Theological Commons

On facebook today I saw a conversation by Bobby Grow of The Evangelical Calvinist which involved a link to Princeton's theological commons index.  If you are like me and had never before visited this site, it is a staggering collection of digitized historical, theological, ecclesaistical works (etc...) viewable in PDF format.  Best of all is its price, which is exactly zilch (for those of you using things like the Euro, fear not I already did the conversion: you owe bupkis).  They are currently even featuring T.F. Torrance's collection of ancient books, many of which bear Torrance's signature (and perhaps interesting margin notes, though I haven't investigated.)  One of the most immediately rewarding aspects is seeing how hilariously long old book titles used to be.  My favorite so far, from my brief glimpses into the Torrance collection is:

Conciliatory or Irenical Animadversions on the Controversies Agitated in Britain: Under the Unhappy Names of Antinomians and Neonomians By Herman Witsius (1636-1708)
