SACRED TEXTS NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT

It costs thousands of dollars a year to pay for this sites' bandwidth and maintenance. Without your continued support, sacred-texts would go offline or have to be scaled back. Your support is crucial; this site does not receive grants or institutional support.

The best way to support the site is to purchase the CD-ROM. The Sacred-texts CD-ROM has hundreds of books on it that are extremely hard to locate, including all of the major world scriptures. If you buy a copy, you can feel good knowing that you are helping keep this site online.

If you've already purchased the CD-ROM, or you can't afford it, you can also donate directly using PayPal in any amount. For a limited time only, make a donation of $20 or more via PayPal, and I'll send you an copy of an older version of the CD-ROM. Hurry, supplies are limited! This offer will end when supplies run out.

You can now buy the CD-ROM using PayPal without having to actually sign up for PayPal. Also, you don't have to have a credit card to buy the CD-ROM using PayPal: you can use your checking account.

--J.B. Hare

This collection includes the full text of each book, many with footnotes and illustrations. To buy all of these books you would have to spend tens of thousands of dollars, even if you could find them: many are out of print and hard to obtain at any price. You pay just pennies a book: the CD-ROM costs just $49.95; worldwide shipping is free when you buy direct!

"Phenomenal collection"

Everything on the disk can be viewed in a standard web browser on your PC or Macintosh. Proceeds from sales of the CD-ROM go to support free access to the Internet Sacred Text Archive on the web and development of new etexts.
