thought. Our hope is that this will be a helpful study tool for people seeking to deepen their knowledge and faith.
Compiled Writings
- Polycarp to the Philippians
- The Didache
Help Needed
This is a monumental task and is currently under development. Consequently, access to the archives comes with a two-dollar-a-month subscription (you can cancel at any time). New content posted weekly.
