Christian Latin

This blog is devoted to presenting English translations of Christian Latin. The bulk of the enormous body of Christian literature in the Latin language remains untranslated into English and unavailable. Accordingly, this blog intends to correct that deficiency to the extent that it is able. The works selected for presentation here will generally not be found in English translation elsewhere, and, hence, will be on the whole short and relatively obscure.
