Sacred Texts
A focused group of public-domain works connected by subject, literary setting and recurring questions.
Independent digital catalogue
This catalogue gathers 100 public-domain religious and theological texts, sourced from Project Gutenberg, and organizes them into four overlapping categories: Sacred Texts, Theology, Sermons Devotion, and Comparative Religion. Rather than a simple list, each entry carries an editorial note on narrative voice, structure, and interpretive context, helping you understand a work's place in its tradition. Because the categories are deliberately flexible—works may appear under more than one—the collection rewards browsing across boundaries. To make your reading practical, three thematic paths are suggested: one follows Reformation hymnody and liturgy, another traces prophecy and national identity in the nineteenth century, and a third samples Victorian-era comparative religion. Each book record also notes word count and estimated reading time, where measurable, so you can gauge the scope before you begin.

Authored by Authors: Moody, Dwight Lyman, 1837..., 'Bible Characters — A Reader’s Guide' stands as a notable and significant work within the Theology category. A composite work compiling sermons and writings on biblical figures by Dwight L. Moody, T. De Witt Talmage, and Joseph Parker, with an introduction by C. B. Gillette. The excerpts reveal vivid, dramatic retellings of episodes like John the Baptist's beheading and Saul's campaign against the Amalekites, emphasizing moral lessons and divine judgment.
