{{overview}}The Christian Classics Ethereal Library is a volunteer-based project to provide free electronic copies of Christian scripture and literature texts.
{{opinions}}It was founded by Harry Plantinga in 1993. The project is supported by Calvin College.
{{quotes}}The current project includes an Internet web site for processing documents. Books are scanned and run through optical character recognition. Volunteers can then edit and correct the texts through a web interface. This is similar to (and predates) Distributed Proofreaders.
