"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
in one package to date... 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) ... more"

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

Resource 1. DEFOE,
DANIEL
Religious Courtship: Being
Historical Discourses, On the Necessity of Marrying Religious Husbands and
Wives Only (1743)
Early in his life Defoe was studying to become a
(dissenting) minister. Later he also wrote the famous novel, Robinson Crusoe. This title, written as a dialogue (of over 400 pages),
demonstrates why husbands and wives should be of the same religion with one
another; and how to bring such ends about. It also contains an
appendix concerning the necessity of taking none but religious servants, and a
proposal for the better managing of servants. See also William Gouge's Of
Domestical Duties
for more information on this topic.

Peter Ramus and the

The author writes that Ramus "freed the human spirit from the dungeon of Aristotle, and
drew it forth from the medieval twilight. He improved all the literary and
expression studies, and helped give mathematics and science a start. It seems
fitting, therefore, to account Peter Ramus a leader in sixteenth-century
reforms..." Graves also notes that Ramus "was probably the foremost French philosopher of his
century, and he stands well among the great educators, effective orators, and
lofty characters of the world's history." Indexed, 238 pages.

SPURGEON, CHARLES H.
Spurgeon's Sovereign Grace
Sermons
It is no novelty, then, that I am
preaching; no new doctrine. I love to proclaim these strong old doctrines, that
are called by nickname Calvinism, but which are surely and verily the revealed
truth of God as it is in Christ Jesus.
By this truth I make a pilgrimage into the past,
and as I go, I see father after father, confessor after confessor, martyr after
martyr, standing up to shake hands with me. Were I a Pelagian, or a believer in
the doctrine of free-will, I should have to walk for centuries all alone. Here
and there a heretic, of no very honorable character, might rise up and call me
brother. But taking these things to be the standard of my faith, I see the land
of the ancients peopled with my brethren; I behold multitudes who confess the
same as I do, and acknowledge that this is the religion of God's own church.
(Spurgeon from the sermon "Election" [$.97, separate booklet
"Election"]).
I have my own private opinion that there is no such thing as preaching Christ and Him
crucified, unless we preach what is nowadays called Calvinism. It is
a nick name to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the Gospel, and nothing else. I
do not believe we can preach the gospel... unless we preach the sovereignty of
God in His dispensation of grace... unless we exalt the electing, unchangeable,
eternal, immutable, conquering love of Jehovah; nor do I think we can preach
the gospel unless we base it upon the special and particular redemption of His
elect and chosen people which Christ wrought out upon the cross; nor can I
comprehend a gospel which lets saints fall away after they are called."
(Spurgeon from his sermon "Christ Crucified" [$.97, separate booklet
"Christ Crucified"]).
Completely retypeset and unedited,
this book (of 188 pages) contains ten stirring Spurgeon sermons focusing on
sovereignty of God, the five points of Calvinism and triumph of Christ as King.
Sermons included are:
1. God's Will and Man's Will
2. High Doctrine
3. The Sure Triumph of the
Crucified One
4. The Perpetuity of the Law of
God
5. The Unconquerable King
6. Human Inability
7. Christ's Work No Failure
8. Christ Crucified
9. The Doctrines of Grace Do Not
Lead to Sin
10. Election.

GAUSSEN, L.
Theopneustia: The Plenary
Inspiration of the Holy Scriptures (1854)
"Theopneustia," borrowed from Paul,
carries with it the idea of divine or verbal inspiration and thus this book defends the Bible as God's inspired word
(dealing with many evasions and objections to this foundational doctrine of
Christianity). Gordon Clark once commented that this book contains
examples of early presuppositional work. 365 pages.

J.A.
The Papacy is the Antichrist (1888)
"The following demonstration is rested on
no narrow basis. Its two postulates, like two posterns, admit us into the
edifice, but they are not its foundations. The whole economy of Redemption,
and the whole course of History are the broad substructions on which the
argument is based and built up; and the author humbly submits that it cannot be
overturned, or the conclusion arrived at set aside, without dislocating and
shaking the structure of both Revelation and Providence. The same line of proof which establishes that Christ is
the promised Messiah, conversely applied, establishes that the Roman system is
the predicted Apostasy. In the life of Christ we behold the converse of what
the Antichrist must be; and in the prophecy of the Antichrist we are shown the
converse of what Christ must be, and was. And when we place the Papacy between
the two, and compare it with each, we find, on the one hand, that it is the
perfect converse of Christ as seen in His life; and, on the other, that it is
the perfect image of the Antichrist, as shown in the prophecy of him. We
conclude, therefore, that if Jesus of Nazareth be the Christ, the Roman Papacy
is the Antichrist" (Wylie's preface, pp. v-vi). 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. For more detailed research on the
Papacy, by the same author, see Wylie's The Papacy: Its History, Dogmas,
Genius, and Prospects
($US19.99 P; $US34.00 HP); which in its day won first prize from the
Evangelical Alliance for essays on Popery. 176 pages.

summary. We will simply say that if you are
interested in any aspect of the Sabbath question you will almost certainly find
much help here. Major heads include:
"Sketches of Sabbatic Controversies and Literature;" "Proofs,
From Reason and Experience, of the Excellence and Divine Origin of the
Sabbath;" "Testimony of Revelation to a Sacred and Perpetual
Sabbath;" "Evidence from History for a Weekly Day of Rest and Worship;"
"The Sabbath Defended Against Opposing Arguments, Theories, and
Schemes;" "The Claims of the Sabbath Practically Enforced."

Dogmatic Theology
(3 volumes, 1888)
Three large volumes, totalling 1879 pages, for the advanced study of Calvinism.
Closing up the labors of forty years of theological research and meditation,
Shedd steps forth as a major proponent of the Augustinio-Calvinistic system of
thought. Drawing heavily from citations in works of the Ancient, Mediaeval and
Reformation periods, and from the English and Continental divines of the 16th
and 17th century, Shedd's work is unsurpassed in many respects. He thoroughly and
comprehensively deals with all the major areas of theology, including the
doctrine of God, Anthropology, Christology, and Eschatology. Also contains a very
useful theological introduction and bibliography.

(of Wamphray), JOHN
An Apologetical Relation of
the Particular Sufferings of the Faithful Ministers and Professors of the
Church of Scotland Since 1660, Wherein Several Questions, Useful for the Time,
Are Discussed, etc., etc.
Brown was ejected in the "great
ejection" of 1662 and thereafter imprisoned for speaking out against
acknowledging the newly-appointed Archbishop of Glasgow. Later released from
prison, upon condition of banishment, he left for the Netherlands in 1663.
During these years he devoted himself to writing. "Early in the year 1666 the Council was staggered by the dissemination
of a little epoch-making book entitled 'An Apologetical Relation'... It was
printed abroad in 1665... This treatise in twenty-three sections deals
trenchantly with every aspect of the dispute, and powerfully maintains the
righteousness of the principles and actions of the Covenanters, even to
justifying their resistance to their unconstitutional governors. Acknowledging
its dangerous import the Council at once proclaimed it seditious, ordered the
hangman to burn it at the Cross, and attached a fine of 2000 pounds Scots to
any possessor of it," notes Hewison (The Covenanters, vol. 2, p.189
[$US29.99 P; $US59.00 HP]). Furthermore, "His (Brown's) Apologetical
Relation, or historic defence of the Church, and exposition and vindication of
its principles, was much disliked by the Prelatic party in Scotland, and found
a place in their Index Espurgatorius" (Carslaw, Exiles of the Covenant, p. 106 [$US8.73 P;
$US22.00 HP]), The Reformed Presbytery adds further historical context to this
famous work when they write, "new measures were
again fallen upon for the oppression, suppression and extirpation of the true
reformed religion, and the professors of it. The council being very diligent
and careful to deprive the Lord's people of every thing which might contribute
to their establishment and confirmation in the righteousness and equity of the
cause and covenant of God for which they suffered, and which tended to expose
their tyranny and treason against God, ordered the famous Mr. Brown's
Apologetical Relation to be burnt in the high street of Edinburgh, on February
14th, 1666... such was their hellish enmity and and spite against our
covenanted reformation, and every thing written in defense thereof, and in
vindication of those that suffered for their adherence to it" (Act,
Declaration and Testimony for the Whole of Our Covenanted Reformation, p. 28 [$US5.99 P;
$US19.00 HP]). It is for works such as these that Johnston (in The Treasury
of the Scottish Covenant, p. 339 [$US19.99 P; $US34.00 HP]) says of Brown that
"(h)e has been regarded (as) the most
important theologian of the second period of Scottish Presbyterianism."
It has been further noted (by A.N.) regarding Brown (and this book in
particular) that "his singular judiciousness
and honesty, in being a faithful witness and wrestler for the purity of
Reformation, appears very obvious in his piece entitled An Apologetical
Relation, wherein he holds forth
the dreadful and heinous nature of national perjury and covenant-breaking, and
convincingly discovers that it is not in the power of the nations to shake
themselves loose of their sacred obligations, either as to the matter or the
manner of them; tho' to the great shame and unspeakable loss of these nations,
the bulk and body of them have not only once or twice discovered their contempt
in an open course of backsliding upwards of these hundred years past
(See Apologetical Relation pages 328, 343. History of the Indulgence, page 132)" (cited
in the preface to Brown's Exposition of the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to
the Romans,
p. v [$US24.99 P; $US34.00 HP]). To understand the nature of the conflagration
emanating from the pits of hell, to suppress the knowledge of the battle for
Christ's Crown and Covenant, the history of this fight (which included the
sufferings of many faithful martyrs), and why a new and similar struggle is
ensuing, some 331 years after the initial writing of this book, pick up this
indispensable weapon (extracted from the Presbyterian Armoury, vol. 3), and
"ride to the sound of the gun." Brown
deals with "the lawfulness of defensive wars," the divine right of
church government, the divine right of kings (and related political questions),
the "Supreme Magistrate's Power in Church Matters," "the Rise,
Reign and Ruin of the Former Prelates in Scotland," and much, much more!

BANNERMAN, JAMES
Church of Christ: A Treatise
on the Nature, Powers, Ordinances, Discipline, and Government of the Christian
Church (1869)
Two large volumes. A classic on the Church
and worship!
This is one of the most extensive studies of its kind ever compiled. Nothing
compares to it on this subject. Regarding these gems, Iain
Murray has stated, "In our day, however
greatly we need an evangelical revival, we need more than that. We need another
Reformation, a movement which will go 'to the root of the mischief' and bring
back the visible church to the pattern of God's Word in her government,
ordinances and ministry. The republication of Bannerman is a step in that
direction... For those who wish to study the doctrine of the Church in its
several aspects as it was held by the majority of the Reformers, Puritans,
Covenanters and leaders of 'The Third Reformation,' it will prove an invaluable
textbook." Volume one deals
with the nature and power of the church, containing a lengthy explanation of
the Church in its relation to the state (which is one of the best treatments of
this topic to be found anywhere!). From there, it deals with matters in regard
to which church power is exercised (i.e. in regard to doctrine, ordinances, the
instrumentality and time of public worship -- with a discussion of holy days,
Independency, and confessions). Volume two
continues where volume one left off, providing a lengthy section on the
sacraments, covering the parties in whom the right to exercise church power is
vested, examining crucial points concerning Christian liberty, comparing the
Popish, Prelatic, Independent, Congregational and Presbyterian systems, etc. Nine appendices
deal with a wide range of practical topics including union between churches,
church/state relations, ordination, and valuable notes on the literature
related to this subject. If you are interested in Church issues, you won't find a
better set.

book was first published in 1724, and tells of Gavin's
experiences in the late 1600s and early 1700s. In the preface Gavin
notes that he feared for his life upon the publication of the book, as "the woman
drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of
Jesus" (Rev. 17:6) continued to fill her ordained role in history, as a
persecuting menace to the witnesses for God's truth. This
book contains a detail exhibition of the harlotries of Rome -- from a former
insider -- as well as much information that is no longer readily available on
the wickedness of the man of sin "Who opposeth and exalteth
himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God
sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (2 Thes. 2:4).

J.W.
Hephzibah Beulah. Our
Covenants the National and Solemn League; and Covenanting by the Reformed
Presbyterian Synod in America: Considered (1872)
A very useful easy-to-read introductory work to the topics it deals
with. General Scriptural principles upon which this book is based are:
1. Departure from former laudable attainments, is a great evil, severely threatened
in the Holy Scriptures; and that for which every one, who is guilty, must be
accountable to the Righteous Judge of all the earth.
2. They who consent
unto the unrighteous deeds of others, are chargeable with guilt, as
well as the principal actors.
3. Societies, or
individuals, having once publicly and solemnly vowed unto the Most High God;
and still, after the strictest enquiry, remain satisfied in their own mind,
that their vows were scriptural; should seriously endeavor to act up to the
true spirit and intention of these vows; and no
power upon earth, nor any class of men, whether majority or minority, in a
nation, can ever possibly dissolve the obligation.
Chapters include: The National Covenant and
Solemn League and Covenant reviewed; Their Binding Obligations Shown; The
Possibility That Adherence to them May Be Professed, While They are Virtually

1871; Is It a Renovation or a New Covenant?; The Covenant Does Not Contain All
