The

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

* 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.
"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!"

"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."

all are doing a wonderful service by making all these materials so readily

it available."

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!

pray that the Lord will allow you to get these materials into the hands of as

Full
SWRB CD comment from Dr. Moore:
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"!

"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."

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."

Biographical Sketch of R.L.
Dabney
B.B. Warfield called Dabney, "the most conspicuous figure and the leading
theological guide of the Southern Presbyterian Church, the most prolific theological
writer that Church has as yet produced, and for a period of over forty years
one of the most distinguished and probably the most impressive teacher of its
candidates for the ministry." An old school Presbyterian, Dabney served as
chief of staff to General "Stonewall" Jackson. Heavily influenced by
Francis Turretin and John Dick, he was born in 1820 and died in 1898.

Dabney's Review of
Girardeau's Instrumental Music in Public Worship (1889)
In this review Dabney writes, "Dr. Girardeau has defended the old usage of
our church with a moral courage, loyalty to truth, clearness of reasoning and
wealth of learning which should make every true Presbyterian proud of him,
whether he adopts his conclusions or not. The framework of his argument is
this: it begins with that vital truth which no Presbyterian can discard without
a square desertion of our principles. The man who contests this first premise
had better set out at once for Rome: God is to be worshipped only in the ways
appointed in His Word. Every act of public cultus not positively enjoined by
Him is thereby forbidden. Christ and His apostles ordained the musical worship
of the New Dispensation without any sort of musical instrument, enjoining only
the singing of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Hence such instruments are
excluded from Christian worship. Such has been the creed of all churches, and
in all ages, except for the Popish communion after it had reached the nadir of
its corruption at the end of the thirteenth century, and of its prelatic
imitators." Excerpted from The Presbyterian Quarterly (July, 1889, no. 9).

DABNEY, ROBERT LEWIS
Discussions of Robert Lewis
Dabney (3 volumes, 1891)
Warfield called Dabney "the most conspicuous
figure and the leading theological guide of the Southern Presbyterian Church,
the most prolific theological writer that Church has as yet produced." These three
volumes of articles and essays vindicate Warfield's statement. "This is
not a book to be read and returned to the library shelf," states the well
known Baptist minister Al Martin, "rather, as I have found to my own
profit, it ought to be read, digested, and kept close at hand as a guide,
companion and constant prod to us." Dr. Archibald Alexander
called Dabney, "the best teacher of theology in the United States, if not
the world." Freundt notes, "Dabney
championed the doctrines of Calvinism and applied them consistently and
practically to the great issues of his times." Indexed, 1901
pages.

Hodge's Systematic Theology
A contemporary of Hodge, Dabney here kindly acknowledges Dr. Hodge's strengths
and "general orthodoxy," but does not hold back from forcefully
exposing what he considers Hodge's errors and weaknesses. Hodge's Systematic
Theology remains a major work today and his views continue to hold sway among
many, making this review of Dabney's all the more pertinent and important.

Lectures in Systematic
Theology
For the preparation of this volume, Dabney, who A.A. Hodge called "the
best teacher of theology in the United States," was well suited.
"While this exposition and vindication of creedal Christianity is akin to
that of other reformed authors he has a literary force and an ability to
stimulate thought which is distinctive. In his concern to see the truth
understood and lived, in his wrestling with hard points and his mastery of
detail, Dabney is second to none... Comparing Dabney's work to that of Charles
Hodge, Dr. Morton H. Smith has written: 'Hodge gives an excellent, general
statement of the Reformed Faith, yet Dabney adds something beyond the general
treatment of most subjects. When his method of teaching is recalled, of sending
his students to the standard texts on theology (including Hodge), and then
adding his own observation on each doctrine in the class from which his
Theology was derived, it is to be expected that this work would have a certain
freshness to it, and this is just what is found'" (dust jacket).

The Moral Effects of a Free
Justification
The Publisher's Preface to Dabney's Discussions notes that "[m]uch of
Dabney's most valuable and influential literary work first appeared in the form
of separate articles, reviews and sermons printed in various journals."
This article certainly fits the above bill, first appearing in The Southern
Review of April, 1873; being, in part, a review of the Journal and Works of the
Rev. John Wesley. Luther once said that "if the article of justification
is lost, all Christian doctrine is lost at the same time." Thus, one can
hardly think of a subject of greater practical importance. Errors regarding
justification have led whole nations into the darkness and superstition of
Popery, and untold millions of souls into eternal perdition. Dabney here deals
with the false charge of antinomianism sometimes brought against this doctrine
by Romanists and legalists, in their hope of destroying the foundation of true
Christianity. He cites some practical errors by Luther, concerning Luther's views
on sanctification and the law of God, and concludes by proving "that this
doctrine is the best, yea, the only adequate enforcement of true
holiness."

On Dangerous Reading
Dabney says "that under the name of dangerous books," he "means
now to attack particularly the usual kinds of fictitious narratives, novels,
impure sentimental poetry, and biographies, whether accurate or not, of criminal
and degraded characters." He also notes that "[n]ovel reading is the
murder of time," and on that basis alone should be rejected in favor of
wholesome and edifying literature. Many of the principles set forth in this
book can easily be applied to other forms of recreation and amusement --
television, movies, music and radio being the most obvious.

Parental Responsibilities
(1879)
Another important Dabney masterpiece not to be overlooked. Lasting revival and
reformation comes only when Christian parents take their duty as stewards of
God's covenant children seriously. Great encouragement here for parents who
seek to please the LORD. In his day, Archibald Alexander called Dabney
"the best teacher of theology in the United States, if not in the
world." T.C. Johnson, who issued The Life and Letters of Robert Lewis Dabney
in 1903, went further and regarded him as entitled "to the first place
among the theological thinkers and writers of his century." (Publisher's
Preface, Discussions of R.L. Dabney, Vol. 1).

The Public Preaching of Women
Though written in 1879, this piece still remains one of the best shorter
treatments of a matter which is once again receiving much attention in our day.
"This common movement for 'women's rights,' and women's preaching, must be
regarded, then, as simply infidel. It cannot be candidly upheld without
attacking the inspiration and authority of the Scriptures," proclaims
Dabney in prophetic style. Also includes B.B. Warfield's article "Paul on
Women Speaking in Church." In the Publisher's preface to Dabney's
Discussions it is noted that even in Dabney's day much corporate backsliding
was already taking place. And that "with a growing impatience manifested
towards the doctrinal exactness of a formulary of Faith like The Westminster
Confession, it was inevitable that Dabney and his associates should be regarded
as backward-looking and ultra-conservative. His biographer's tribute, that 'he
became a type, not of New England Puritanism, but of Puritanism of the noblest
English age,' had no force for a new generation with a dwindling interest in
any form of Reformed orthodoxy." A sad example of this continued
declension is seen in our day among bodies like the Christian Reformed Church,
who seem eager to lap up the latest egalitarian crumbs that fall from Satan's
table. This book is a Biblically faithful rebuke against all those who would
pervert the God-given order between men, women and their respective callings.
