For those who have an interest in the world's scriptures, there is a free download called Ocean (http://www.bahai-education.org/ocean/) that is put out by the Bahá'is. It contains the main religious writings and scriptures of the Bahá'i, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Islamic, Jewish, Sikh, Taoist and Zoroastrian Faiths.
The Christian library includes the Apocrypha, the Confessions of St. Augustine, the Divine Comedy of Dante, the Book of Mormon, and the writings of Martin Luther. It does not, alas, include The Apostolic Fathers, Marcus Aurelius, or any of the Renaissance writings like the Piccolomini autobiography.
The Islamic library contains four translations of the Qu'ran as well as the Mathnavi of Rumi, plus other writings.
The Jewish library includes the Tanakh with the Kesuvim, the Nev'im, and the Torah. Sadly, it lacks Philo and Josephus.
The Bahá'i scriptures are of course thoroughly represented.
There's a great deal more....this is a terrific resource.
