CHRISTIAN HISTORICAL REFERENCE LIBRARY
Read the historical sources, not just summaries of them.
A public-domain research shelf focused on Christianity and the Bible: the complete eight-volume History of the Christian Church, all three volumes of Creeds of Christendom, and Christian/Bible-related entries from the thirteen-volume New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge.
History of the Christian Church — 8 volumes

Creeds of Christendom — 3 volumes
Historical introductions and texts of major Christian creeds and confessions. Their presence here documents Christian history; it does not make every confession Born Again Daily's doctrinal statement.
Why the encyclopedia is filtered
The original Schaff-Herzog encyclopedia contains broader religion material. Born Again Daily exposes only entries that directly concern the Bible, Christianity, Christian theology, church history, Christian traditions, Christian figures, councils, doctrines, missions and related subjects. This keeps the public collection focused on biblical and Christian study.
