But this edition doesn't get more than three! This is an electronic edition of "The Early Church Fathers" 38 volume set, edited by Philip Schaff, currently in re-print by a number of vendors. It's entitled "Protestant Edition" because it retains the vast number of notes and essays, penned mostly by 19th century Protestant scholars with serious anti-Catholic issues. So it loses one star here. The set loses a second star because it is quite dated. In the last 100 years, better, more scholarly translations have been published -- a fact recognized by Protestant and Catholic scholars alike.

NEVERTHELESS, this is a set well worth acquiring; and the electronic search features make research much less time consuming.
