The Christian Classics Ethereal Library (CCEL) is a digital library that provides free electronic copies of Christian scripture and literature texts. CCEL is a volunteer-based project founded and directed by Harry Plantinga, a professor of computer science at Calvin College.It was initiated at Wheaton college in 1993 and is currently supported by Calvin College. The purpose of the CCEL is simply "to build up Christ's church and to address fundamental questions of the faith." The documents in the library express a variety of theological views, sometimes conflicting with those of Calvin College.
