RDWLP inks CCEL licensing agreement
September 9, 2008 – 2:23 pm
The RDWLP is proud to annoucne its newest partner in making quality Christian content available to Christian academic institutes and organizations. The Christian Classics Ethereal Library (CCEL) has agreed to provide its content to the Ralph D Winter Library under special licensing terms, meaning that the students of Olivet can now access over 800 high quality Christian e-books ranging in scope from Spurgeon’s collected sermons to St. Augustine’s City of God.
The mission of the CCEL, according to a mission statement published in 2006, is simply:
The Christian Classics Ethereal Library (CCEL) seeks to build up the church by making classic Christian literature widely available and promoting its use for edification and study by interested Christians, seekers and scholars. The CCEL accomplishes this by selecting, collecting, distributing, and promoting valuable literature through the World Wide Web and other media.
We hope that the e-books that have been painstakingly gathered and organized by the CCEL can be a rich source of content for our students and affiliated organizations, while simultaneously helping the CCEL fulfill their mission.
