am continually amazed at the depth and breadth of information in both

* 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."

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

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."

"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!

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."

Another Look at Heidegger's
Nazism (1994)
Contains interesting observations on the corporate identity of civil bodies (moral
person), the place of the intellectual class (responsibility) and how the fear
of characterizing events in terms of right and wrong (testimony) creates a
moral vacuum which opens the door to tyranny. The idolatrous, humanistic
notions of the Nazi's are also shown to be compatible with Heidegger's
philosophy (and his actions).

Baptists and Infant Baptism
(1996)
Wagner was converted in a fundamental Baptist church and is well acquainted
with the Baptist views of baptism. Here he has produced a peaceable plea to
those who still hold the views he once embraced. In it he deals with the
meaning, subjects and mode of baptism; tracing the steps by which he became
convinced of the Apostolic/Reformation position. This is an easy to read
introduction to this important topic.

The Declaration of
Repudiation: A Public Testimony Against Modern North American Evangelicalism
(1996)
Wagner shows how modern Evangelicals have been swallowed up by the beast
(civilly and ecclesiastically -- and especially in regard to doctrine) in that
they now deny the most important biblical attainments of the Protestant
Reformation. Arminianism (the decisionalistic free-will heresy) and man-made
innovations in worship are rampant. If the Reformers were around today they
would testify, as Wagner does, against modern evangelicalism -- in that the
modern evangelicals have adopted more of the basic tenets of Rome than of the
Reformation. "(T)he Scriptural theological attainments of the Reformation
have been abandoned by modern North American Evangelicalism; and to make
matters worse, an unscriptural disdain for doctrine has immunized many
evangelicals from a recovery of Reformation truth," states Wagner. This
book seeks to repudiate and remedy the deformation of evangelicalism.

The End of Canada: Divergent
Political Cultures and Identities as Centrifugal Forces (1996)
Demonstrates how a lack of cultural and ethical uniformity inevitably leads to
division. Looks at the Quebec situation, the Aboriginal political culture and
the Reform party. The intolerance of the "tolerationists" -- that is,
their intolerance of fundamentalist groups (other than themselves) -- is also
touched on.

Paleopresbyterianism Versus
Neopresbyterianism (1996)
Defines the major differences between "paleo" or old Presbyterianism
(the position held at the Westminster Assembly, 1648) and "neo" or
new (modern) Presbyterianism. Maintains and proves that the two major
differences are found in the form of subscription (whether complete, as with
the "paleo's," or loose [i.e. allowing for scruples], as with the
"neo's") to the Westminster standards and in whether or not the
Solemn League and Covenant is thought to be binding today (in its moral
equity). Wagner also demonstrates how the neopresbyterians have turned away
from the original Presbyterian position. The implications of this introductory
booklet are far reaching and revolutionary and could easily shake the prevalent
neopresbyterian establishment (PCA, OPC, etc.) to its very core.

WAGNER, Dr. MICHAEL G.
A Presbyterian Political
Manifesto: Presbyterianism and Civil Government (1995)
Using citations from great Presbyterians of the
past such as Rutherfurd, Gillespie and Knox, and the thoughts of modern day
Reformers and Reconstructionists, Wagner demonstrates how the impossibility of
neutrality in civil matters leads inescapably to established religion. He then
builds the Biblical case for establishmentarianism and deals with some of the
hard questions regarding religious liberty and toleration (in such a state).
He also shows how the Westminster Confession of
Faith should be the doctrinal basis for the
state, as well as the church (as it is a faithful summary of biblical
teaching). Contains a great bibliography. This is the best short
introduction dealing with this subject. Wagner has completed his Doctorate in
political science at a major Canadian University.

Private Versus Public
Education: The Alberta Debate (1995)
Though focusing on Alberta, the principles dealt with in this book can be
applied throughout Canada, and in any other nations where home/private
education is taking place. Describes the historical background and major
episodes in this debate and then assesses the three major arguments made
against private schools. Concludes by showing the superiority of private
education and exposing the self serving nature of the public educator's agenda.
This is Wagner's Master's Thesis.

Up From Reconstructionism;
or, A Short History of the Puritan Reformed Church of Edmonton (1996)
Wagner, who has a PhD in political science, traces the theological journey of
the PRC of Edmonton -- from a Reconstructionist congregation to its present
adoption of the covenanted attainments of the second Reformation. He notes
where and why Reconstruction has been helpful to the PRC and also shows where
and why it has been a hindrance to further Reformation. The paradigms Wagner
deals with (in his characteristically irenic style) should be familiar to most
Reformed Christians -- making this book an exceedingly helpful introduction to
some much larger and more complex areas of thought. The major differences
between the testimony of the Reformers (of the 16th and 17th centuries) and the
testimony of the modern Reconstructionists is laid out and contrasted in an
easy to understand format. Having been a Reconstructionist, Wagner has insights
others dealing with Reconstructionism (from the outside) have completely
missed. Furthermore, many modern Reconstructionist critiques are miserably
flawed and full of heresy and poor scholarship themselves -- thus they lack
credibility among those who seek a fair assessment of Christian Reconstruction.
This can not be said of this book and we hope that it will encourage
Reconstructionists and non-Reconstructionists alike to return to the old paths
of the Apostles and our Presbyterian and Reformed forefathers. Books like this
(and his previous works) place Wagner among a growing body of young authors,
all well studied in theology and history, who are now calling for a third
Reformation.

Heresies of Westcott and
Hort: As Seen In Their Own Writings (1979)
"Regardless of what side of the Westcott and Hort textual criticism of the
traditional Greek text which underlies our Authorized (King James) version of
1611, I believe it is of the utmost importance to see once and for all that the
leaders in the textual revolution which unseated the traditional received Greek
text from its place of undisputed prominence for over 15 centuries, were not,
as most of the evangelical and fundamentalist world today believes, fundamentalists,
or even orthodox in many of their beliefs. It is my personal belief that this
heterodoxy on their part blinded their intellects, and prejudiced them
adversely and unfairly in the textual theories of the Greek New Testament"
writes Waite. Chapter one includes background information to this debate, with
the following chapters dealing with the various theological heresies of
Westcott and Hort. In these chapters we find numerous heresies involving the
person and work of Christ, the doctrine of salvation (including proof that
Westcott embraced Universalism and various other errors on the atonement) and
errors on the doctrines of Inspiration and Inerrancy (plus much more). Though
some of Waite's own Fundamentalist/Premillennial confusion is included in this
book, there is much research and information that can be gleaned from this
title which is useful. So chew up the meat and spit out the bones. 42 pages.

Scottish Church History
WALKER, PATRICK
(Compiler)
Biographia Presbyteriana (2 volumes, 1827
edition)
Volume
one covers
the lives and remarkable testimonies of Alexander Peden (also know as Peden the Prophet, because of the extraordinary [and always accurate]
prophecies that God gave him throughout his life), John Semple, John
Welwoold and Richard Cameron. Volume two
covers the lives of Donald Cargill, Walter Smith, and James Renwick. Walker's
advantage in writing of these men, as Hay Fleming points out, can be seen in
that
he lived in the times of which he wrote, that he personally knew many of the
Covenanters and martyrs of whom he wrote, and that he was himself a shrewd
observer and was endowed with a tenacious memory.
Walker
himself had endured imprisonment and torture for Christ's Covenanted cause and Burton
writes that his "unadorned descriptions of suffering and heroism convey a
lesson to the heart which no genius or learning could strengthen."
Pertaining
to Peden's prophetic gifts, note the following two testimonies (and Walker includes a
great number of similar accounts in this book),
In
the year 1689, after the murdering of Mr. Cameron, and these Worthies with him
at Airdsmoss, he (Peden--RB) was near Machline in the Shire of Air. One Robert
Brown of Crosshouse, who lived near the Newmills, and one Hugh Pinaneve Factor
to the Earl of Lowdon, stabled their horse in that house where he was, and went
to a fair in Machline: And in the afternoon, when they came to take their
horse, they got a drink; and in the time of it, the said Hugh, a wicked wretch
both in principle and practice, brake out in railing against the sufferers
(i.e. the faithful Covenanters--RB), particularly against Mr. Cameron. Mr.
Peden being in another room, over-hearing all, was so grieved, that he came to
the Chamber-door, and said to the said Hugh, Sir,
hold your peace; ere Twelve a clock you shall know what for a man Mr. Cameron
was; God shall punish that blasphemous mouth and cursed tongue of yours, in
such a manner as shall be astonishing and affrighting to all that shall see you;
and shall set you up as a beacon to all railing Rabshakehs. Robert Brown, knowing Mr. Peden, hasted to his
horse, being persuaded that Mr. Peden's words would not fall to the ground, and
fearing that some mischief might befall him for being in the said Hugh's
company. They rode hard home; Robert went to his own house, and Hugh to the
Earl's house; and casting off his boots, he was
struck with such sickness and pain through his body, with his mouth so wide,
and his tongue hanging so far out in a fearful manner, they sent for the said
Robert, being used to take blood: he got some blood of him, but all in vain; he
died before midnight. The said Robert, an old man, told me this
passage, when in prison together (p. 51).
"...the
same night after this discourse, while about family worship, about ten or
eleven of the clock, explaining the portion of Scripture he (Peden--RB) read,
he suddenly halted, and hearkened, and said three times over, 'What's this I hear?' and hearkened again a little time,
and clapt his hands and said, 'I hear a dead shot at the throne of Britain; let
him go yonder, he has been a black sight to these lands, especially to poor
Scotland; we're well quit of him; there has been many a wasted prayer wearied
on him.' And it was concluded by all, the same hour, in the same night, that
unhappy man Charles the II died. I had this account from John
Muirhead and others, who were present, and confirmed in the truth of them by
some worthy Christians, when I was in Ireland" (p. 56).
There
are few things like the life stories of faithful Christians who have been
persecuted and even martyred for faithfulness to the whole counsel of God to
stir the soul to greater diligence and zeal in all areas of holiness. Indexed, over 700 pages.
