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)

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.

For more details or further explanation regarding our Puritan and Reformation Hard Drive SALE PRICE, and extra prepublication discounts, please call us at 780-450-3730 or email swrb@swrb.com 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.

A comment on SWRB's previous two, much smaller, CD sets (of 62 total CDs) follows ...

"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. To keep up with all the latest information you may want to join our email list by emailing either swrb@swrb.com or add@swrb.com and asking to be added to our email list. Your email address will be kept private and you may easily leave the list at any time by asking to be removed. Our email list is also a double opt-in email list, so after your request to be added we will email you to confirm you request and your email address.

A comment on SWRB's previous two, much smaller, CD sets (of 62 total CDs) follows ...

"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?

 

A comment on SWRB's previous two, much smaller, CD sets (of 62 total CDs) follows ...

"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).

 

Your Servant in Christ (for the Third Reformation),

More select comments on SWRB's previous two, much smaller, CD sets (of 62 total CDs) follow ...

"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. "

"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.

"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 Christian Observer News Service

"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!"

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).

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)!

"Your 62 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."

- Joel R. Beeke, President of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary


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.

- D.G., Mansfield, OH (USA)


"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 purchase of (SWRB's) CD's is proving to be one of the wisest investments that I have ever made. They are much more than I expected!! I am having a wonderful time reading and studying."

- TC, Internet Customer (USA).


"The greatest collection of classic Reformation resources on one CD set ever!"

"In reading this mornings mailing I noticed that you also do the Reformation Bookshelf CD's so I went to your web site to see what was out -- I was in ecstasy!!!"

- Missionary working in Hatyai, Southern Thailand


"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!"

- Phillip J. Long
Associate Prof. of New Testament
Grace Bible College
Grand Rapids, MI 49509


"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.

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."

- Email from Colorado


"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."

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"!

- Dr Jonathan D. Moore, Cambridge, UK.
(Scholar of 16th and 17th century Calvinistic literature.)


"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."

- Yours for the faith,
Pastor David Owen Filson
Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church (PCA), Nashville, TN


"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."

- Email from 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."

In Christ,
Pastor Andrew Underhile

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).

 

The Works of John Knox (Vol. 4)

A Narrative of the Proceedings and troubles of the English congregation at Frankfurt on the Maine

A Narrative by Knox of the proceedings of the English congregation at Frankfurt

A Letter to the Queen Dowager Regent of Scotland

An Exposition upon Matt 4 concerning the temptation of Christ in the wilderness

Answers to some questions concerning baptism, etc

A letter of wholesome counsel addressed to his brethren in 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.

Titled, Reformation, 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!

The Works of John Knox (Vol. 5)

A Letter to John Knox at Basel (1558)

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.

An Answer to a great number of blasphemous cavillations written by an Anabaptist, and adversary to God's eternal predestination

The Preface

Thus beginneth the book of the adversaries of God's eternal predestination

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 National Repentance and Reformation in the photocopy edition.

Written by Knox and four others, 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.

An Answer to a letter written by James Tyrie, a Scottish Jesuit

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, JOHN

John 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).

Subsequent to this sermon, his conscience stinging, the King attempted to forbid Knox from preaching. Knox, of course, refused the King's command, as "he had spoken nothing but according to his text." An extract from Knox's "Admonition to the People of England" is subjoined to the final sermon in this collection. 64 pages.

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.

Biographia Scoticana: or, A Brief Historical Account of the Lives, Characters, and Memorable Transactions of the Most Eminent Scots Worthies (known in our day as Scots Worthies) (Second edition, corrected and enlarged, 1781).

Most commonly known as "Scots Worthies," this edition contains Howie's footnotes (defending the Covenanters) and Howie's appendix titled "The Judgment and Justice of God" (which chronicles God's judgments upon Reformation apostates and those who persecuted the Covenanters). It is the only edition in print which contains both these sections intended for publication by the author (as later editors often removed either one or both of these parts of this book). Biographia Scoticana is one of our best history books (over 700 pages), covering all of the major Scottish Reformers.

The True History of the Church of Scotland, From the Beginning of the Reformation, unto the end of the Reigne of King James VI. Wherein, besides some touches of the civil state and alteration of affairs, in their due order, there 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.

A. Free Bonus Books and Articles on the Sovereignty of God Over Doctrine, Practice, and Testimony (In the Westminster Standards, Covenants, etc. -- and Among the Faithful Martyrs of Christ)

 

1. 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 are the following documents, which are usually bound together with the Westminster Confession of Faith:

 

a. The Solemn League and Covenant

b. The Confession of Faith of the Kirk of Scotland: Or, The National Covenant

c. The Westminster Shorter Catechism (with full Scripture references)

d. The Westminster Larger Catechism (with full Scripture references)

6. Andrew Symington - Religious Principles of the Scottish Martyrs

Sets forth the major Scriptural truths which the Scottish Presbyterians/Covenanters died for. Also introduces some of the reasons why these Scriptural teachings were held in such high esteem; showing why multitudes died a martyr's death rather than denying Christ before men in relinquishing the precious truths.

 

7. Reformed Presbytery - A Short Vindication of Our Covenanted Reformation

 

8. Greg Barrow - The Covenanted Reformation Defended (1998)

An unsurpassed work, citing original source documents from the Westminster Divines (and the Covenanted Reformation that gave us the Westminster Standards), Calvin's Geneva, and a broad range of other classic Reformation sources, documenting what true biblical Reformation is -- as opposed to the almost complete defection from biblical Reformation attainments among modern Presbyterian and Reformed churches in our day. Originally written in the context of a debate with neopresbyterian Richard [Dick] Bacon. (http://www.swrb.com/newslett/FREEBOOK/GBarrow.htm). Must reading for anyone who is serious about the truth of Scripture as formulated by some of the most faithful Christians thus far in history.

Includes "Nine particulars to be remembered for the right deducing and stating the matter of fact. - The grounds and reasons of such an ordinance and appointment may be eleven.. - Four objections answered. - How this ordinance would not be tyranny over men's consciences. - The covenant is no temporary obligation.. - If such an ordinance to the army be scandalum acceptum, then the not making of it is scandalum datum.

14. The Athanasian Creed

 

15. The Definition of the Council of Chalcedon (451)

 

16. Larry Birger - The Biblical and Logical Necessity of Uninspired Creeds

"This famous Synod of Dordt (1618-19) was held in order to settle a serious controversy in the Dutch churches initiated by the rise of Arminianism... Although this was a national synod of the Reformed churches of the Netherlands, it had an international character, since it was composed not only of Dutch delegates but also of twenty-six delegates from eight foreign countries... In the Canons the Synod of Dordt rejected the Arminian views and set forth the Reformed doctrine on unconditional election, limited atonement, total depravity, irresistible grace, and the perseverance of saints (later known as TULIP)."

 

C. Free Bonus Books and Articles on the Sovereignty of God in Worship (The Regulative Principle of Worship, Close Communion, Against Occasional Hearing and for Biblical Separation, etc.)

 

1. John Calvin - On Shunning the Unlawful Rites of the Ungodly and Preserving the Purity of the Christian Religion (1537)

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).

2. Psalter by Francis Rouse, the Westminster Divines, and the Scottish General Assembly (from 1646-1650) Annotations by John Brown (of Haddington) - 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 (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!

9. 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.

 

10. Reg Barrow - Worship: The Regulative Principle of Worship in History

 

11. Reg Barrow - Psalm Singing in Scripture & History

Discusses Reformed worship-song in the context of the regulative principle of worship [Sola Scriptura in Worship]. Defends exclusive Psalmody from Scripture and the writings and testimony of the most prominent Reformers.

 

12. David Steele - Martin Luther and Psalm Singing

Did Luther and the Reformation Lutherans practice exclusive Psalmody? What about Luther's hymns? Where and when were they used? ANSWERS HERE!

 

13. John Calvin and John Girardeau - Instrumental Music in Public Worship: The Views of John Calvin, the Westminster Assembly, Many English Puritans, the Scottish Church, the churches of Holland in the Synods of the Reformed Dutch Church (soon after the Reformation), Zwingle, Spurgeon, et al.

"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 and powerful protest against the employment of instruments in public worship by the Presbyterian Church (or any other church seeking to remain faithful to Scripture)" adapted from Instrumental Music in the Public Worship of the Church by John L. Girardeau.

(August 5, 2002).

 

16. Reg Barrow - Calvin, Close Communion, and the Coming Reformation (a book review of Alexander and Rufus... by John Anderson [1862])

Shows how Calvin practiced close communion and covenanting -- and how a biblical view of these ordinances is intended to purify the individual, church, and state. 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 law of God [and are unrepentant] should be barred from the Lord's table -- as a corrective measure ordained of God for their recovery. This is Reformation History Notes number two.

1. Jonathan Edwards - The Work of Redemption, Period III

A most remarkable glimpse into the mind of President Edwards. He boldly proclaims the glorious future of Christ's Kingdom on earth BEFORE the return of Christ. Excerpted by CRTA from: The Works of Jonathan Edwards as published on CD-ROM by Ages Software (and used by SWRB by permission of Ages Software).

 

2. 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.

 

3. J.A. Wylie - The Papacy is the Antichrist.

This book contains the classic teaching of the Protestant Reformation regarding Antichrist (an integral part of that Reformation, we might add -- as all the Reformed creeds and confessions attest). The easy reading format and style make this book an ideal introduction to this topic. 1888.

 

4. Patrick Fairbairn - Is Popery the Antichrist? or The Tendency of Prophecy to Describe Things According to the Reality, Rather that the Appearance or Profession

Classic Protestant Historicism demonstrating why both futurism and preterism are hermeneutically flawed.

 

5. Francis Nigel Lee - Islam in the Bible (2000)

Many Reformers considered the Papacy "the great Western Antichrist," and Islam "the great Eastern Antichrist." Read why in this book! Classic Protestant eschatology (Historicism) on what Bible prophecy teaches about the rise and fall of Islam -- and even what to expect in the future!

 

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.

 

7. 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.

 

8. Francis Nigel Lee - The Anti-Preterist Historicism of John Calvin and the Westminster Standards (2000)

An overview of classic Protestant eschatology (historicism) focusing on John Calvin and the Westminster Standards (as contrasted with the Jesuit-inspired Preterist view). 14 pages.

4. The Westminster Shorter Catechism (with full Scripture references).

Concerning the Westminster Shorter Catechism, Mitchell writes,"...it is a thoroughly Calvinistic and Puritan catechism, the ripest 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."

11. Reg Barrow - Godless Public Education & Sin

The primacy of godliness in education is here contrasted with the sinfulness of turning young children over to the pagans and Christ-haters for education. Shows how Christians violate the first commandment when they send the children that God has given them stewardship over to His enemies for "training."

A clear and concise summary of the biblical doctrine of the moral person (i.e. that God regards churches and nations as moral entities separate from the individual members of which they are composed). No Christian can afford not to understand this vital teaching! In many ways this is a crux of the Covenanter position, underlying as it does the issues of separation from backslidden or anti-Christian civil and church governments, the binding nature of lawful Covenants on posterity, eschatology, etc.

 

6. John Brown (of Wamphray) - Corporate Sanctification: Holding Fast the Attainments of Reformation

An overview of the Covenanter doctrine of reformation attainments by one of the great Covenanter theologians. Helpful in dispelling false charges of Anabaptism and perfectionism laid at the feet of faithful Covenanters by schismatics. John Brown was one of Samuel Rutherford's best students.

REFORMATION BIBLES

 

KING JAMES BIBLE (1672) WITH THE 1599 GENEVA BIBLE NOTES

(Contains almost 1000, 8.5 X 11 inch, pages)

The best Reformation 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) pages with notes on the complete Bible (Old & New Testaments) -- making 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)."

SHIELDS, ALEXANDER

A Hind Let Loose or An Historical Representation of the Testimonies of the Church of Scotland for the Interest of Christ with the True State thereof in all its Periods. Together with a Vindication of the Present Testimony Against Popish, Prelatical, and Malignant Enemies of that Church, as it is now Stated, for the Prerogatives of Christ, Privileges of the Church, and Liberties of Mankind; and Sealed by the Sufferings of a Reproached Remnant of Presbyterians there, Witnessing Against the Corruptions of the Time: Wherein Several Controversies of Greatest Consequence are Enquired into, and in Some Measure Cleared; Concerning Hearing of the Curates, Owning of the Present Tyranny, Taking of Ensnaring Oaths and Bonds, Frequenting of Field-Meetings, Defensive Resistance of Tyrannical Violence, with Several Other Subordinate Questions Useful for these Times (1687, 1797 edition)

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 English Puritan John Owen." Over 750 pages.

 

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.

SHIELDS, ALEXANDER

The Life and Death of that Eminently Pious, Free, and Faithful Minister and Martyr of Jesus Christ, Mr. James Renwick: With a Vindication of the Heads of His Dying Testimony (1806, second edition)

 

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, or The Wrestlings of the Church of Scotland for the Kingdom of Christ, From the 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..." (cited in Johnston, Treasury of the Scottish Covenant, pp. 375-367). A rare old gem of 559 pages.

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 ).
