We've Upgraded What Was Already A Spectacular Offer Once Again,
After Hearing From Our Customers That The Great Majority Of Them Desired Our
Large Collection Of Puritan, Reformation, Covenanter, Protestant, Reformed,
Baptist and Presbyterian Resources On An External USB Hard Drive Rather Than DVDs.
This Upgrade To A Much Better Format (External USB Hard Drive) And From 10,000+
Puritan and Reformation Resources To 12,000+ Puritan and Reformation Resources Is All Being
Accomplished At No
Extra Cost To You (While Our Prepublication Sale Remains In Effect -- For Just
A Short Time Longer)!
However, Once We Begin Shipping The Prepublication Special
With End (With Or Without Notice) And The Cost For This Extensive Collection Of
Reformation Resources On Hard Drive Will Be Raised By $200.00 Or More -- So
Don't Delay, Order Your Puritan And Reformation Hard Drive Today!

Providing you with the easiest and fastest ways to search through
all 12,000+ files.

and for future upgrades and additions we, Lord willing, will be making
available.
·
Providing you with many advantages of easy and extreme portability
(for such a large collection), due to the small size and low weight of the hard

Communist, Muslim and other countries.

with the hard drive in the future, in conjunction with a new SWRB Web site, new
product formats, new books, new MP3s, new videos, new programs, etc (D.V.).
All 12,000+ Puritan and
Reformation Resource on hard drive are now just $US695.50 (Plus P&H) before

A comment on SWRB's
previous two, much smaller, CD sets (of 62 total CDs) follows ...
"I have been
systematically working through reading the Puritan and Reformed CDs I
purchased... I must say, there is nothing like them available anywhere. It is
the most amazing collection of works I know of in one package to date... You
have done an immeasurable service for the Kingdom of Christ in making these CDs
available, and every pastor and theologian should own them without question
(they would be foolhardy to pass them by)."
- Dr. C. Matthew McMahon, A Puritan's Mind Ministries)

Collection.
A comment on SWRB's
previous two, much smaller, CD sets (of 62 total CDs) follows ...
"This collection
of... 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'!
- Dr Jonathan D. Moore, Cambridge, Scholar of 16th
and 17th century Calvinistic literature.

ASAP, as we reserve the right to discontinue any special Hard Drive prices with
or without notice. However, for anyone who has locked in all the special discounts, including the extra prepublication
discounts, these lower prices will most certainly be honored and you
will be first in line when all the new Hard Drives begin shipping.
"Your CD's of
Reformation and Puritan authors are a great boon to studies in the
Reformed-Puritan experiential tradition. Receive our hearty thanks for your
invaluable work in making so many rare gems accessible to thousands."
- Dr. Joel Beeke (President of Puritan
Reformed Theological Seminary, Author, And Preacher)
N.B.
Everyone who has already taken advantage of our prepublication special will be
receiving the 6,500+ additional books, MP3s and videos, on the new Puritan and Reformation Hard Drives (with
over 12,000 total resources that would have taken about 128 CDs to house),
or about the equivalent of 38 additional CDs of resources over the 90 CDs
originally advertised, at
no extra charge!
The same
will apply to everyone who purchases our new Puritan and Reformation Hard Drive Collection
using the present prepublication special price of just $695.50, plus P&H,
before we terminate the prepublication sale with the additional discounts --
which will happen just before we begin shipping the our new Puritan and Reformation Hard
Drives, at which time the price for the complete Puritan and Reformation Hard Drive Collection will be
raised by $US200 to $US400+ (for the complete collection).
The
compact size of this classic, contemporary and comprehensive Puritan and
Reformed library on hard drive should also greatly assist our many brothers
and sisters who are smuggling our disks into Islamic, Communist and other
countries hostile to the Gospel -- as we most certainly do not
want to forget all the courageous missionaries and Christian smugglers who
often risk their lives to take the Gospel into the most dangerous (for
Christians) nations on the Earth.
Remember them that are in bonds,
as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also
in the body (Hebrews 13:3).
We will be
releasing more information on the new Puritan and Reformation Hard Drive Collection as it becomes
available, but for now, here (directly below on this page) you may view a small
portion (about 16%) of what will be included on the new hard drive, in the old
30 CD layout below.
We will have
more exact details related to the total number (and size) of all the 12,000+
Reformation resources in the near future, along with the full listing of the
titles and authors for every book, MP3 and video on new Puritan and Reformation Hard Drive Collection.

"Buy these CDs while
you can, and find out for yourself what the First and Second Reformations were
really all about! You'll be truly amazed, and, by God's grace, will grow from
being an ordinary Christian to being an extraordinary one.
- Dr. Jonathan D. Moore,
Cambridge, UK. (Scholar of 16th and 17th century Calvinistic literature.)
For those
of you who have already taken advantage of the additional discounts available
through our prepublication sale we want to thank you once again for your
purchase and your patience with us. We hope that you are pleased
that you will now be receiving well over twice the number of resources you were
expecting in the original prepublication special, at no additional cost!
And for
those of you who are sitting on the fence and wondering about when to purchase
our new Puritan and
Reformation Hard Drive Collection, please keep in mind that you can
still get the whole collection at the same prepublication price of just
$US695.50, plus P&H, until the new hard drives arrive at SWRB for shipping
-- at which time the
prepublication discounts will end and the price for the complete Puritan and Reformation Hard Drive Collection, will increase by about $US200
to $US400 (when we decide on final pricing).
You may want
to further consider the great value of our prepublication Puritan and Reformation Hard
Drive Collection, offer by comparing what the same amount of money
will buy elsewhere, because for the total price of our complete collection
(with all the prepublication discounts) you can either get the best of 12,000+
classic and contemporary Puritan and Reformed resources or else buy one or two
large sets of Christian books.
What
would you rather have?
One or two large sets of printed
Christian books or 12,000+ of the best Puritan and Reformed Christian resources
ever assembled in one digital collection, with instant "one click"
access to any file (after plugging the hard drive into a USB post) and the
ability to rapidly search the complete collection for any title or author among
the 12,000+ resources -- whether they be books (in PDF format), MP3s or videos?
Lord willing, we will also be adding book summaries and tables of contents to
the searchable features for some or all of the books.
Which do you think would help you
grow closer to the Lord, through your studies?
Which would help you answer (with
certainty) those nagging questions about some of the toughest to understand
sections of Scripture?
Which would bring you and your
family more edification and strengthen your walk with the Lord?
Which would assist you more in daily
family worship and private "devotions"?
Which would assist you more in
public worship?
Which would assist you more in the
godly education of your children?
Which would help more with sermon preparation,
counseling, teaching etc., if you are a Pastor, Elder or involved in other
forms of Christian education, evangelism or ministry?
Which would astound your professors,
if you are a seminary or university student, for term paper preparation and other
aspects of your studies for the ministry (and this has already happened
numerous times through our smaller, previous CD sets)?
Which
would, in virtually every study situation, cause you to grow more in the grace
and knowledge of the Lord?
"SWRB's Puritan and
Reformation CD libraries are an invaluable source for the study of the history
and theology of classic Reformation theology. The collection is remarkable not
only for depth of content, but also for the rarity of many of the works. Most
seminary libraries will not have even a percentage of the works available on
these CD-ROMs. I cannot imagine anyone working in Reformation / historical
theology that would not want to use the Puritan and Reformed libraries!"
- Phillip J. Long,
Associate Professor of New Testament, Grace Bible College
We love
the Lord just like you do and by God's grace have had the privilege of
purposely designing this new Puritan and Reformation Hard Drive Collection (over a
period of more than 24 years of research and development) to be the ultimate study tool for
the modern-day Reformation warrior -- and for just the "regular
old" Christian Father, Mother, Student, Preacher, Teacher, Elder, and/or
every other Christian there could be (after all, there are more than 12,000 of
the best Christian resources we could find, after almost a quarter century of
searching, on the new Puritan and Reformed Hard Drive Collection, so you should
have access to multiple classic and contemporary Reformation resources to
answer every question of the Christian life you encounter).
Satan hates
the truths on SWRB's new Puritan and Reformation Hard Drive Collection and for
too long many of them have been hidden from the eyes of serious Christians --
but now, by God's mercy and grace, you can touch the hottest fires of
Reformation zeal (kindled by the unbounded love, power and grace of the Holy
Spirit) that have ever burned in the hearts of the Lord's most zealous servants
and martyrs, in the 12,000+ books, MP3s and videos which we have assembled for
your edification -- on the most extensive collection of digital Puritan and
Reformed resources ever made available in this format!
And be not conformed to this
world: but be ye transformed by
the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Romans 12:2).
We would
also ask everyone who reads this message to please continue in prayer for SWRB
(and in godly patience, if you are already waiting for your new Puritan and Reformation Hard
Drive Collection), as we do our best to incorporate all the new
resources into the hard drive collection -- as the Lord has so graciously
ordained an amazing increase of books, MP3s and videos to be added to your new
disks. We will be doing everything we can to get this unprecedented
Christian collection into your hands as soon as possible and, again, we greatly
appreciate all the prayer support and patience that you can give.
Having
watched the Lord expand this hard drive collection by epoch-making proportions,
making it possible to include so many of the very best (and often very rare and
otherwise expensive) works defending the classic doctrines and practices of the
best Reformers and the best Reformed churches and nations, we believe that He
intends to use all these classic and contemporary Puritan and Reformed books,
MP3s and videos, as He did all the great Christian literature that He poured
forth in the First and Second Reformations, to send the Third Reformation (which is in its infancy in
our day) into overdrive!
Martin
Luther once said, "Satan hates the use of pens" and described
printing as "God’s highest and extremist act of grace, whereby the
business of the Gospel is driven forward." By God's
marvelous grace, in our day, we have numerous advantages over the information
distribution systems that were providentially in place just prior to and during
the first Reformation. This is no accident, as there are no accidents with God!
And all the inhabitants of the
earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the
inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto
him, What doest thou? (Daniel 4:35).
We live in
momentous times, which our Lord has marked out for great change and even
greater Reformation -- and because we are living at an turning point in history
we should all seek to be like "children of Issachar" who were
"men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to
do" (1 Chronicles 12:32). In Scripture, the Lord has made the path to real
and lasting Reformation as obvious as the noonday sun.
If my people, which are called by
my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from
their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Therefore,
please pray in agreement with us that our Lord will do a work in our day
(through these resources on hard drive and all the other faithful Reformation
resources and preaching available through other ministries, publishers, and
Christian books distributors) which will turn (in repentance) multitudes, even
whole nations, away from sin and into covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ --
that "many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings" may "go
thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock" (Song of Solomon 1:8) walking
in "the old paths" (Jeremiah 6:16) of Scriptural (Puritan, Reformed
and especially Covenanter) salvation and sanctification as individuals and as
nations.
And it shall come to pass in the
last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the
top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto
it (Isaiah 2:2).
Thanks again
for all your prayers and support of SWRB over the years and remember, "the
LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that
it cannot hear" (Isaiah 59:1) so please pour out your hearts in prayer to
the Most High, that he will do a work in our day which will make all previous
Reformations look small in comparison -- for His great name's sake!
Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket,
and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the
isles as a very little thing (Isaiah 40:15).
Among the gods there is none like
unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. All nations whom thou hast
made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify
thy name. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone
(Psalm 86:8-10).
They shall not hurt nor destroy
in all my holy mountain: for
the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the
sea (Isaiah 11:9).

in Christ (for the Third Reformation),

"Still "I have
now had several months to peruse the contents of the (SWRB) CD sets, and the
experience has been a feast for the soul. They have been invaluable to me in
sermon preparation and in improving personal and familial piety."
- Dr. Steven Dilday
"Thank you so very
much for the CDs. I am amazed at the quality and quantity of the literature...
I cannot imagine any other single thing being done by any man or group of men
in the earth today that is of such extensive, present, and enduring value as
this CD work is."
- Dr. B, Colorado, USA
"You all are doing a
wonderful service by making all these materials so readily available. Having
them on my hard drive is BETTER than having access to a rare book library with
all of them in hand... I have found the CD set invaluable as a tool of
scholarship. So once again I commend you brothers for making it
available."
- Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, Knox
Theological Seminary, Author and Associate Professor of Historical Theology and
Social Ethics
"In all seriousness,
this collection is almost impossible to describe. It has to be seen to be
believed. As a pastor, my library has just increased dramatically. As a Ph.D.
student in Puritan and Post-Reformation studies, I have immediate access to
many of the same works for which I would normally need to access through rare
book rooms of theological libraries."
- Yours for the faith,
Pastor David Owen Filson, Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church (PCA),
Nashville, TN
"These Puritan
resources are the greatest I've ever seen. These eyes have never seen anything
greater than what you have produced except that old King James Bible. I am sure
that it will help me and others grow in the Lord and I can use it in my Home
School for my children. "
- Email from a Customer in
Georgia, USA
"The SWRB CDs ...
have been an incredible source of spiritual delight and theological pleasure.
They were also an incomparable help in researching and writing my countless
M.Div. papers. My professors were always amazed at the rare book quotations and
relative obscurity of my sources. I still feel that I have barely scratched the
surface of what these books have to offer."
- Pastor Andrew Underhile, Missionary
in the Philippines
"(The) great
attainments (of the Second Reformation/Westminster Assembly) are
rejected largely because of ignorance. The best books on these subjects have
not been readily available; but (thanks be to God) they are available again on
these CD sets. For anyone interested in recovering our Presbyterian past, these
CD sets are a must.
- Dr. Steven Dilday
"Still Waters has
done our community a great service by making the English Puritan classics
available on CD. I treasure the copies on my desk and I use what I have
continually."
- Dr. Edwin P. Elliott,
Jr., Managing Editor of the Christian Observer, Director of the

"I cannot express
the depth of my gratitude to you and your staff for the massive work you have
done on the Reformation... Bookshelf CD series. Your compilation -- in addition
to tripling the total size of my personal library -- has already encouraged me
greatly in the development of the habit of family worship in my home. Your
contribution to Christ's Church is of inestimable value, and I am sharing your
materials with every serious Christian I can find. My Pastor was ecstatic to
receive his copy."
- Neil Barham (USA)
"I appreciate the
work that you are doing at SWRB. The availability of old ministry on the CDs
is truly remarkable and at such good prices. I have
been blessed in my own reading and also sermon preparation help... Keep up the
good work, it is truly appreciated and I am sure people like myself are being
helped and you will never know the blessing your ministry is until you get home
to glory."
-Your Brother in Christ,
AMT, (Email for a Baptist Brother in Ontario, Canada)
"I just received the
CD's in the mail to day. I am overwhelmed! It was Dr. Richard A. Muller at
Calvin Theological Seminary who first pointed out your website for access to
documents that would otherwise be unavailable or unattainable. I am looking
forward to reading the material by Beza and Twisse!"

FRIENDS COMMITTED TO CARING
(MATE/FCC)
MATE/FCC delivers theological literature to poor and persecuted
Christians (Bible
Schools and Seminaries)
in various nations of the world. Over the past 20 years, MATE/FCC has served
140 institutions in 42 countries (see http://www.matefcc.org/index_files/page0003.htm).
If you are in Canada or the United States and would like to donate funds to
MATE/FCC, they can provide you with a tax-deductible receipt. Still Waters Revival Books (SWRB) has worked out special
missionary discounts (and other special permissions), related to our CDs, which
should greatly assist the poor and persecuted Christians to whom MATE/FCC
ministers (see the contents of SWRB's CDs at http://www.swrb.com/Puritan/reformation-bookshelf-CDs.htm
and http://www.swrb.com/Puritan/calvinism-bookshelf-CDs.htm
and http://www.swrb.com/Puritan/protestant-bookshelf-CDs.htm).
Therefore, if you so
desire, please mention that you would like your tax-deductible donations to
MATE/FCC to go toward the purchase of CDs from SWRB, as this is one the best
ways to deliver sound Christian resources to needy and downtrodden brothers and
sisters in Christ, through MATE/FCC, in various nations (including Islamic,
Communist and other countries hostile to the Gospel). For more

Below is one (of three) old CD
layouts, which contain about 16% of the items that will be available on SWRB's
new Puritan and Reformation Hard Drive Collection in a revised layout
(therefore, please disregard price references to individual CDs below, as they
will not be published in this format).
REFORMATION BOOKSHELF (30 CDs)
If
you enjoy the writings of the Puritans, the best Reformers, and various other
Christian scholars throughout history, then this CD series is for you! This 30 CD set contains
a large number of classic (and rare) books and sermons by many of the best
authors of both the first and second Reformations -- with a strong emphasis
on the most prominent and faithful Reformers.
Some books in
the Reformation Bookshelf CD series are being made available here for the first
time in many years (even centuries) -- and of the others, most of these classic
Reformation works are presently available in SWRB's cerlox and hardcover bound
photocopy format -- though at many times the cost of their price on these CDs!
Each CD in this
series uses the common Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF). This
format is readable by all types of computers with a CD drive using the free Acrobat Reader program available at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html (and for more about PDF
see http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/adobepdf.html). These CDs are best
viewed with Adobe Acrobat Reader 4 or higher. The
smallest CD contains over 10,000 pages and the largest CD contains over 20,500
pages of information (as well as a number of free audio MP3s on each CD)!
Each
REFORMATION CD is bookmarked so that you can easily click on a link to go
directly to individual books. Furthermore, and this is even more
important to those serious about locating important theological information,
individual chapters of each book are also indexed for direct (one click)
access.
This is
exceedingly useful for all the books included on each CD -- but is particularly
helpful when using the commentaries (since you are able to easily access
whichever individual verse [or verses] the author is commenting on in each
commentary). However, individual words are not searchable in the older books
included (since these are facsimile PDF "pictures" of the rare books,
similar in appearance to SWRB's photocopies), but individual words are searchable for all
of the (101+) contemporary bonus books that are included with each CD. However, as an added
bonus, if you have Abode Acrobat Pro you can now use the OCR (optical character
recognition) feature to easily make even the image-based PDFs searchable.
Furthermore, once this is done you can cut and paste from these PDFs also,
though accuracy varies depending on the font and the appearance of the source
document.
In addition to
all the Reformation classics, on each of the 30 CDs in the REFORMATION
BOOKSHELF CD series, you also get 101+ fully
searchable free bonus books and articles by contemporary and classic
Covenanter/Calvinistic/Puritan/Reformed authors on each CD. And SWRB
would like to extend special thanks to Ed Walsh [CRTA], for a number of the new
free PDF books and articles that appear on this CD set, as he invested
considerable time and effort to produce these PDFs especially for these CDs
(and your edification).
See the summary
for RBCD volume one (below) to determine which free bonus books are included on
each particular CD.
Furthermore, free audio (MP3) sermons and audio books (by Calvin, Knox,
Owen, et al.), which were previously read on to tape, will also be included on
each CD. See each individual CD summary to determine which free
audio (MP3) tracks are included on any given CD.
This
is a great opportunity to own a vast library of some of the most important
works of both Reformations (and related contemporary titles), at a small
fraction of the cost of the actual books (i.e. about .02 US funds per resource
on these CDs)!
Moreover, each
CD in the REFORMATION BOOKSHELF CD series will give you "one click" access to all titles and chapters in each work
-- something not available at all with printed books. And remember that a
number of these valuable and scarce works are almost impossible to find in our
day outside of their availability from SWRB (and if found, can be very
expensive on the rare book market) or are buried away in libraries or rare book
collections on various continents and are thus inaccessible to most people.
These
CDs now make these exceptional and extraordinary Puritan and Reformed works
both accessible and affordable to everyone!
Full summaries
of all REFORMATION BOOKSHELF CDs
can be found at: http://www.swrb.com/Puritan/reformation-bookshelf-CDs.htm (or directly below if
you are reading this on the web, rather than in an email or on a printed page).
A free sample PDF file from this set can also be download
directly at:
http://www.reformedpresbytery.org/books/covrefdf/covrefdf.pdf
Take
this PDF file for a test drive on your computer! By the way, you will
need to purchase the CD itself before the final bookmark titled "CD
INDEX" will actually take you to the extensive index on each REFORMATION
CD, though all the other bookmarks in this sample PDF file will be active.
Also, you will need the free Acrobat Reader program on your
computer to read this file. This free program is available at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html (and for more about PDF
see http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/adobepdf.html).
Also, please
note, as with all the material we sell we do not necessarily agree with
everything every author writes. Nevertheless, we believe that mature
truth-seekers can, when led (and protected) by the Holy Spirit, benefit from a
wide variety of authors, even when some of the points promoted in a particular
title are not in keeping with the truth (or when information is sought for the
purpose of knowing the arguments and tactics of the enemies of truth). Thus,
as always, we encourage everyone to compare all human writings with our one and
only supreme standard of truth: the Holy Scriptures (Acts 17:11)!

professors, pastors, students, missionaries, et al.) are
saying about these amazing CDs at the end of this page.

invaluable work in making so many rare gems accessible to thousands."

I purchased the
Reformation/Puritan Bookshelve CDs about 3 years ago and they remain my
absolute prized possession for reference and education. I frequently check
SWRB for new titles, recordings, etc., and profit greatly from what is
available.
Thank you once
again.

"I have
been systematically working through reading the Puritan and Reformed CDs I
purchased.
I
must say, there is nothing like them available anywhere.
It
is the most amazing collection of works I know of in one package to date.
In my opinion,
it far surpasses Ages Software and their collections.*
The Puritan and
Reformed material presented on these CDs is exceptional.
I am
continually amazed at the depth and breadth of information in both collections,
and the rarity of works that I now have at my fingertips.
You have
done an immeasurable service for the Kingdom of Christ in making these CDs
available, and every pastor and theologian should own them without question
(they would be foolhardy to pass them by)."

* It is SWRB's opinion that Ages
has done an excellent job in making various Reformed works available on CD, so
much so that we also distribute a number of their CDs at discounts. Thus,
please don't make more out of our publishing this comment than is warranted, as
this is a comment we received from one of our customers and it expresses his
opinion. As for Ages' work, we rejoice whenever the truth is published, whether
through others or through SWRB (as we play only a very small part in the
revival of classic Reformation, Puritan and Covenanter thought that is now
taking place worldwide through God's marvelous grace). The publication of the
best Reformers and Puritans of the past is one of the greatest needs of our
time, as this extends the blessings that come through faithful preachers and
authors into our day and into the future. Lord willing, the growth in the
publishing of faithful works from the past will help stem the tide of the great
declension and unfaithfulness which we are now witnessing all around us, even
(sadly) among many churches that still call themselves "Presbyterian"
and/or "Reformed." So please pray together with us that our Lord will
multiple the number of faithful publishers and publications, and that He will
give many the heart to stand for the truth no matter the consequences (as He
has done for our faithful forefathers, who resisted Satan and sin unto blood
and even to martyrdom in many cases). -- RB.
"The

have ever made.
They are much more than I expected!! I am having a wonderful time reading and
studying."

"This
side of eternity I'll never be able to repay the favor you have done mankind by
bringing these... CDs together.
The first
week of reading I grew more as a Christian reading those rich, pure Gospel
Commentators than I have in 18 years of Christian life. After reading some of
the Puritan CDs I have to get the Reformation set if it kills me. A fire is
burning within me. These... CDs are liable to start a revival fire unseen in
any generation... the Gospel in its pure form is seen in these... CDs.
Sir, I cant say
enough. What a treasure! I'll never be able to repay you this side of heaven,
but when we get there I am sure you will see the rich fruits of your labor. God
bless you for not being money hungry but wanting to see Christians grow in the
Lord... I love you even though we have never met, you have helped me in my
Christian walk tremendously with these... CDs.
I am not
bragging on the flesh, I am just giving honor where honor is due. The Holy
Ghost will take these CDs and light a fire unseen and unheard of. God bless you
all at Still Waters."

"I have
just received the 30 CD set of Reformation Bookshelf today... Thank you very
much for them!
I am
overwhelmed with their sheer volume!
What can I say
when suddenly confronted with them?
I was humbled
as I began to put the CDs on my computer, what little I knew, what little I had
read of these copious writings of our great Reformation heritage!
Suddenly I
began to wish I could become a young, strong, ardent teenager again,
with the opportunity, time, and mental capacity to read, meditate, and learn
again the rich and abundant truth packed in these CDs.
The weight of
this material bore down upon me.
What
could I do now at 67 years age, but just nibble at the edges of such a
mass of material?
How I wish
you could have sent me this set of CDs some 40 years ago, when
my appetite and capacity was such
to give them due attention!
Yet how
much I would have needed that special enabling of the Holy Spirit, to
spiritually absorb it all, and produce that spiritual fruit to the glory
of God."
- Jim in the UK
"I am so
Illuminated by what you have sent that I just feel like I must have the other
30 (Reformation) CD set. You gave me the 32 (Puritan) CDs at a discount that is
just not heard of thanks for you kindness. These Puritan resources are the
greatest I've ever seen. These eyes have never seen anything greater than what
you have produced except that old King James Bible. I am sure that it will
help me and others grow in the Lord and I can use it in my Home School for my
children. Thank you for your kindness through the years."

"SWRB's
Puritan and Reformation CD libraries are an invaluable source for the study of
the history and theology of classic Reformation theology. The collection is
remarkable not only for depth of content, but also for the rarity of many of
the works. Most seminary libraries will not have even a percentage of the works
available on these CD-ROMs. I cannot imagine anyone working in Reformation /
historical theology that would not want to use the Puritan and Reformed
libraries!"

so very much for the CDs.
I
am amazed at the quality and quantity of the literature...
I cannot
imagine any other single thing being done by any man or group of men in the
earth today that is of such extensive, present, and enduring value as this
CD work is.
God be praised
that he uses sickly and weak men to forward his kingdom, that the work may not
be mistaken to be wrought by the might of men, but by his Spirit. His strength
is perfected in weakness."

"You all
are doing a wonderful service by making all these materials so readily
available. Having them on my hard drive is BETTER than having access to a
rare book library with all of them in hand... I have found the CD set
invaluable as a tool of scholarship. So once again I commend you brothers for making
it available."
- E. Calvin
Beisner
Knox

(Author of: Psalms of Promise:
Celebrating the Majesty and Faithfulness of God, God in Three Persons, Answers:
For Atheists, Agnostics, and Other Thoughtful Skeptics--Dialogs About Christian
Faith and Life, Man, Economy, and Environment in Biblical Perspective, Where
Garden Meets Wilderness: Evangelical Entry Into the Environmental Debate,
Evangelical Heathenism? Examining Contemporary Revivalism, as well as other
books, scholarly papers, and contributions to various anthologies).
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.
These books are
often in fascinating first editions and many are electronically linked and
indexed for the first time. The ordinary Christian may here dig into a
simply staggering wealth of literature, from devotional and sermonic material
to technical and scholarly works. Even in the days of the Long Reformation itself
ordinary Christians didn't get to see this kind of library -- most couldn't
read for a start, and even those who could, would never have been able to
afford to buy even a hundredth part of the material on these CDs. Truly we are
without excuse!
And the
significance of this collection goes even beyond that. No longer do we have to
wait for modern Reformed publishing houses to predict that a particular
Reformation or Puritan book will be sufficiently popular to make it economical
to reprint, or to deem it "safe" enough to be let loose on the modern
evangelical church. Rather, we are now able to see for ourselves the whole
range of the Puritan and Reformed publishing enterprise, including views that
are usually suppressed by most modern devotees of "Puritan" piety!
Buy these CDs
while you can, and find out for yourself what the First and Second Reformations
were really all about! You'll be truly amazed, and, by God's grace, will grow
from being an ordinary Christian to being an extraordinary one. What they
used to say of the Puritan John Flavel's preaching, can be said of these CDs:
they are "hissing hot"!

"It's been
several weeks now since I received the CDs and have had some time to digest
some of them. All I can say is, "WOW!" This is truly a library
like no other, and has already paid great dividends not only in my own personal
worship and study, but in my teaching as well. I first balked at the
price, but after seeing the vastness of the material, I almost feel as though
I'm robbing you!
I pray that the
Lord will allow you to get these materials into the hands of as many ministers
as possible."
- Email from
SC, USA
"I just
received your CD collection. One bit of advice: you should instruct your
customers to take about 1 week off just to peruse the tables of contents for
these CD's, followed by another week off, in order to recover from the
state of shock in which they will find themselves.
In all
seriousness, this collection is almost impossible to describe. It has to be
seen to be believed. As a pastor, my library has just increased
dramatically.
As a Ph.D. student in Puritan and Post-Reformation studies, I have immediate
access to many of the same works for which I would normally need to access
through rare book rooms of theological libraries.
Thank you for
this labor of love. Thank you for making it accessible, both financially and
technologically. May the Lord richly bless you for this service to his
people."

"I see
what an awesome job you guys have done in putting together those CDs. They are just great. I
read Toplady and found the quote you mentioned about the Jesuits planting the
poison of free will.That was eye opening! I read part of Christopher Ness (An
Antidote Against Arminianism-RB) and then began John Owen's Display of
Arminianism. Once again I do so thank you."

OK, USA (the specific resources mentioned above are on Reformation Bookshelf CD
19, "Against Arminian Views of Salvation [Calvinistic Soteriology],
Against Arminian Views of Worship [Calvinistic Worship and the Regulative
Principle of Worship], etc.").
"I have
now had several months to peruse the contents of the (SWRB) CD sets, and the
experience has been a feast for the soul. They have been invaluable to me in
sermon preparation and in improving personal and familial piety. If these had been the
only blessings attached to the reading of these documents, the expense (even if
it had been much greater) would have been justified; but there is more here . .
.
In this present
time, a great many Presbyterians (particularly in North America) have forgotten
and implicitly (perhaps unwittingly) rejected their Presbyterian heritage.
Strangely, Westminster confessing churches have rejected the theological
distinctives of the Westminster Standards. Although the Westminster Assembly
produced a beautiful statement of soteriological Calvinism, the histories
clearly demonstrate that soteriology was not the principle focus, nor chief
interest, of the Assembly. The Assembly was primarily concerned with uniformity
in worship (in accordance with the Regulative Principle), the form of church
government (Presbyterianism jus divinum), and Church-State relations (the
Establishment Principle). It is a sad irony that the great and distinctive
attainments of the Westminster Assembly have been ignored and rejected by so
many Westminster confessing churches.
However, there
is reason to believe that these great attainments are rejected largely
because of ignorance. The best books on these subjects have not been readily
available; but (thanks be to God) they are available again on these CD sets. For anyone interested
in recovering our Presbyterian past, these CD sets are a must. It is my hope
and prayer that these CD sets will be used by God to bring to light the things
that were hidden, to call to remembrance the things that were forgotten."

"I haven't
written in quite a while. I have been rather busy. My wife and I just had our
second baby and I just finished up a M.Div. at a small Reformed seminary here
in the Philippines. I want you all to know that I have not forgotten the
generosity you showed me when you sent me so many (20) of the Puritan and Reformation
book CD's. They have been an incredible source of spiritual delight and
theological pleasure. They were also an incomparable help in researching and
writing my countless M.Div. papers. My professors were always amazed at the
rare book quotations and relative obscurity of my sources. I still feel that I
have barely scratched the surface of what these books have to offer. There are
several books that I have only had time to browse. I did my thesis on TULIP in
the writings of the Church Fathers. The Puritan CD's were such a help in
locating appropriate patristic quaotations. I am forever indebted to the
amazing scholarship of those God-loving (or as Ignatius of Antioch would say,
God-bearing) souls.
Thank you again and God bless your ministry."

Books by JOHN KNOX
KNOX, JOHN
The Works of John Knox (6
volumes)
Here is a chance to touch the
flame that ignited whole nations for covenanted Reformation. John Knox is considered
by many to have been the most biblically consistent and thoroughgoing of all
the great Reformers of the sixteenth century. "John Knox was in fact the embodiment of the
Scottish Reformation as its preacher, theologian, liturgist, historian, and catalyst
for reform." (Hall
and Hall, ed. Paradigms in Polity: Classic Readings in Reformed and
Presbyterian Church Government
[Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1994], p. 219).
"With this concern for
purity of worship," notes Kevin Reed regarding Knox, "it is no wonder
that the Scottish Reformation was the most thorough among any of the Protestant
nations." (From the
introduction to John Knox, True and False Worship: A Vindication of the
Doctrine that the Sacrifice of the Mass is Idolatry [Dallas, TX: Presbyterian Heritage
Publications, 1550 reprinted 1994], p.14.).
"I know not," states
George Smeaton, "if ever so much piety and genius were lodged in such a
frail and weak body. Certain I am, that it will be difficult to find one in
whom the gifts of the Holy Spirit shone so bright to the comfort of the
church." (Cited in Thomas M'Crie, The Life of John Knox [1831], p. 272.)
The Works of John Knox listed here is the complete six volume
set collected by David Laing, 1895. Concerning this 6 volume collection, Kyle,
in The Mind of John Knox
(p. 14) notes, "The only real basis for a study of Knox's thought must
be the writings of the reformer himself. From 1846 to 1864, David Laing
collected and edited nearly all of Knox's extant writings. This remarkable
collection, which scholars regard highly, is indispensable for any serious
study of John Knox."
The Works of John Knox (Vol. 1)
Reid, in his Trumpeter of God, notes that Knox "wrote history
as a prophet" and
that, wherever he could, he used original sources, many of which he reproduced.
Furthermore, he proclaims that this "is still a work that no one
interested in this area can afford to neglect." As W.C. Dickinson has
commented, "it is his monument, for in it he puts flesh and blood on
the whole Reformation movement."
Innes (John Knox, p.
45) says of this work, "[t]he author who has enabled us to see his own
confused and changing age under 'the broad clear light of that wonderful book'
the History of the Reformation in Scotland, and who outside that book was the utterer of many an armed
and winged word which pursues and smites us to this day, must have been born
with nothing less than genius -- genius to observe, to narrate, and to judge.
Even had he written as a mere recluse and critic, looking out upon his world
from a monk's cell or from the corner of a housetop, the vividness, the
tenderness, the sarcasm and the humour would still have been there."
Moreover, Burton writes, "[t]here certainly is in the English language
no other parallel to it in clearness, vigour, and picturesqueness with which it
renders the history of a stirring period" (cited in Innes, John Knox, p. 45). This photocopy edition far
surpasses the edited down version that is available in paperback. Over 600
pages of stirring Reformation history.

The Works of John Knox (Vol. 2)
"Knox portrayed the origins
and development of a movement and not a mere chronology of events... Knox based
his arguments on original sources and he often cited the documents in full.
When Knox's History is compared to the contemporary vernacular narratives of
Bishop Leslie and Sir James Melville, the superiority of Knox's work becomes
evident. For the most part, these writers were preoccupied with petty details
and had no conception of the momentous issues that hung on the events they
recorded... Knox used history to demonstrate his single-track philosophy.
And his philosophy said: 'The hearts of men, their thoughts, and their actions
are but in the hands of God.'
Lee said Knox's History was
a sermon without an audience, a preaching book, one long inflammatory speech in
behalf of God's truth as the reformer saw it." (Kyle, The Mind of John Knox, p. 13). Our editions of volumes one and
two of Knox's Works
contain the only full, unedited version of Knox's massive History of the Reformation in Scotland available today.
History of the Reformation in Scotland Book 3
(1559-1561)
The Confession of Faith (1560)
"After the death of the
regent Mary of Guise, Knox and five others drew up the Scots Confession, which
parliament approved. The authority of the pope was abolished and celebration of
the Mass became illegal"
(Encyclopedia of the Reformed Faith,
p. 208). "It was the Scottish church's official theology for only 90
years, having been superseded in 1647 by the Westminster Confession... the
Confession is... cordial, vigorous, and spontaneous. A crystal-clear
theological core is dressed in prophetic and militant language. A number of passages have inspired
Christians in Scotland and elsewhere. Especially noteworthy are its insights on
the Bible, Communion, Christian living, and the Christian's relationship with
civil power" (Christian History, Vol. 14, No. 2, p. 24). Interestingly, some German
Christians, suffering under Hitler's tyranny, sought guidance from this
Confession -- a pattern that has often been repeated regarding Knox's works,
whenever tyranny raises its ugly head. Knox championed and defended the
Biblical doctrine regarding the right to revolution and its concomitant, resistance
against unbiblical authoritarianism in Church and State.
The Book of Discipline (1560)
"Knox and five others
drafted the Book of Discipline (1560), which set forth a blueprint for the
ideal Christian society,"
notes the Encyclopedia of the Reformed Faith. "The Book of Discipline was used in conjunction with Calvin's
Catechism (http://www.swrb.com/catalog/C.htm) and the book of order previously used
by the English congregation in Geneva," writes Reed (John Knox the
Forgotten Reformer
[available only on the
PHP CD at http://www.swrb.com/catalog/R.htm], p. 7). The First Book "asserted
the authority of Scripture, and it demonstrates that the regulative principle
of worship is merely a natural application of the sola scriptura rule of
Protestant theology"
(Ibid., p. 76). The
second book, often called the "Magna Carta of Presbyterianism," focuses more specifically on
matters of polity relating to an established and reformed church, laying out
the key tenets of Presbyterian government. It also gives attention to the
doctrine of the civil magistrate. Both books prefigure the Westminster
Standards in many respects, as well as exhibiting the genius of Scottish
Presbyterianism.

The Works of John Knox (Vol. 3)
An Epistle to the congregation of the Castle of St. Andrews
A Vindication of the Doctrine that the sacrifice of the
mass is idolatry
Contains much that is related to
worship questions and the blessings that God pours out upon Churches that keep
the second commandment -- as well as the curses that follow those who reject
the regulative principle of worship.
A
Summary according to the Holy Scriptures of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper
A Declaration of the true nature and object of prayer
An Exposition upon the Sixth Psalm of David
A Fort for the Afflicted
A
Godly Letter of warning or admonition to the faithful in London, Newcastle, and
Berwick
This letter is written as a
warning against defection from the Reformed religion and against giving
countenance to the idolatrous worship then being practised, in England, by
public authority. The Mass was especially odious in Knox's sight and he
"calls his people to separate from compromising associations with
idolaters; the Lord's people must never condone false religion, or give the
impression that corrupt worship is a matter of indifference" (notes Kevin Reed in his editor's
note to this letter found in the Selected Writings of John Knox, p. 146). Our photocopy edition of this
work is titled An Admonition to Flee Idolatry, Romanism and All False
Worship.
Certain
Questions concerning obedience to Lawful magistrates, with answers by Bullinger
Bullinger, in answering "[w]hether
obedience is to be rendered to a Magistrate who enforces idolatry and condemns
true religion..." states, "death itself is far preferable to the
admission of idolatry."
Two comfortable epistles to his afflicted brethren in
England
A Faithful Admonition to the professors of God's truth in
England
Written at a time when the true
church had been driven underground by Roman Catholic persecution, it was said concerning this letter that
"many other godly men besides have been exposed to the risk of their
property, and even life itself, upon the sole ground of either having had this
book in their possession, or having read it." Kevin Reed gives an excellent summary of this letter
in Selected Writings of John Knox, when, in part, he writes, "[w]hile acknowledging
the risk of persecution to the faithful, the reformer perceives a greater
danger in compromising with idolatry. Government
persecution may bring disfavour of men, loss of personal goods and, in some
cases, physical death; but idolatry brings down the wrath of God, resulting in
grievous punishments, now and through eternity. Idolatry also invites a curse
upon the posterity of the nation. In an intense pastoral appeal, Knox strongly
admonishes his readers to avoid conforming to the Romish rites of worship"
(p. 220). Our photocopy edition is titled, Against Romish Rites and
Political and Ecclesiastical Tyranny.
The Epistle of a banished man
Epistles to Mrs. Elizabeth Bowes and Her Daughter Marjory
Appendices 1-7
The Treatise by Balnaves on justification by faith as
revised by Knox
"From," this book
"which clearly enunciated Luther's great theme of justification by faith,
it can be certain that Knox was squarely in the mainstream of the Reformation's
purpose of restoring the gospel of Jesus Christ to its rightful place... The
Scottish reformer asserted that the wicked believe works to be a part of
salvation, but a true preacher must exclude them from justification as did
Christ and the prophets. Yet Knox did not condemn good works, for as shall be
seen, he held them to be a fruit of justification, but not the cause of it....
Finally, he contended that the faith of the Old Testament fathers and that of
the New Testament, which he possessed, were one and the same. The patriarchs
stood in God's favor in the future promised Seed, and Knox stood in God's grace
by faith in the Seed that had already been revealed. Such a position of exact
continuity in the promise of the gospel and in the content and object of the
faith bore some resemblance to the 'Federal Theology' or the covenant
theological system that developed more formally at a later date" (Kyle, The
Mind of John Knox, pp.
85, 98).

An

Scotland
Our photocopy edition of this
letter is titled, What to Do When There Is No Faithful Church in Your
Area. Given the lack
of truly Reformed churches in many areas, this letter, full of practical
advise, should be a welcome addition to the libraries of those seeking to
remain ecclesiastically faithful to the Lord. This letter will provide a useful
bridge for those separated geographically from faithful fellowship, until new,
duly constituted churches can be formed.

Revolution and Romanism: An Appeal to the Scottish Nobility (1558), as a photocopy. David Chilton notes, "Of all the
sixteenth-century Reformers, John Knox remains the most ardently loved and
fiercely hated. No other leader of his day saw so clearly the political issues
in the light of Scripture. Nor has any of his contemporaries had so much direct
influence upon the subsequent history of the world. He transformed a land of
barbarians into one of the most hardheadly Calvinistic cultures ever to exist,
and his doctrines lie at the core of all Protestant revolutionary activity.
While he is often considered merely one of Calvin's lieutenants, he was
actually a Reformer in his own right. In some respects he was the greatest of
them all." ("John Knox," The Journal of Christian
Reconstruction: Symposium on Puritanism and Law [Vallecito, CA: Chalcedon, Vol. V, No.
2, Winter, 1978-79, p. 194). Furthermore, R.L. Greaves has noted that "it
has even been suggested" and not altogether without merit "that Knox
was a key link in the development of political ideology that culminated in the
American Revolution." Theology and Revolution in the Scottish
Reformation: Studies in the Thought of John Knox (Grand Rapids, MI: Christian University
Press, 1980, p. 156). Moreover, Mason states that this Appeal "is the most important... of
Knox's political writings,"
(in the Introduction to his compilation of Knox's political writings titled On
Rebellion). It shows in
a conclusive manner that Knox wanted a COVENANTED ESTABLISHMENT which was
careful to "disapprove, detest, oppose and remove all false worship and
all monuments of idolatry" (cf. Westminster Larger Catechism #108). It also clearly demonstrates that
Knox believed in and promoted the continuing binding validity of the Old
Testament case laws and the penal sanctions attached to them, including the
death penalty. Kevin Reed, in a editor's note, introducing this piece in his
Selected Writing of John Knox,
also points out that "the Westminster Confession provides a distinct
echo of Knox, when it states that the magistrate 'hath authority, and it is his
duty, to take order, that unity and peace be preserved in the church, that the
truth of God be kept pure and entire, that all blasphemies and heresies be
suppressed, all corruptions and abuses in worship and discipline prevented or
reformed, and all the ordinances of God duly settled, administered, and
observed'" (Ch.
23:3, original wording). One secular historian once described Knox as
"Calvin with a sword," making one wonder if he had not just been
reading this very book. For "[w]here Calvin merely permitted disobedience
to an ungodly ruler or immoral law, Knox championed armed rebellion -- a type
of Calvinism that made religious revolution in Scotland possible" (Christian
History, Issue 46, p. 35). This is the best of the best; don't miss it!

An
Answer to the Cavillations of an adversary respecting the doctrine of
predestination
Curt Daniel calls this "Knox's
major theological work."
Moreover, he states that this is "more than a short answer (to the
Anabaptist–RB, 468 pages), it is a complete exposition and defence of
the Reformed doctrine at the height of the Scottish Reformation" which helped "guide early
Presbyterianism and build the theological bridge between Edinburgh and Geneva." Furthrermore, Walker writes:
"Very far from being a mere iconoclast, he (Knox) was also a great teacher
of his country men... the long and elaborate treatise on Predestination, in
which the doctrines of grace and of divine sovereignty are so vigorously, yet
upon the whole so wisely, asserted and maintained -- gives Knox a high place
among theologians" (Theology and Theologians of Scotland). Boettner, in his Reformed Doctrine
of Predestination, calls
this Knox's "chief theological work." Titled Against an Anabaptist: In Defense of
Predestination in
the photocopy edition.

The Preface
Thus beginneth the book of the adversaries of God's eternal

An Epistle to the inhabitants of Newcastle and Berwick
Written to stem the tide of
backsliding and compromise during the dark days of Mary's reign in England,
Knox sends a pastoral exhortation of repentance to those who had reverted to idolatrous
worship. Grieving, he says that he was "wounded almost to death" over
these developments. Nevertheless he remained faithful to his readers, directing
them to consider the great reward awaiting those who persevere and noting
"how horrible are the torments which the slaves of Satan (I mean
idolaters, and such as for fear refuse the known truth) shall suffer with the
Devil, and with his angels, without end." Herein we see the serious nature
of idolatry and of turning away from truth once attained. Titled Against
Apostasy and Indifference
in the photocopy
edition.
A Brief Exhortation to England for the speedy embracing of
the Gospel
Kevin Reed (Selected Writings
of John Knox, p. 580)
comments, "Some historians have reflected negatively on the vehemence of
Knox's remarks. Perhaps they should peruse the long list of the martyrs named
in the appendix to this work. Critics may then find a clue for understanding
the reformer's zeal. Knox is discussing serious matters of life and death --
spiritual issues which affect us deeply in this life, and for eternity."
Magistrates everywhere today need to hear this message again; God has not
changed -- there are still corporate curses for disobedience at a national
level and corporate blessings for those nations "that kiss the Son"
(cf. Psalm 2). Titled

this book received the approval of John Calvin. Succinctly covers matters of
worship and church government. "Readers need only a cursory glance at
contemporary Presbyterian books of order to see how far these modern manuals of
polity have degenerated from their venerable predecessors," notes Kevin
Reed in the introduction. The Geneva Book is not a liturgy, but illustrates the
doctrine and practices of worship used by a church committed to the regulative
principle of worship. The Geneva Order was later adopted and expanded by the
church of Scotland. This item is also FREE at: http://www.swrb.com/newslett/actualnls/GBO_ch00.htm.

The editor of Knox's writings in
the series of British Reformers describes this work as, "among the most
interesting of the writings of the Scottish Reformer. The sophistries of the Jesuit are
completely exposed, and we have answers to many of those arguments which the
Jesuits of the present day have brought forward dressed up in specious colours.
The ardent desire of Knox to depart and to be with Christ is fully expressed;
and the impartial reader of the letter to Tyrie, with its appendages, will be
fully satisfied that Knox was not the turbulent ambitious character which his
adversaries represent him to have been." In our photocopy edition this
work is titled An Answer to a Jesuit: The Marks of a True Church and
Ministry.

Knox Debates God's Law, Idolatry and Civil Resistance in the General Assembly
of 1564
"Perhaps the most thoroughgoing
Calvinist," writes W. Stanford Reid (in Christian History magazine, Vol. 5, No. 4), "who took
the teacher's (Calvin--RB) ideas to their logical conclusions, was the Scot,
John Knox." This debate is a perfect example of Knox's consistent
Calvinism.Reid (Trumpeter of God,
pp. 234-235) also notes that "[t]he implications of this debate were far
reaching" and that "[a]s far as Knox personally was concerned, this
debate also marked a turning point in his career." Also of great
importance was the situation that occurred "[w]hen Maitland quoted Luther,
Musculus, Calvin, and others to support the requirement of absolute obedience,
Knox replied that they either spoke in a situation in which they had no power
to resist the ruler or they were refuting arguments of Anabaptists who rejected
all civil government. Unfaithful rulers could therefore be removed by the
people if they had the power to do so. In this position he was supported by
John Craig, his colleague in St. Giles, and by most, although not all, of the
other ministers" (Trumpeter,
p. 234).

BOOKS ON JOHN KNOX
M'CRIE, THOMAS
Life
of Knox. Containing Illustrations of the History of the Reformation in Scotland;
with Biographical Notices of the Principal Reformers, & Sketches of the
Progress of Literature in Scotland During the Sixteenth Century (1855)
Iain Murray, in his stirring
introduction to Cunningham's Historical Theology writes, "The third event marking
the commencement of this spiritual movement was the publication of a book in
1811. It was the biography of John Knox by Thomas M'Crie. All over Scotland this work was used to
revive the memory of the great Reformer and nothing could have been a more telling
protest against the stifling influence of Moderatism. It brought many a student
and minister into the experience once described by James Fraser of Brae in his Memoirs: 'When I read Knox, I thought I saw
another scheme of divinity, much more agreeable to the Scriptures and to my
experience than the modern.'" M'Crie followed this up in 1819 with a
biography of Knox's great successor, Andrew Melville (Life of Andrew Melville
[2 vol.]), and these two books became known as the 'Iliad and Odyssey of the Scottish
Church.' Just as Homer's heroes fired the hearts of many imitators so M'Crie's
biographies aroused a holy ambition in many to follow the noble example of
these two spiritual giants." M'Crie's work is an undisputed classic
regarding this fiery reformer. It exhibits information on Knox and the Scottish
Reformation which has been hid in manuscripts and books which are now little
known or consulted. Knox may be the most pertinent first Reformation Reformer
to study in our day of widespread idolatry, theological and civil pluralism,
anti-Christian government, humanistic law, relativism, false ecumenicity, and
the revival of that "masterpiece of Satan," Roman Catholicism. Read everything that you can get your hands on either by or
about Knox; you'll never be the same again! This is the full unedited
text of 484 pages, not
available from any other publisher (to our knowledge).
LORIMER, PETER
John
Knox and the Church of England: His Work in Her Pulpit and His Influence Upon
Her Liturgy, Articles, and Parties (1875)
Here Lorimer gives us an
important look at a major chapter in the life of Christ's Reformation
"workman," as founded upon several important papers of Knox never
before published. Kyle
elaborates: "After the publication of Laing's collection, three smaller
Knoxian writings were discovered. In 1875 these tracts were reprinted as part
of Peter Lorimer's book John Knox and the Church of England. Scholarly criticism has verified Knox's
authorship of these articles" (The Mind of John Knox, p. 14). Lorimer himself says that
"[t]he amount of fresh biographical and historical material supplied by
these papers is so very considerable that it appeared to warrant and suggest a
re-writing of the English chapter of Knox's life." Furthermore, he continues,
that though Knox is too often thought of only in connection "with his work
and success as the Reformer of Scotland," it should be remembered that
"a large portion of the best and most energetic part of his life was
spent in England, and among Englishmen out of England." Kevin Reed, one of the foremost
Knox scholars alive today, calls this work "an excellent account of
Knox's ministry in England"
(John Knox the Forgotten Reformer,
p. 19. Forthcoming in print from Presbyterian Heritage Publications, or
available now on the PHP CD under "REED, KEVIN" at http://www.swrb.com/catalog/R.htm ).
BROWN, P. HUME
John Knox: A Biography (1895,
2 volumes)
Brown says of Knox, "It
would, indeed, be difficult to name another historical personage who in such
degree as Knox revealed a nation's genius to itself, and at once vitalized and
dominated its collective thought and action. To present Knox in this twofold
aspect, at once as a great Scotsman, and a figure of European importance, is
the object of the present biography." Moreover, Brown continues, noting that in Knox, "we
have precisely what distinguishes the great religious leader from the mere
religious visionary... we have seen in Knox one of the great emancipators of
humanity, whose work left undone would irremediably have injured the highest
interests not only of his own country but of the community of civilized nations... For the mass of his countrymen, those
who have shaped the nation's destinies in the past as they must shape them in
the future, Knox is the greatest person their country has produced, and the
man to whom in all that makes a people great they owe the deepest and most
abiding debt. 'What I
have been to my country,' he himself said when within sight of the end he
looked back on the long travail of his life, 'what I have been to my country,
albeit this unthankful age will not know, yet the ages to come will be
compelled to bear witness to the truth;' and the consenting testimony of three
centuries is the evidence and pledge that his assurance was not in vain." A
rare and extensive biography of over 700 pages at a very low price.

is not only a series of the assemblies, and of the principal of their actings
recorded; but also a full and plain relation of the trials and troubles, which
the church did meet with from enemies to the purity of her doctrine, worship,
discipline and government; of the several alterations, caused or occasioned
thereby, of the many sad and lamentable faintings and backslidings of persons,
sometimes eminent in the church; of the faithful contendings of others for the
prerogatives of Christ, as the alone Head of the Church, for the purity of his
institutions, and for the liberty and privileges of His Church and Kingdom, against
all the enemies thereof, and particularly against Erastianism, and Prelacy, the
two grand enemies of the discipline and government of the Church of Christ, and
of their sad sufferings upon the account thereof. Printed in 1678.
KERR, JAMES (editor)
The
Covenants and the Covenanters: Covenants, Sermons, and Documents of the
Covenanted Reformation
The prefatory note to this
magnificent volume well describes its value: "The Covenants, Sermons,
and Papers in this volume carry the readers back to some of the brightest
periods in Scottish history. They mark important events in that great struggle
by which these three kingdoms (England, Scotland and Ireland–RB) were
emancipated from the despotisms of Pope, Prince, and Prelate, and an
inheritance of liberty secured for these Islands of the Sea. The whole achievements of the heroes of
the battlefields are comprehended under that phrase of Reformers and Martyrs,
'The Covenanted Work of Reformation.' The attainments of those stirring times
were bound together by the Covenants, as by rings of gold. The Sermons here
were the product of the ripe thought of the main actors in the various scenes
-- men of piety, learning, and renown. Hence, the nature, objects , and
benefits of personal and national Covenanting are exhibited in a manner fitted
to attract to that ordinance the minds and hearts of men." (Thomas Sproull
cited in the Reformed Presbytery's Short Vindication, p. 38). 442 pages with illustrations.

The Westminster Assembly - Westminster Confession of Faith (1646)
Contains
the original and unedited text of this judicially binding document, the greatest of Christian Confessions, with the
full scripture proof texts written out. This book represents Reformed
thinking at its purest and best.
"The product of Puritan conflict," stated Shedd, reaching "a
perfection of statement never elsewhere achieved." "All that learning the most
profound and extensive, intellect the most acute and searching, and piety the
most sincere and earnest, could accomplish, was thus concentrated in the
Westminster Assembly's Confession of Faith, which may be safely termed the
most perfect statement of Systematic Theology ever framed by the Christian
Church," writes
Hetherington in The History of the Westminster Assembly of Divines (p. 345, emphasis added). Also included

delegates but also of twenty-six delegates from eight foreign countries... In

John Calvin - On
Shunning the Unlawful Rites of the Ungodly and Preserving the Purity of the

Herein
Calvin maintains the sinfulness of outward conformity to false worship. Dealing with a major problem of his
day, Calvin shows that false worship should never
be tolerated or participated in (even by your bodily presence), no matter what
the cost -- whether it be persecution, exile, or death. For his faithfulness in this matter, Calvin
was greatly scorned. Obvious parallels to our day abound, not the least of
which include the Lordship controversy, false ecumenism, rampant idolatry in
the false rites maintained in the public worship of backslidden Protestantism,
and in the rise of the influence Roman Catholic harlot (once again in our day).

and of Several Branches of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. With
Notes, Exhibiting the Connection, Explaining the Sense, and for Directing and
Animating the Devotion (1841 edition)
This
is the Psalter (less Brown's notes, which were added later) mandated, approved
and used (for public, family, and private worship) by the Westminster Assembly
and all those who covenanted to uphold the Biblical Reformation that these
Divines proclaimed. The
text of the Scottish Metrical Psalms was authorized by the General Assembly of the Church of
Scotland in 1650. The notes added by Brown are suitable for explaining the
Psalm before singing and are a great aid to understanding and worship (whether
public, family, or private).
This
is a primary source document of Reformation; not to be missed by those serious
about the Reformed faith -- and worshipping God in spirit and in truth. There are few things in life as pleasing and enjoyable as
communing with Christ through the singing of His Psalms! Excerpted from the "Library of

Andrew Clarkson - The Reformed View of Schism
The
Reformers often said "that to avoid schism we must separate." This should give the perceptive reader
some indication of how badly misunderstood the biblical teaching regarding
schism and separation (which should be differentiated in many ways) has become
in our day. Sadly, some of the most anti-Reformed work on this subject has been
written by contemporary individuals, who, though calling themselves Reformed,
"understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm" (1
Tim. 1:7). This excerpt from Clarkson's Plain
Reasons for Presbyterians Dissenting should contribute much to
correcting the promotion of unbiblical ecumenism and place this doctrine back
on its Scriptural foundation -- which was recovered during the Reformation.
Clarkson cites Beza, Rutherford, Gillespie, Dickson, Durham, McWard
(Rutherford's "disciple"), Marshal, Watson, Owen, Burroughs, and many
others, while defending the truth about schism. Objections brought against the
Reformation view of schism are also carefully answered. This is probably the
single best short treatment of this subject.

"Instruments
were first introduced into use (in public worship) by the Roman Catholic Church
in the thirteenth century. The Calvinistic Reformed Church ejected instrumental
music from its services as a element of Popery. The historical argument
combines with the scriptural and the confessional arguments to raise a solemn

the Presbyterian Church (or any other church seeking to remain faithful to
Scripture)" adapted from Instrumental

Refutes the Popish and paedocommunion heresies (regarding the Lord's Supper),
as well as all views of open communion. Also argues that Arminians,
anti-paedobaptists, anti-regulativists, and all those who openly violate the

Francis Nigel Lee - Always Victorious! The
Earliest Church Not Pre- But Postmillennial (2000)
A
fascinating 24 page look at early church history and eschatology (with English
tranlations of Latin works) which backs up the following strong statements by
Dr. Lee,
The
plain truth is: Chiliasm (Premillennialism--RB) is neither Old-Testamentical,
Ancient-Apocryphal, Pseudepigraphical, New-Testamentical, Neo-Apocryphal, or
Early-Patristic. Instead, it is a Mid-Patristic minority viewpoint -- derived from Zoroastrian Paganism. Where, then, did the unscriptural
chiliastic teaching of the "double resurrection" come from? Whence
arose this teaching of a physical resurrection of the saints separated by a thousand years from a subsequent
physical resurrection of the wicked? Not from the Bible -- but from Babel!
It was
only from the middle of the second century A.D. onward, then, that the
Babylonian-Persian chiliastic idea
of two widely-separated physical resurrections began to expand even on the
fringes of the Christian Church.
First it influenced Sub-Christian groups like the Cerinthians, Ebionites, and
the Montanists -- cf. too
the modern Mormons, Pentecostalists, Seventh-day Adventists, and Jehovah's
Witnesses. And then it ultimately influenced even some of the
authentically-Christian groups themselves.
We
summarize. None of
the books of the Bible nor any
extant writings of the Earliest Church Fathers -- such as the Didachee or Teaching of the Twelve Apostles (A.D. 97), the Epistle of Barnabas (98), Clement of Rome (98), Hermas (100),
Ignatius (107), Quadratus (120), the Epistle to Diognetus (130), Pseudo-Clement (135), Polycarp
(140), or Papias (145) -- are chiliastic. With the exception of the
Mid-Patristic Justin (150), Irenaeus (185), Tertullian (200) and those who
followed them -- none of the later Patristic Fathers were Chiliasts.

6.
Francis Nigel Lee - Calvin on Islam (2000)
Given
the prominent place in Scripture that God apportions to revealing Islam as
one of the most significant antichristian forces in history (and in the light of the rise and
progress of Islam in our day), Dr. Lee has provided a much-needed service to
the Christian community by gathering together (into one easy-reading book) the
thoughts of one of the greatest Reformers, John Calvin, on one of the chief
historical enemies of the church of Christ and the souls of men.

L'Avenir - Apocalyptic
Interpretation
Since
the time of the great Reformation, there have been no less than SIX
PROMINENT THEORIES of
eschatological interpretation, each claiming for itself the palm of merit, and
all demanding the unanimous suffrage of the Christian Church. This
article summarizes these positions while also exposing the Jesuit origins of
Preterism and Futurism.
It also notes that Historicism
was the theory of the Waldenses, Wickliffites, and Hussites; and the great body
of the Reformers in the 16th century-German, Swiss, French, English, generally
received it. It has been the view of the vast majority of Scottish
Presbyterians. It was also the view of many prominent American divines, from
Edwards to the 19th century Princeton theologians - the Alexanders, the Hodges,
Miller, etc. It is
preeminently the theory of the Reformation, and therefore has been violently opposed by Roman Catholics,
prelatists, rationalising expositors and other foes of reformational
principles.

Concerning

Mitchell writes,"...it is a thoroughly Calvinistic and Puritan

fruit of the Assembly's thought and experience, maturing and finally fixing the
definitions of theological terms to which Puritanism for half a century had
been leading up and gradually coming closer and closer to in its legion of
catechisms" (Westminster Assembly: Its History and Standards, p. 431). Richard Baxter said of the Westminster
Shorter Catechism,
"It is the best Catechism I ever saw -- a most excellent sum of the Christian faith and
doctrine, and a fit test to try the orthodoxy of its teachers."

translation (King James
Version) combined with the best Bible notes of the first Reformation (the Geneva Bible notes [from the 1599
edition])! A great tool for public, family and private worship and study. Contains almost 1000 (8.5 X 11 inch)

this a veritable library of study and classic Protestant commentary in just one book!
THE
ENGLISH HEXAPLA EXHIBITING THE SIX IMPORTANT ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS OF THE
NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES, WICLIF, TYNDALE, CRANMER, GENEVAN, ANGLO-RHEMISH,
AUTHORIZED OR KING JAMES VERSION (1,080 pages, 1841)
The English Hexapla offered
here contains the six English translations noted in the title, arranged side by
side for easy comparison and reference.
Dates for each version used are as follows: Wiclif (1380, the first English
New Testament, Purvey's revision), Tyndal (1534, a version of the first
English-printed New Testament of 1525), Cranmer's Great Bible (1539, the first
authorized English Bible), Geneva (1557, the first Bible with numbered verses),
Rheims (1582, the first Roman Catholic version), King James Version (1611,
first edition). Of
special interest may be the Geneva 1557 version (from a copy of the first
edition), as both Geneva Bible's presently in print contain later versions
(1599 and 1602) of this text. It should also be noted that the notes to the
Geneva Bible are not included in the English Hexapla, just the text. The 1611
edition of the KJV will also be of value to those who would like to compare it
with the more modern version of this translation. "The notation of the
verses has been inserted in all the translations, for convenience of
reference... In illustration of the utility of the comparison of the various translations,
much that is interesting might be advanced, but which the use of the volume
will at once afford. The varied, although ordinarily equivalent manner in which
the different translators render the same phrase, often throws much light upon
the exact meaning; and when the versions vary in sense, the enquiry suggested
with reference to the Original cannot fail to afford profit while it
interests" ("Plan of the English Hexapla," pp. 161-162).
Additionally this English Hexapla also includes "The original Greek
text after Scholz with the various readings of the Textus Receptus and the
principal Constantinopolitan and Alexanderine manuscripts, and a complete
collation of Scholz's text with Griesbach's edition of 1805... The Greek text has been placed in the
upper part of each page, for the purpose of facilitating the comparison of the
versions with the Original, so desirable when they vary in rendering any
passage." This is all preceded by a detailed and annotated 160 page
historical account of the English translations. 1,080 pages.
BOOKS
ON THE BIBLE and THOSE WHO HAVE TRANSLATED IT (Inspiration, Sola Scriptura,
etc.)
DEMAUS, ROBERT (Edited by Richard Lovett)
William Tyndale: A Biography (1904)
Because of his ground breaking
effort to produce a Bible in English, the editor of this biography of Tyndale
notes that "there are not lacking those who consider him [Tyndale] to be
the one man to whom modern Englishmen owe the largest debt of gratitude (p.
5)." Thus anyone interested in the Reformation in English-speaking
countries would necessarily need to know about Tyndale and his work.
Furthermore, Robert Demaus' biography of this great Reformer was done so
well that "it was but natural that the book should at once become the
standard authority on the subject, which it is now admitted on all hands to be (p. 5)."

This book sets forth the
Crown rights of King Jesus, against all usurpers in both church and state,
giving a history of some of faithful sufferings endured by the elect, in
maintaining this truth. It
bears testimony against "the popish, prelatical and malignant
enemies" of Christ and proclaims the only true basis of liberty for
mankind. "The
matter is argued with a vast abundance of Biblical illustration, and with much
reference to Reformation and Puritan divines. It
should be consulted, if practicable, by all who wish fully to understand the
inner spirit of the Covenanting Movement," writes Purves in Fair
Sunshine (p. 202).
Isbell interestingly notes that Shields was once "amanuensis to the

REFORMED PRESBYTERY
Auchensaugh
Renovation of the National Covenant and Solemn League and Covenant; with the
Acknowledgement of Sins and Engagement to Duties as they were Renewed at
Auchensaugh in 1712... Also the Renovation of These Public Federal Deeds
Ordained at Philadelphia, Oct. 8, 1880, By the Reformed Presbytery, With
Accommodation of the Original Covenants, in Both Transactions, to their Times
and Positions Respectively (1880 ed.)
"In 1712, at Auchensaugh,
the Covenants, National and Solemn League, were renewed... At the renewal the
covenant bonds were recognized as binding the descendants of those who first
entered into those bonds. The Covenanters, however, sought to display the true
intent of those Covenants with marginal notes. These notes explained that
the Church of Jesus Christ, in Scotland (and around the world), must not join
hands with any political power in rebellion to the crown rights of King Jesus. The Covenanters pledged the Covenanted
Reformed Presbyterian Church to the support of lawful magistracy (i.e.
magistracy which conformed itself to the precepts of God's Word) and declared
themselves and their posterity against support of any power, in Church or
State, which lacked biblical authority." (From "About the Covenanted
Reformed Presbyterian Church" newsletter). An excellent introduction
(historical and moral) regarding the reasons, motives, and manner of fulfilling
the duty of covenanting with God. Especially helpful concerning the Biblical
view of the blessings (for covenant-keepers) and cursings (for covenant
breakers) related to covenanting. As noted on page 37, "the godly
usually in times of great defection from the purity and power of religion, and
corruption of the ordinances of God's worship, set about renewing their
covenant, thereby to prevent covenant curses, and procure covenant blessing; as
we find both in scripture record, 2 Chron. 15:12-13; 29:10; 34:30-31; Ezra
10:3, and in our own ecclesiastical history." Times like ours certainly call for a revival of the
Scriptural ordinance of covenanting, for "[t]he nations throughout
Christendom, continue in league with Antichrist and give their strength to the
beast. They still refuse to profess and defend the true religion in doctrine,
worship, government and discipline, contrary to the example of the kingdoms of
Scotland, England and Ireland in the seventeenth century" (p. 136 in this
book). This is one of the most important Covenanter documents and a part
of the true Covenanted church's judicial standards.140 pages.

REFORMED PRESBYTERY
An
Explanation and Defence of the Terms of Communion, Adopted by the Community of
Dissenters, etc.
Defends the inescapable
necessity of creeds and confessions, while promoting a fully creedal church
membership. Shows how
the law of God obliges all Christians "to think the same things, and to
speak the same things; holding fast the form of sound words, and keeping the
ordinances as they have been delivered to us" (Col. 3:13). After laying
some basic groundwork, this book proceeds to defend the six points of the
"Terms of Ministerial and Christian Communion Agreed Upon by the Reformed
Presbytery." These six points are the most conservative and
comprehensive short statements of consistent Presbyterianism you will likely
ever see. Besides the
obvious acknowledgement of the alone infallible Scriptures, the Westminster
Standards, and the divine right of Presbyterianism, these points also maintain
the perpetual obligation of our Covenants, National and Solemn League, the
Renovation of these covenants at Auchensaugh in 1712, and the Judicial Act,
Declaration and Testimony
emitted by the Reformed Presbytery. In short, this book sets forth
adherence to the whole of the covenanted reformation, in both church and state,
as it has been attained by our covenanting forefathers.

STEWART, JAMES and JAMES STIRLING
Naphtali,

Beginning of the Reformation of Religion Unto the Year, 1667. Together with the
Last Speeches and Testimonies of some Who have Died for the Truth Since the
Year 1660... (1693)
Stewart, a Covenanter lawyer and
writer, is characterized by Wodrow as "a great Christian, and an able
Statesman, one of the greatest Lawers ever Scotland bred, of universall
learning, of vast reading, great and long experience in publick business..." (Analecta II, 205). This book is "(t)he product
of joint authorship. The first and logical part of this famous covenanting work
was executed by Sir James Stewart of Goodtrees; it bears the stamp of a mind of
great vigor and grasp. The narrative portion was written by the Rev. James
Stirling of Paisley, whose Recollections form a interesting portion of Wodrow's
Analecta. In 1667
the Council issued a proclamation against Naphtali, ordering it to be burned.
(Wod., II., 100.) All copies were to be delivered up to the nearest
magistrates, and a fine of ten thousand pounds Scots was the penalty inflicted
upon any in whose hands the book should afterwards be found. It passed through
the flames unscathed only to become dearer than ever to the Scottish hearts. Numerous editions have appeared, edited
by such honored names as Dr. Henry Duncan, Ruthwell, Dr. W. Wilson, Carmylie,
and others... The Book was translated into Dutch in 1668 by Borstius of
Rotterdam..."

The
Self-Interpreting Bible: With Commentaries, References, Harmony
of the Gospels and Many Other Helps Needed to Understand and Teach the Text by John Brown
of Haddington (4 volumes, 2200 8.5 X 11 inch pages, 1914 edition)
Brown's
renown rests chiefly on The Self-Interpreting Bible
...
and to a lesser extent on A Dictionary of the Holy Bible (which is on Reformation Bookshelf CD
#7--RB). 'Brown's Bible' was repeatedly reprinted (in America as well as Britain, as were
all his more popular works), with improvements by later editors, even into the
twentieth century (and now into the 21st century!--RB). Its numerous aids...
included a system of marginal cross-references novel in its extensiveness. This
'library in one volume' became as common as Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and Thomas Boston's Fourfold State. It incorporated material from the Dictionary, which unlike modern counterparts,
explained basic English vocabulary and grammar (making it useful for homeschooling--RB),
and often went beyond making the Bible intelligible (to interpreting it, for
example the entry on--RB)... 'Antichrist' surveys papal history... (the
complete work--RB) is exemplary in its directness and accuracy (DSCHT, p. 99).
In Mackenzie's book, John
Brown of Haddington (also
on Reformation Bookshelf CD #7),
a whole chapter is devoted to just the Self-Interpreting Bible. Here is a glimpse at what Mackenzie has
to say,
No
work carried the reputation of the author so far afield as his Self-Interpreting
Bible... Its success
from the first was extraordinary... It will be evident that an extraordinary
amount of valuable material was thus placed at the command of the ordinary
reader. It was the
information that a student of the Scriptures hungered for, who had not access
to the learned works dealing with such subjects... Brown states that his avowed
aim in his publication is not to depreciate the valuable commentaries of these
writers (referring to some of the most famous Reformed commentators of the
past--RB), but 'to exhibit their principal substance with all possible
advantage... and in referring particularly to the New Testament, he adds that
'there the explication is peculiarly extensive, and attempts to exhibit the
substance of many learned and expensive commentaries.' ...The last edition of
Brown's Bible is undoubtedly the best (which is the same as the edition we have
used--RB) (pp. 177, 178, 185, 186).
The
issue of this Bible Commentary brought Brown into correspondence with many
notable persons, among them the saintly Charles Simeon of Cambridge... It was
Simeon's habit... to rise every morning at 4AM... after lighting a fire, he
devoted the first four hours of the day to private prayer and the devotional
study of the Scriptures. The favorite companion of these devotional hours was
Brown's Self-Interpreting Bible... Simeon prized the Self-Interpreting Bible above all others, and made acknowledgment
of the spiritual enlightenment and quickening which he received from its daily
perusal... (writing) "Your Self-Interpreting Bible seems to stand in lieu of all other
commentaries; and I am daily receiving so much edification and instruction from
it, that I would wish it in the hands of all serious ministers" (pp.
187-188).
Brown's
Bible was treasured in the homes of the people with all the reverence and care
enjoyed by Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and Boston's Fourfold State. It supplied what was lacking in
these great soul classics, providing a clear path to the fount from which they
derived their vitality and strength.
The three were considered the necessary literary and religious equipment of the
household. They furnished pabulum for serious reading; and they produced strong
men (p. 190).
Over 2200 (8.5" X 11")
pages in the complete set -- this Bible contains more features and additions
(from sections on prophecy fulfillment and hermeneutics to a chronological
index to Scripture history, Jewish festivals and the significations of obsolete
words [and much more!]-- with 448 photographs showing places of Bible events)
than we have space to note here!
Sovereignty of God in Salvation
COLES, ELISHA
God's Sovereignty, A Practical Discourse
A Puritan work recommended by
Charles Spurgeon, John Owen, Thomas Goodwin and William Romaine. Owen, in
particular, marvels at Coles' singular reliance on Scripture alone to vindicate
God's sovereignty, as it relates to election, redemption, effectual calling,
and the perseverance of the saints.
Originally published in 1673, this is the 1831 edition. 298 pages.
OWEN, JOHN
A
Display of Arminianism: Being A Discovery of the Old Pelagian Idol of Free
Will, With the New Goddess Contingency Advancing Themselves Into the Throne of
the God of Heaven, to the Prejudice of His Grace, Providence, and Supreme
Dominion Over the Children of Men...
This was Owen's first
publication (1642) and immediately brought him into notice. It contains
numerous useful charts contrasting Arminian doctrines, from some of their major
teachers, with those of Scripture (Calvinism) in a side-by-side format. Owen
leaves no room for compromise with Arminianism as he shows why this is, when
sincerely believed, a dangerous, devilish and damnable heresy! This position is
simply in keeping with Luther, as C.H. Spurgeon points out, "... and I
will go as far as Martin Luther, in that strong assertion of his, where he
says, 'If any man doth ascribe of salvation, even the very least, to the free
will of man, he knoweth nothing of grace, and he hath not learnt Jesus Christ
aright.' It may seem a harsh sentiment; but he who in his soul believes that
man does, of his own free will turn to God, cannot have been taught of God, for
that is one of the first principles taught us when God begins with us, that we
have neither will nor power, but that He gives both; that he is 'Alpha and
Omega' in the salvation of men." (from the sermon 'Free Will A Slave,'
1855, also see Luther's Reformation classic, The Bondage of the Will, http://www.swrb.com/catalog/L.htm ).
ZANCHIUS, JEROM
The Doctrine of Absolute Predestination
Atherton
calls this "one of the best, if not the best book ever issued on
Absolute Predestination."
Also see John Knox's On
Predestination, in Answer to the Cavillations by an Anabaptist,
which is found in volume five of Knox's Works (on Reformation Bookshelf CD
volume one).
Sovereignty of God in Worship
THE
PSALMS OF DAVID IN METRE (i.e. the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650): Allowed By the
Authority of the Kirk of Scotland, and of Several Branches of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States. With Notes, Exhibiting the Connection, Explaining
the Sense, and for Directing and Animating the Devotion (1844 edition published
by Robert Carter [New York]) John Brown of Haddington (annotations). Psalter by Francis Rouse,
the Westminster Divines, and the Scottish General Assembly (from 1646-1650)
This is the Psalter (less Brown's notes, which were added later) mandated, approved and used (for public and private worship) by the Westminster Assembly and all those who covenanted to uphold the Biblical Reformation that these Divines proclaimed. The text of the Scottish Metrical
