We started Updated Works because we believe that modern Christianity has lost its way, becoming a watered-down version of the past. Rich and deep orthodoxy and orthopraxy has been replaced with weak self-help books masquerading as Christian thought. We believe this is wrong and must change.
The big question is...how can this change?
Using 2 Kings 22:8-13 as a guidepost, we believe that exposing people to God's Word is the key that picks the lock. Our view is that we must unshackle ourselves from the present moment, zooming out to identity and discover the best Christian thinkers throughout history.
Instead of rejecting two thousand years of Christian history, we should lean into it. We should mine the scriptures like the Bereans did (Acts 17:11).
While we are Protestant, Reformed, and have a strong bias towards these authors, we also will publish early Church fathers, Josephus, and others. We want to expose you to a variety of thinkers.
We use a combination of algorithms and human review to update these works. If you ever have feedback on an updated passage, please drop us a note. We hope you enjoy this resource and may God bless you as you dive into these works.
Would you like to support us?
We'd appreciate any support if you feel led. Specifically, please buy a physical copy of a book. All proceeds fund website administration expenses (which we keep very low) or go towards translating more books! If you'd like to purchase books in bulk, please contact us.
