After experiencing some frustration with the CCEL edition of this work, where in some volumes the sentences are chopped off whenever there is a footnote, I decided to spring for an eBook version from another publisher. As another reviewer stated, this edition thankfully does not suffer from the same problem. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed to find out that it is missing all of Philip Schaff's footnotes! It has the numbers in the paragraphs for the footnotes, but they are not linked to an actual footnote. I've checked on both my Kindle and the PC eReader. They're completely missing. Which is a huge disappointment, because there were so many rich gems in the footnotes.The seller should update the product description and stress that there are no footnotes.
Does anyone know of a publisher that *does* sell a Kindle eBook edition of this that retains the footnotes?

History Of The Christian Church The Complete Eight Volumes In One edition by Philip Schaff Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
I am still in the process of reading (and studying) these volumes. Schaff was a brilliant man and wrote well. I would like to have real links to the end notes. I have been searching for a complete (i.e. w/end notes) edition in hard copy.
I read in bed this 8 volume history, written in the late 19th century, over a period of 21 months or so. The lengthy lists of references which should be skipped and long quotes in Latin, French, and German I also skipped. The history starts with the apostolic period in volume 1, and goes well into the Reformation, with separate volumes on the German (Luther, Melancthon) and Swiss (Zwingli, Calvin, Beza) reformations. It ends, unfortunately, around 1600, and I intend to read from Latourette's shorter history to complete my survey. Schaff (and his son, who authored one or two of the volumes) takes an objective approach toward the facts, which are sometimes really unpleasant, but then takes a rather devotional approach to evaluation and from a Protestant perspective. I already knew some church history, but found this extensive discussion to be very helpful. The edition did have some spelling problems here and there with word substituions, and the occasional short Greek words or passages were handled very poorly with English letters but with unfamiliar renderings.
Excellent Resource. I spent a fortune to buy these books when I was in college and now I can reference them in my computer for practically nothing. It is good scholarship and easy to read but it is old. That means it misses the latest ideas and discoveries, but it also avoids the latest trends. I find this helpful to give perspective to current news and writing. As a simple example I enjoy his analysis of the rise of the Holy Roman Empire and its effect on the defeating the Muslim armies attempting to conquer the world. The one downside is that Schaff stops with the Reformation and does not address that last four hundred years.
I find this version (the 8 volumes in 1) to be the best version. The CCEL version, in 8 separate volumes, has a formatting flaw where text is lost wherever there is a number for a footnote. I appreciate CCEL and their work greatly, but that flaw makes their version for this work unreadable.
Very detailed. Not for the casual reader, but if you really want the details of church history then this will give them to you. Great for research help or to confirm details that you think you already know. The version is fantastic because it has a "search" function to help with this as well.
One of the best books I've ever read on church history. The depth of scholarship is breathtaking and the manner in which Schaff honors Scripture is so refreshing and I anticipate much benefit as I continue through this volume.
There are many secular histories of the Christian religion on the market today. By this I mean that they are histories written from the cold, detached, and altogether bland perspective of a stodgy professor who has no personal faith-interest in his or her subject. As a Christian myself, I was thus thrilled to discover this "History of the Christian Church" by Philip Schaff, who, though he was himself a scholar, was also a devout Christian. As such, he unabashedly presented the history of Christian religion from a thoroughly Christian perspective. Indeed, in the Preface, Mr. Schaff indicates that "History should be written... as a book of life for instruction, correction, encouragement, as the best exposition and vindication of Christianity." If you are a Christian who believes in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you will no doubt feel very comfortable with this book; for its author presents us with not only the history of our religion but also the unfolding of God's eternal plan and purpose in that history. Furthermore, he accomplishes this in language that is neither lofty nor dumbed-down, a style that will surely appeal to the "average" contemporary reader, while he also makes this history truly interesting by coloring it with numerous fascinating details that bring the various personalities and events of the past to life in the reader's mind.
Highly recommended!
