Advantages of the subscription version of the site are:-
* a site which is like an encyclopedia of early Church history
     with links to extensive background information on around 800 people and topics from the 1st to 5th century,
     links to information on around 230 church councils from the 3rd to 5th century
     all indexed, alphabetically, chronologically and by theme;
* a site which gives easy access to complete Greek and Latin texts which are in the public domain and translations (where found available) from the first five centuries. There are carefully indexed links to authors and their works, including an index of commentaries, homilies etc. by biblical book. Nearly all of the Greek and Latin texts from this period contained in the Migne Patrologia series are covered. Some other sources are also used. The texts used are the scanned versions available at Google Books and elsewhere. A distinctive feature of the Early Church Texts website is that where English translations have been found available online they can easily be read immediately alongside the original Greek and Latin. (A complete list of authors represented is here. A sample text is here.)
* a site which is like A Reader in early Church history and theology with
     250+ carefully prepared original language texts and translations (with over 2,200 printable pages) covering major themes and authors (complete list here);
     introductory notes to each text to place in context;
     carefully prepared printable versions of each text;
     background notes on each text;
     dictionary lookup links for each word;
     a site search engine;
     and more...
