Christian Classics Ethereal Library

This is an absolute goldmine of a site. With classic works from a variety of schools of Christian thought, this site has it all: commentaries, audiobooks, and classics books from people from as far back as Athanasias to as recent as Ray Steadman (With people like Bunyan, Spurgeon, Luther, Edersheim, and Pascal inbetween.)

My absolute favorite is The People's New Testament by B.W. Johnson. Originally published in 1891, this no-nonsense commentary may be one of the best kept secrets around. It lacks the depth of something like Jamieson/Faussett/Brown and the "loftiness" of Matthew Henry, but that seems to be the whole point. An invaluable resource to any teaching pastor.
