Encyclopedia Puritannica Project
The Encyclopedia Puritannica Project sounds like an exciting project:
The
Encyclopedia Puritannica Project (EPP) is an inter-denominational
federation of Christians who are committed to the orthodox truths of
Scripture. We believe these truths to be well understood, articulated,
and applied by the Puritans and other Reformed teachers—both past and
present. Many of their works have been forgotten by the modern church
and have thus become practically inaccessible. It is our desire to see
these works, among the best in the history of Christendom, go forth to
the nations once again. This project, begun in 1998, is dedicated to
the accomplishment of this task.In the early 1990s, after the
advent of the scanner and OCR software, it became possible to convert
printed material to computer text with relative ease. In 1998, EPP
began to harness these technologies in order to produce quality digital
texts from Puritan and Reformed books. Our long-term goal is to make
every public domain, Puritan book available as digital text.EPP
puts a strong emphasis on textual quality. To ensure faithfulness to
the original source, we usually proofread our digital text back to the
printed book several times. We also refrain from editing or modernizing
the text, other than correcting obvious printing errors and
standardizing such things as Bible references and dates. We desire to
leave the text just as it was printed.To God be the glory, forever and ever!”
