* 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."

invaluable as a tool of scholarship. So once again I commend you brothers for making
it available."

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."

New Testament Greek for Beginners (1923)
A
standard text for learning Greek. "This
textbook is intended primarily for students who are beginning the study of the
Greek Testament either without any previous acquaintance with the Greek
language or with an acquaintance so imperfect that a renewed course
of elementary instruction is needed... The New Testament usage will here be
presented without any reference to Attic Prose... The book is an instruction
book, and not a descriptive grammar. Since it is
an instruction book, everything in it is made subservient to the imparting of a
reading acquaintance with the language... The effort is made here to
enter upon these explanations which the fifteen years' experience of the author
in teaching New Testament Greek has shown to be essential... The vocabularies
have been limited to words which are very common in the New Testament..."

MACKENZIE, ROBERT
John Brown of Haddington (1918)
This book of 320 pages covers
the life of one of the most important Scottish Presbyterian ministers of the
eighteenth century,
John Brown of Haddington. He was born
in 1722, and by the age of thirteen he was an orphan, living in poverty. He
became a herd-boy, watching sheep to earn his living. However, he had a deep
interest in the things of God, and set out to educate himself in the original
languages of the Bible. He taught himself Greek,
and then went to a book shop to buy a Greek New Testament. The bookseller said
he didn't think Brown could read it, and some University professors who were in
the shop asked Brown about himself. "Then one of them, not unlikely Francis
Pringle, then Professor of Greek, asked the bookseller to bring a Greek New
Testament, and, throwing it down on the counter, said, 'Boy, if you can read
that book, you shall have it for nothing.' He took it up eagerly, read a
passage to the astonishment of those in the shop, and marched out with his
gift, so worthily won, in triumph" (pp. 34-35).
Brown was able to teach
himself not only Greek, but Latin and Hebrew as well. Some young men in the vicinity who were studying for
the ministry became jealous of this poor herd-boy who had little formal
education but was so advanced in the study of languages. Thus a rumour was
spread that John Brown had received his knowledge of the languages from Satan
himself! This rumour spread, and stuck with him for years to come, causing him
much anguish. (Interestingly, one of the fellows who helped spread this slander
was a licentiate who was found guilty of unworthy conduct and deprived of his
licence to preach about the same time that Brown himself was licensed).
Brown subsequently became a pedlar, and then
a soldier fighting against "the Pretender," Prince Charles Stuart,
who unsuccessfully tried to achieve power with the support of Highland troops.
Subsequent to that brief war, Brown became a schoolmaster, and finally a
divinity student in the Secession church. After successful completion of his
studies, he was called to be a pastor in the town of Haddington. It was there that he spent much of his time writing the
books for which he became famous.
Among his better known works are The Self-Interpreting Bible, The Christian Journal, A Dictionary of the Holy Bible, A General History of the Christian Church,
The Psalms of David in Metre (his notes on the
Psalms), The Absurdity and Perfidy
of all Authoritative Toleration of Gross Heresy, Blasphemy, Idolatry, and
Popery in Britain (including his defense of the continuing obligation of the
Solemn League and Covenant), and
The Harmony of Scripture Prophecies.
Brown was a stalwart for many important
points of Biblical truth in his day, but his work is of more value today than
ever before. Read this book to be encouraged about how God can take a poor,
uneducated farm boy, and make him into one of the great spiritual leaders of
his day.

MACLEAN, WILLIAM
Spurgeon: "Free will has carried many souls to hell
but never a soul to heaven."
A Jesuit: "Now we have planted the Sovereign Drug
Arminianism, OUR FOUNDATION IS ARMINIANISM."
Rous: "Arminianism is the very essence of Popery."
Toplady: "The charge on which many of the
Protestant martyrs were burnt at the stake was that they held to the doctrine
of predestination and rejected the Arminian and Popish doctrine of
free-will."
"It is often alleged that Arminianism and Calvinism only
differ in that the former chiefly stresses man's responsibility and the latter
lays all the weight upon Divine Sovereignty. This is not correct. The Arminian
does stress man's responsibility to the exclusion of the sovereignty of God,
and this is a fruitful cause of more than one error. The man, on the other
hand, who stresses the sovereignty of God to the exclusion of man's
responsibility is a hyper-Calvinist and is in error on this aspect of truth
just as surely as the Arminian. The true Calvinist lays stress on both
doctrines as they are unfolded in the inspired and infallible Word of God"
(Foreword).
"All the sects which have sprung up in these
latter times… Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, Pentecostalists,
Mormons, Christadelphians, Cooneyites, etc., have all in common, the fatal lie
of free willism. It is Satan's sovereign drug, which causes the soul to sleep in
delusion, & the end of such delusion is death."

The Cameronian Philosopher: Alexander Shields
The preface notes, "Much literature has been called forth by the
Covenanting movement in Scotland, and my sole reason for adding another volume
to the library of Covenanting history and biography is that one of the greatest
of the Covenanting leaders has been allowed to sink into a quite unmerited
oblivion. Alexander Shields, who was after the execution of James Renwick the
acknowledged leader of the Cameronian remnant, was one of the most picturesque
figures in the Scotland of his day... he lived dangerously and died young; and
it is indeed strange that no biography of this remarkable man has yet been
attempted... He was a man of thought, and he may with some justice be called 'the
Cameronian philosopher,' for in his greatest work, 'A Hind Let Loose,' he
expounded... the philosophy of what might be called Radical Calvinism... He is
worthy to rank with Buchanan and Rutherford among the chief Scottish
protagonists" concerning Calvinistic political theory. Though MacPherson
is exceedingly weak in expressing some points of the hard-edged Cameronianism
of Shields the book is still useful for much of the information that it
contains. It also helps set the context for Shield's masterful and
revolutionary work A Hind Let Loose (available through SWRB for
$39.99) a book easily in the class of Rutherford's famous Lex Rex ($29.95).

MACPHERSON, HECTOR
The Jesuits in History
Paisley
calls the Jesuit's the "Gestapo of Rome."
This easy-reading, 149 page book will show you why. MaCpherson maintains that
every nation that allows Jesuitism on its soil "will one day pay a heavy
penalty." Moreover, he writes that "if
we are to escape the penalty, we must come to realize that a system which
enslaves the individual, fosters superstition, is at war with patriotism and
destroys morality, will, if allowed to flourish unchecked, sooner or later
destroy society."

MANLY, BASIL, Jr.
The Bible Doctrine of Inspiration
All Things Work For Good ($7.96, 2 cassettes) Read by Elder Lyndon Dohms. Many popular misconceptions surround
Romans 8:28: "And we know that all things work together for good to them
that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" -- and
Manton explodes them all in classic Puritan style. He shows that sin does not
do good as sin, but as it is repented of. He gives many reasons why the word
"all" in Romans 8:28 must be limited by the analogy of faith (as
Calvinists rightly limit the word "all" in regard to soteriology when
it is warranted -- or as when a conductor shouts "all aboard," but
only lets those who have tickets on the train). Furthermore, Manton deals with
the misuse of providence and shows why suffering is good for those who are
soft-hearted (or who are softened by it); but he also notes how suffering can
be a curse to those who harden their hearts in such situations. He speaks of
pleasure as "the great sorcerer enchanting mankind" and shows why God
gives some over to their lusts. At one point he counters the reprobate's view
of the problem of evil, answering the question "If there is an
all-powerful God how is there evil?" with "If there is no God how is
there good?" There is much to ponder and meditate upon in these notably
outstanding and practical sermons taken from Manton's Works
(Sermon 37). Though this review may seem to dwell on the polemical value of
this work, Manton's preaching always has much which all the lovers of the Lord
Jesus Christ will find very heartening and encouraging.

institution in 1661. Resigned in 1662, on account of the Act of Uniformity
(which among other wicked, Satanic enactments, its principal terms required a
"declaration of 'unfeigned assent and consent' to everything contained in
the Book of Common Prayer, re-ordination for those not episcopally
ordained" and, most evil of all, "a renunciation of the Solemn League
and Covenant. Knowing that the Puritans would not submit to such terms, the
Authorities framed the Act to secure their expulsion" cf. Sermons of
the Great Ejection by Iain Murray
[Banner of Truth, reprinted 1962]). He was a man of
great learning and extensive reading, of a sound judgement, and had the art
of reducing volumes of divinity into a narrow compass. According to Charnock, he was the best collector of sense
of the age. Dr. Bates says, 'A clear
judgement, rich fancy, strong memory, and happy elocution, met in him, and were
excellently improved by diligent study'" (James Darling, Cyclopaedia
Bibliographica, 1854, pp. 1953-1954).

C.H.
Spurgeon wrote of this set,
"While
commenting upon the One Hundred and Nineteenth Psalm, I was brought into most
intimate communion with Thomas Manton, who has discoursed upon that marvellous
portion of Scripture with great fulness and power. I have come to know him so
well that I could choose him out from among a thousand divines if he were again
to put on his portly form, and display among modern men that countenance
wherein was a 'great mixture of majesty and meekness.' His works occupy
twenty-two volumes in the modern reprint: a mighty mountain of sound theology.
They mostly consist of sermons; but what sermons! For solid, sensible
instruction forcibly delivered, they cannot be surpassed. Manton is not
brilliant, but he is always clear; he is not oratorical, but he is powerful; he
is not striking, but he is deep. There is not a poor discourse in the whole
collection: he is evenly good, constantly excellent. Ministers who do not know
Manton need not wonder if they are themselves unknown." -

Ryle, from the Introduction, also
stated,
"It
only remains for me to express my earnest hope that this new edition of
Manton's works may prove acceptable to the public, and meet with many
purchasers and readers. If any one wants to buy a good specimen of a Puritan
divine, my advice unhesitatingly is, ' Let him buy Manton.'
"These
sermons are the legacy of a powerful preacher devoted to the systematic teaching
and application of God's Word. Whether he is expounding the Lord's Prayer,
Psalm 119, Isaiah 53, James, or Jude, Manton presents us with the best that
English Puritans had to offer in
careful, solid, warmhearted exposition of the Scriptures." - Dr. Joel R.
Beeke
"This valuable set of Puritan
writings only becomes available once every few decades when an adventuresome
publisher decides to invest a great deal of time and money to offer this gift
to Christ's church. It has only been reprinted twice in the last 150 years, not
counting the current edition. Do not fail to obtain a copy of this set, and
think of giving one to your pastor as an act of gratitude for his
faithfulness." - Dr. Don Kistler
