"This collection of 62 CDs is a truly
astounding accomplishment. There is nothing like this available to the ordinary
Christian on the whole face of the earth. Now, for the first time ever, ordinary
Christians can have direct and near effortless access to the very cream
of Puritan and Reformed, as well as Covenanter, literature... What they used
to say of the Puritan John Flavel's preaching, can be said of these CDs: they
are 'hissing hot'! ... more" (emphases added).

MORE RUTHERFORD & the
COVENANTS, LESS RUSHDOONY & "RECONSTRUCTION"
In explaining what the Christian principles of
civil government should mean today, in America, the NRA must point to models of
the past. I realize that many NRA members don't have a Reformed Presbyterian
background, but I do think that the NRA's model
really has to be the Second Reformation in Scotland, when the Covenants were
truly owned and malignants rejected. I think it is much more helpful
to point to the great leaders of the past, like
Rutherford or MacMillan, who were able to express themselves in
vivid, simple, trenchant language, than to talk about modern
obfuscationists like Rushdoony who dress up the grand old ideas with complex,
faddy, fancy terms. (In this connection, the NRA's republication of Messiah the Prince is very encouraging.)
When explaining what the NRA's ideas mean for the 21st century, let's hear less about Rushdoony and words like
"reconstructionism," and more about Rutherford and the Covenants!
Thanks for your attention.

SYMINGTON, WILLIAM
Messiah the Prince or, the
Mediatorial Dominion of Jesus Christ (1884)
This is the standard work on the
kingdom of God in English! There is nothing else like it; it
is one-of-a kind! It covers the necessity, reality, and qualifications of
Christ's dominion over not only the church, but all nations too. This book
will also help to demonstrate how Christian Reconstructionists limit Christ's
Kingship by denying the establishment principle, which is so clearly taught
throughout Scripture (Isa. 49:23) and was upheld by virtually all the Reformers
and Reformed churches. Anything less is to rob Christ of His
magnificent, majestic, mediatorial glory -- for He is the King of kings and
Lord of lords.
"While books on the priestly work of the Redeemer, and especially on the
Atonement, are numerous," notes the introduction to the American edition,
"no formal and exhaustive discussion of the kingly office of the
Messiah... and its application to various classes of moral agents is elsewhere
to be found... It is cause for satisfaction that the only treatise, as yet,
upon this subject, is a work of signal ability, lucid in arrangement, reverent
in spirit, and with hardly an exception, sound and judicious in its conclusion.
Its very merits are probably, in part, the reason
why no other work on the same subject has appeared, and until it is supplanted
by a better work -- an event not likely soon to occur -- it will have a value
peculiar to itself."
Chapters include "The Necessity of the
Mediatorial Dominion," "The Universality of the Mediatorial
Dominion," "The Mediatorial Dominion Over the Church," and
"Over the Nations," plus much more.
In short, this is a unique book
devoted to the absolute Kingship and dominion of the Lord Jesus Christ -- over
all heaven and earth!
And He will continue His present reign from heaven until every enemy of His is
conquered, "For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his
feet" (1 Cor. 15:25). 360 pages.

Christ's Kingship Over the
Nations Maintained and Defended in the Establishment Principle, or, The
Principle of the National Recognition of Religion
Maintains the universal supremacy
of Christ as King of the nations, as well as King of the saints, with the
consequent duty of nations as such, and civil rulers in their official
capacity, to honor and serve Him by recognizing His truth and promoting His cause. Demonstrates that this
position was "the unanimous testimony of the
Reformers" and proves this truth from both the OT and the NT. Answers common objections, which are often arguments
from abuse, while refuting the opposing error of Voluntaryism showing its
sectarian nature (and most Reconstructionist are Voluntaryists to one degree or
another). A marvelous little book that is much needed in our day! As
the author notes, "Let us keep to the King's
highway trod by the martyrs and Reformers, and in the name of our God display
our banners that Christ is the Prince of the kings of the earth, and that the
nation and the kingdom that will not serve Him and His Cause shall perish, yea,
those nations shall be utterly wasted."

WAGNER, MICHAEL G.
A Presbyterian Political
Manifesto: Presbyterianism and Civil Government (1995)
Using citations from great Presbyterians of the
past such as Rutherfurd, Gillespie and Knox, and the thoughts of modern day
Reformers and Reconstructionists, Wagner demonstrates how the impossibility of
neutrality in civil matters leads inescapably to established religion. He then
builds the Biblical case for establishmentarianism and deals with some of the
hard questions regarding religious liberty and toleration (in such a state). He also shows how the Westminster Confession of Faith should be the doctrinal basis for the state, as well as
the church (as it is a faithful summary of biblical teaching). Contains a great
bibliography. This is the best short introduction dealing with this
subject. Wagner has completed his Doctorate in political science at a major
Canadian University.

Resource 1c. BROWN
(of Haddington), JOHN
The Absurdity and Perfidy of
All Authoritative Toleration of Gross Heresy, Blasphemy, Idolatry, Popery, in
Britain (1797,
1803 edition)
The sub-title
reads: "In two letters to a friend in which the
doctrine of the Westminster Confession of Faith relative to Toleration of a
False Religion, and the power of the civil magistrate about sacred matters; and
the nature, origin, ends and obligation of the National Covenant and Solemn
League are candidly represented and defended."
Here Brown
deals with three major Reformation attainments (anti-tolerationism,
establishmentarianism and the obligations of lawful covenants as they
biblically bind posterity) that Satan has always been especially concerned to
overthrow -- in every major demonic move to open the floodgates of lawlessness,
anarchy and misrule. Fletcher, in the preface to the 1797 edition, relates this
truth as it comes to bear on various religious professors, stating,
Papists were enemies to our covenants because they were a
standard lifted up against their system of abominable idolatries. Episcopalians
were enemies to them, because they were a standard lifted up against their
anti-scriptural church-officers and inventions of men in the worship of God.
Some Presbyterians are enemies to them in our day through ignorance of their
nature and ends; and others through fear of being too strictly bound to their
duty (Cited in Johnston, Treasury of the Scottish Covenant, p. 486).
It is also
interesting to note the long list of backsliders and heretics that often oppose
one or more of these points.
The
ancient Donatists, a sect of Arian separatists, who appeared about the
beginning of the 4th Century, seem to have been among the first who held out
these opinions to the Christian world. Feeling the weight of the arm of power
for their schismatical practices, by way of reprisal, they stript the
magistrate of all power in religion;--maintaining that he had no more power
about religious matters than any private person, and refusing him the right of
suppressing the propagators of doctrines different from those professed by the
Church, or the observers of a different form of worship. From them the German Anabaptists adopted the same views.
Then the Socinians (i.e. an early form
of Scripture-denying liberals--RB) and
remonstrant Arminians, whenever the
magistrate ceased to patronize their cause. The English
Independents during the time of the Long Parliament were the zealous
supporters of the same opinions. In their rage for liberty of conscience, they formed the strongest opposition in the Westminster
Assembly which the Presbyterians had to encounter. Through their
influence that venerable body was much embarrassed (hindered-- RB) in their
proceeding; and by their means (in collusion with that "Judas of the Covenant," Cromwell--RB),
certain passages of the Confession of Faith never obtained the ratification of
the English Parliament. The English Dissenters of the present age are generally
in the same views, especially the Socinians, the
Arians, and the Quakers, who have most to dread from the Laws of the
Land against their blasphemies. And who knows not that the high reputation of Mr. Locke as a Philosopher... has given
these opinions such an air of respectability, that many youth in the
Universities have been thereby inclined to embrace them? (Preface, pp. vi-vii).
In our day the
tree of toleration (and the anti-Scriptural principles which logically grow out
of it) has spread its branches in ways that could have never been envisioned by
those that took the first steps away from biblical and covenanted uniformity. What Brown is fighting against here is an error so
foundational that when left unchecked it permeates all of society, cutting out
the foundational roots that are necessary for all national Reformations
-- and "if the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
(Ps. 11:3).
Furthermore,
as the preface notes "liberty of conscience and of opinion" are
"the great idols of the day." Here Brown takes out his covenantal
hammer and smashes these idols with an inconoclastic zeal worthy of our earlier
Reformed forefathers.
This book is
especially useful in answering the persistent fear and questions that always
arise when these old Reformed views are discussed: that is, the questions
dealing with religious persecution. Brown spends much time in clearing the Westminster Divines of such
false charges, while also setting these controversial Reformed teachings on a
thoroughly biblical foundation.
Interestingly,
in the section defending the continuing obligation of the National and Solemn
League and Covenant, we also note that the
Westminster Assembly considered the Solemn League and Covenant an
"everlasting covenant."
Brown cites the following as proof,
That the body of the English nation also swore the Solemn
League and Covenant, is manifest. The Westminster Assembly and English
Parliament, affirm, 'The honourable house of Parliament, the Assembly of
Divines, the renowned city of London, and multitudes of other persons of all
ranks and quality in this nation, and the whole body of Scotland, have all
sworn it, rejoicing at the oath so graciously seconded from heaven. God will,
doubtless, stand by all those, who with singleness of heart shall now enter
into an everlasting covenant with the Lord' (p. 161, emphasis added).
The footnote
tells us that the section Brown was quoting was taken from "Exhortation to
take the Covenant, February, 1644."
If
you have the moral courage to compare the original Reformed faith with that
which is often promoted under its name today (and in many ways the old Reformed
faith bears little resemblance to the "new light" Reformers,
Reconstructionists and other innovators of our day), then this is an ideal book
to obtain and study.

OLIVER CROMWELL:
PROTOTYPE FOR RECONSTRUCTION
or "JUDAS of the
COVENANT"?
Resource 2. BARROW,
REG
John Knox, Oliver Cromwell,
God's Law and the Reformation of Civil Government
Many consider
Knox one of the greatest Reformers ever and God used him to win the nation of
Scotland to Christ. Knox laid the foundations for
the Covenanters that followed, and they in turn gave us the clearest foretaste
of the millennium glory to come in the magnificent Solemn League and Covenant.
Speaking of
these Reformation attainments McFeeters notes
The
fathers are worthy of all praise for this unprecedented effort to build the
national government upon the true foundation of God's will, and administer it
by men in Covenant with Jesus Christ, the King of kings. This was the first
attempt to erect a Christian government, in which the fear of God should
pervade every department and characterize every official" (Sketches of
the Covenanters,
p. 155-156).
This book deals
with some of Knox's most controversial political writings, demonstrating that
he was what Barrow calls a "historic" theonomist (like Rutherford and
Gillespie after him). It also offers some fine tuning for "modern"
theonomists, which aims at leading them into the "footsteps of the
flock" and closer to the classic or historic Presbyterian/Covenanter view
of law (and away from some of the anabaptist/libertarian tendencies that
sometimes arise among modern theonomists).
Numerous
resources, recently published, dealing with civil disobedience and opposition
to tyranny are also listed. The first appendix in this book contains Barrow's
letter to Christian Renewal expressing his strong disagreement with an
unfavorable and inaccurate review of Michael Wagner's Presbyterian Political
Manifesto.
In it he shows how the Reformers and their
confessions of faith supported the civil establishment of the one true
Christian religion, while at the same time publicly excluding Papist's, pagans
and other heretics from places of civil rule (in countries blessed with the
light of the gospel).
The second
appendix contains a series of letters dedicated to proving why Barrow calls Cromwell the "Judas of the Covenant." It demonstrates
Cromwell's reckless abandon in violating his sacred vows to the Lord in the
Solemn League and Covenant, while also showing why Cromwell's wicked,
antichristian views concerning toleration and liberty of conscience led people
away from Scriptural standards and helped open the floodgates to modern
atheistic pluralism. In short, Cromwell was the prototype of our
contemporary pragmatic politician, adept at equivocation and setting his own
glory and government above all other concerns, including the glory and
government of God.
In this vein Barrow contends that Cromwell, unaffectionately dubbed the
"late usurper" by the covenanted Presbyterians of the mid
seventeenth-century, was used of the devil to accomplish things in the civil
and ecclesiastical realm that he (i.e. satan) could never have accomplished
with the more obviously antichristian religions of that day (which were not
pluralistic theologically, such Romanism, Episcopalianism, etc.). For Cromwell laid his axe of ungodly toleration and pretended
liberty of conscience to the root of the tree of covenanted Reformation in a
much more subtle manner than the previous "midwives to antichrist,"
and thus his sectarianism better served the devious designs of the devil during
those days. This section also exposes
Cromwell as a Erastian tyrant, a liar, and a dictator, who (with the help of
his sectarian army) executed the covenanted Presbyterian minister Christopher
Love (Cromwell's soldiers even threatened to shoot Thomas Manton for preaching
at Love's funeral), sent many other Presbyterian ministers to jail (including
Thomas Watson), disbanded the Scottish general assembly (at gunpoint), and
eventually began negotiations with Papists (with the intent of granting them a
measure of "liberty" to more freely practice their superstitions and
soul murder). This is not the view of Cromwell that you will hear
from modern historians and theologians who have abandoned the context of
covenanted Reformation (how could it be?), for as Rushdoony has correctly
pointed out, "Men cannot give a meaning to
history that they themselves lack, nor can they honor a past which indicts them
for their present failures" (A Biblical Philosophy of
History,
p. 135).
