<p><b>Sources Chrétiennes</b> (<a href="French_language" title="French language">French</a> "Christian sources") is a bilingual <a href="Collection_(publishing)" title="Collection (publishing)">collection</a> of <a href="Patristics" title="Patristics">patristic texts</a> founded in <a href="Lyon" title="Lyon">Lyon</a> in 1942 by the <a href="Jesuit" class="mw-redirect" title="Jesuit">Jesuits</a> <a href="Jean_Dani%C3%A9lou" title="Jean Daniélou">Jean Daniélou</a>, <a href="Claude_Mond%C3%A9sert" title="Claude Mondésert">Claude Mondésert</a>, and <a href="Henri_de_Lubac" title="Henri de Lubac">Henri de Lubac</a>. Citations to the series are commonly made by the letters SC followed by the volume number.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2></div>

<p>The collection is edited by the <i>Institut des Sources Chrétiennes</i> (current director: Guillaume Bady) and published in <a href="Paris" title="Paris">Paris</a> by <i>Les <a href="%C3%89ditions_du_Cerf" title="Éditions du Cerf">Éditions du Cerf</a></i>. Each text is given on the left in Greek or Latin, with the French translation on the facing page.

</p><p>Over 600 works by <a href="Greek_language" title="Greek language">Greek</a>, <a href="Latin_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Latin language">Latin</a> and occasionally <a href="Syriac_language" title="Syriac language">Syriac</a> authors have been published. Other oriental Christian (e.g. <a href="Armenia" title="Armenia">Armenian</a>) writers have been published only in translation. An early decision was made not to exclude subsequently condemned authors (such as <a href="Origen_of_Alexandria" class="mw-redirect" title="Origen of Alexandria">Origen of Alexandria</a>). <a href="Clement_of_Alexandria" title="Clement of Alexandria">Clement of Alexandria</a>, the <a href="Cappadocians" class="mw-redirect" title="Cappadocians">Cappadocians</a> (<a href="Basil_of_Caesarea" title="Basil of Caesarea">Basil of Caesarea</a> and <a href="Gregory_of_Nazianzus" title="Gregory of Nazianzus">Gregory of Nazianzus</a>) <a href="John_Chrysostom" title="John Chrysostom">John Chrysostom</a>, <a href="Theodoret" title="Theodoret">Theodoret</a> especially are strongly represented. Most Latin writers from Tertullian onwards are found, but a distinctive section is also devoted to later Western spiritual writers such as <a href="Bernard_of_Clairvaux" title="Bernard of Clairvaux">Bernard of Clairvaux</a>. Augustine, given the dominant role of Etudes Augustiniennes, only appears twice (SC 75 & 116), thereby permitting a multiplicity of other patristic voices to be heard.

</p><p>A parallel collection devoted to the works of <a href="Philo_of_Alexandria" class="mw-redirect" title="Philo of Alexandria">Philo of Alexandria</a> has also been developed.

</p><p>The bilingual edition policy launched by <i>Sources Chrétiennes</i><sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

has been followed by the <a href="German_language" title="German language">German language</a> series <a href="Fontes_Christiani" title="Fontes Christiani">Fontes Christiani</a>, published initially by <a href="Herder_publishers" class="mw-redirect" title="Herder publishers">Herder</a> of <a href="Freiburg" class="mw-redirect" title="Freiburg">Freiburg</a>, <a href="Germany" title="Germany">Germany</a> but now by <a href="Brepols" title="Brepols">Brepols</a> of <a href="Turnhout" title="Turnhout">Turnhout</a>, <a href="Belgium" title="Belgium">Belgium</a>.

</p><p>Many of the texts published bilingually by 'Sources Chrétiennes' have appeared recently in <a href="Italian_Language" class="mw-redirect" title="Italian Language">Italian</a> translation.

</p><p>Sources Chrétiennes is also in charge of the <b>BIBLINDEX project</b> <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.biblindex.mom.fr/index.php?lang=en">[1]</a>, Index of Biblical Quotations and Allusions in Early Christian Literature.

</p><p>A complete listing of the entire series' publications is provided online periodically.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
