Summary: An affordable, literal translation; stands the test of time
Comment: This series is the classic affordable version of the works of the early Christian writers from the first four centuries; hence the name "Ante" (meaning pre-) Nicene. While the English is starting to show its age and represents in many places a rather literal translation of the Greek and Latin, there is still much valuable commentary and many footnotes in this series. Volume I contains the epistle of Clement, the Letter to Diognetus, the works of Justin Martyr, the writings of Ignatius, and the writings of Irenaeus.

While the works in this volume are now available on the Web, I have found it useful to have the volume in my hands for making notes. There is ample room in the margins for note-taking, and the typeface and printing quality is very readable. There is also a Scripture index and a rather exhaustive topic index at the back of this volume, which I have referred to frequently to read about how the early church fathers viewed various issues.

Overall, I would recommend this series, and this volume in particular, as a "bread-and-butter" staple for Christians and non-Christians alike who want a reasonably-priced collection of the the writings which have influenced Christians for centuries.
