An open source database that pulls up all historical Christian commentary on a verse in the Bible - e.g. see how the early church fathers interpreted a verse, it's often illuminating.

Was inspired by CS Lewis' comments about the "Old Books": "Every age has its own outlook. It is specially good at seeing certain truths and specially liable to make certain mistakes. We all, therefore, need the books that will correct the characteristic mistakes of our own period. And that means the old books."

This is awesome! I'm certainly going to be taking a look. I've been reading from C.S. Lewis's letters recently and found a lot of value, so it is especially nice to read this!
