A Supernerd Media project
About ReligiousBookshelf.com
ReligiousBookshelf.com is a growing shelf of classic Catholic books, transcribed and put online so that anyone can read them free of charge, on a phone, tablet or computer. The site is a project of Supernerd Media, which produces and maintains it.
Currently on the shelf are The Holy Bible, Old Testament and New Testament (the Douay-Rheims translation, Challoner revision, with the Challoner notes), Meditations and Readings for Every Day of the Year (selected from the writings of Saint Alphonsus), The Spiritual Combat by Father Dom Lorenzo Scupoli, and True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary by Saint Louis de Montfort, and The Catechism of the Council of Trent (the Roman Catechism, in Theodore Alois Buckley's 1852 English translation), and Fr. Martin von Cochem's Explanation of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (Benziger Brothers, 1896), and Thomas à Kempis's Imitation of Christ in Bishop Challoner's translation (The Following of Christ, 1838), and Saint Francis de Sales's Introduction to the Devout Life (Frederick Pustet & Co. edition, with an abstract of his life), and Saint Alphonsus Liguori's The Glories of Mary (translated from the Italian, Edward Dunigan & Brother, 1852). More titles will be added in the future.
Every book is set in a clean reading layout. Use the gear icon at the top right of any page to choose a Light, Sepia or Dark theme, a larger or smaller text size, and a serif or sans serif font. Your choices are remembered for next time.
Supporting the work
Scanning, transcribing and proofreading these books takes steady effort, and keeping the site online has a real cost.
If ReligiousBookshelf.com has been a help to your prayer life, please consider making a gift through Supernerd Media. Every donation, large or small, helps keep these books free to read and gives us room to add more.
Thank you for your generosity.
