"I have been systematically working through
reading the... 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

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

RUTHERFORD, SAMUEL
Christ Dying, and Drawing
Sinners to Himself (1647, 1727 edition)
The title continues (providing a nice summary
for this rare valuable work): "Or, A Survey
of our Saviour in His Soul-Suffering, His Loveliness in his Death, and the
Efficacy thereof. In Which Some Cases of Soul-trouble in weak Believers,
Grounds of Submission under the Absence of Christ, with the Flowings and
Heightenings of free Grace, are opened. Delivered in Sermons on the Gospel
according to John, Chap. xii. ver. 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33. Where are also
interjected some necessary Digressions, for the Times, touching divers Errors
of Antinomians; and a short Vindication of the Doctrine of Protestants, from
the Arminian pretended Universality of Christ's Dying for All and every One of
Mankind; the moral and feigned Way of irresistable Conversion of Sinners; and
what Faith is required of all within the visible Church, for the Want whereof,
many are condemned." The Dictionary of Scottish Church
History and Theology
says of this work, "Rutherford's writings
during the London years provide a significant commentary of the theology of the
Westminster Confession and Catechisms. In Christ Dying and Drawing Sinners
to Himself Rutherford elaborately
scrutinizes the Antinomian notion that the law has no obligation for the
Christian" (p. 736). This book
contains an extensive index, is 760 pages in length and is an excellent example
of sound and faithful Covenanter preaching, balancing both faith (doctrine) and
manners (practice). Classic Rutherford!

RUTHERFORD, SAMUEL
The Divine Right of Church
Government and Excommunication: A Peaceable Dispute for the Perfection of the
Holy Scripture in Point of Ceremonies and Church Government in which the
Removal of the Service Book is Justified. The Six Books of Erastus
Against Excommunication are Examined; with a Vindication of the Eminent Divine
Theodore Beza Against the Aspersions of Erastus, The Arguments of Mr. William
Pryn, Richard Hooker, Dr. Morton... and the Doctors of Aberdeen; Touching
Will-Worship, Ceremonies, Imagery, Idolatry, Things Indifferent, An Ambulatory
Government; The Due and Just Power of the Magistrate in Matters of Religion,
and the Arguments of Mr. Pryn, in so Far as they Side with Erastus, are Moderately
Discussed.
(Facsimile, 1646, also contains: "Scandal and Christian
Libertie")
Over 750 pages which Walker says "contains the amplest exposition and vindication of our old
ecclesiastical principles." Rutherfurd
here gives a classic defense of Presbyterianism, touching on both church
government and "the due and just power of the Magistrate in matters of
Religion." Regarding worship, he
touches on imagery, idolatry, things indifferent, ceremonies and will worship. Sherman
Isbell describes this book as follows: "Rutherford asserts that there is
delineated in the NT a form of Church government by elders and Presbyteries
which is of permanent obligation; more-over, that discipline and suspension
from the sacraments are vested with church officers rather than with the
Christian civil magistrate. The book also expounds
the Westminster Assembly's principle that the mode of acceptable worship is
regulated by the will of Christ as king speaking in the Scriptures; the Church is
not at liberty to alter or invent anything in worship or government which goes
beyond the pattern in God's Word. Rutherford's
writings during the London years provide a significant commentary on the
theology of the Westminster Confession and Catechisms" (Dictionary
of Scottish Church History and Theology, pp. 735-36). Innes notes that Rutherford had
"no hesitation in including among matters of faith -- first, fundamental
points; second, superstructions built upon the fundamentals; third, circa
fundamentalia,
things about matters of faith;" making this an important look at the
teaching surrounding the Scottish view of the visible church, close communion,
etc. An exceedingly rare gem by this celebrated Presbyterian divine and
Scottish commissioner to the famous Westminster Assembly.

RUTHERFORD, SAMUEL
The Due Right of Presbyteries
or a Peaceable Plea for the Government of the Church of Scotland... (1644)
Almost 800 pages long, Rutherfurd
here deals with church membership, separation from the visible church, the
civil magistrate and religion, communion among churches, the errors of the
independents (specifically in New England) and much more. This could be considered the Lex Rex of church
government -- another exceedingly rare masterpiece of
Presbyterianism! Characterized by Walker as sweeping "over a wider field
than most. Most essential points which Gillespie has barely touched,
Rutherfurd carefully considers; as, for instance, the nature of the visible
church as such, and its constituent elements. Even in the Erastian controversy
he is a necessary supplement to his great contemporary. It is something to
me altogether amazing, the mass of thinking about Church questions you have in
those writings."
Bannerman, in his Church of Christ calls this a "very learned and elaborate
treatise." Here is a sample of Mr. Rutherford's writing:
"A private subtraction and separation from the Ministry of a known wolf
and seducer,... this the Law of nature will warrant... as Parker saith from
Saravia, 'it is lawful to use that blameless and just defence, if the bad church-guide
cannot be deposed.' So the son may save himself by a just defence in fleeing
from his mad father, or his distracted friend coming to kill him. Now this
defence is not an authoritative act, nor [a] judicial act of authority, but a
natural act that is common to any private person, yea to all without the true
Church as well as within to take that care in extreme necessity, for the safety
of their souls, that they would do for the safety of their bodies" (1642,
cited in The Original Covenanter and Contending Witness magazine
[www.covenanter.org]).

RUTHERFORD, SAMUEL
The Excellence and Worth of
the Gospel
(c. 1640)
This sermon is read by elder Lyndon Dohms (1998)
and taken from the book Quaint Sermons of Samuel Rutherford (see below). It
proclaims the power of the gospel for pulling down all strongholds raised
against it. It exhibits God's sovereignty while
blasting the Arminian heresy and toppling its vaunted idol of "free
will." It demonstrates how the gospel is a love letter from God to His
elect and how the Lord's arrows always hit their mark (particular redemption,
irresistible grace, etc.). Rutherford
also delineates the marks by which one can be assured that a work of grace has
been begun in the heart by God. Hypocrisy is also exposed in the
most pointed manner. The place of the law and the gospel in salvation are
given. True repentance is contrasted with false repentance, as is true
assurance with false assurance, plus much more. A
very practical sermon from one of the greatest preachers and theologians of all
time, exhibiting why Rutherford is considered a protesting Covenanter of the
first rank.
