Free audio resources

[Cynic]

Although I was never into sitting around listening to audio tapes, I recently bought an mp3/wma player in order to take advantage of my approximately-one-hour-each-way/five-days-a-week commute.

There are some nice free resources on the Internet:

1. The best site I have come across for links to free audio is http://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/arti...opic/audio.html . Among the links at this site are links to the audio of some seminary courses at Covenant Theological Seminary. In a bit more than two months, I have listened to nearly four complete seminary courses (you don’t get credit for this) from CTS -- a seminary affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America.

( http://www.covenantseminary.edu/worldwide/default.asp has links to robust offering of free CTS courses )

2. Another site is http://ccel.org/index/mp3.html . Driving and listening to someone read Jonathan Edwards’ sermon, “Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God,” I sensed some of the uneasiness that reportedly caused Edwards’ listeners to grab onto chair rails and building columns. ( http://www.ccel.org/e/edwards/sermons/mp3/...Angry%20God.mp3 )

As for literary stuff, the http://ccel.org/index/mp3.html site also has links to audio versions of Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina and Dostoevsky’s Notes from the Underground.

3. There is www.sermonaudio.com , which has sermons and lectures by numerous speakers.

4. A cyber-acquaintance of mine offers some readings (mostly sample sections of larger works) of some recent and contemporary Christian philosophers, including Cornelius Van Til, Alvin Plantinga and John Frame.

Thanks for those websites, Cynic - I'll have to check them out sometime soon. I'll save that MP3 of a reading of Jonathan Edwards' "Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God" and listen to it later this week. He's one of my favorites - I have the 2 volume set of The Works of Jonathan Edwards.
