The following books are also

The Meaning and Mode of
Baptism
Some of the propositions set forth in chapter 28 of the Westminster Confession
of Faith (Of Baptism) are as follows:
"III.
Dipping of the person into the water is not necessary; but baptism is rightly
administered by pouring or sprinkling water upon the person. IV. Not only those
that do actually profess faith in and obedience unto Christ, but also the
infants of one or both believing parents are to be baptized. V. Although it be
a great sin to contemn or neglect this ordinance, yet grace and salvation are
not so inseparably annexed unto it as that no person can be regenerated or
saved without it, or that all that are baptized are undoubtedly regenerated.
VI. The efficacy of baptism is not tied to that moment of time wherein it is
administered; yet, notwithstanding, by the right use of this ordinance the
grace promised is not only offered, but really exhibited and conferred by the
Holy Ghost, to such (whether of age or infants) as that grace belongeth unto,
according to the counsel of God's own will, in his appointed time. VII. The
sacrament of Baptism is but once to be administered to any person."
In this book Adams defends these
positions in an easy to read and incisive manner. This is without a doubt the
best short book on
this topic, as it deals with all the major arguments concerning both the meaning
and the mode of baptism. It has been priced for the widest possible
distribution.

DALE,
JAMES W.
BAPTIZO (in the
4 volumes listed below)
Jerry Smith says that these
volumes are "calculated to utterly shatter the widespread unfounded
contemporary mythology surrounding the meaning and usage of the original Greek
words underlying our English word baptism. Dale's original five volumes (bound
in four) constitute the most massive, thorough, accurate, and authoritative
study ever made of this word, examining all the known occurrences of baptizo. Absolutely a must reading on this
controversial subject! Dale writes in a clear and refreshingly
irenic spirit... which will delight and inform scholar, student, and
layman alike." Dale spent twenty years writing this study concerning
the meaning and mode of baptism.
He interacts with all the relevant literature on the subject up to his time,
the first volume appearing in 1867 and the last in 1874. J.H. Thayer in his entry in his Greek-English Lexicon of the New
Testament (Zondervan, 1962), says of this study: "If I were to utter my
first impression, I should break out in unfeigned admiration."
Moreover, Thayer noted, concerning Classic Baptism, that "the theory that Baptizo expresses
a definite act, 'mode and nothing but mode,' is shown to be pitiably helpless
when applied to 'all the Greek literature.'" Dale definitely has had the
last word on this subject thus far in history. You can save yourself a lot
of time and trouble regarding Baptism and its meaning by picking up these
unrivalled volumes. The
last three volumes listed below are softcovers and the final (i.e. volume four)
volume is actually two volumes bound into one.

WALL,
WILLIAM
The
History of Infant Baptism
([1705,
1711, 1720] 1889, 4 volumes)
Very rare and considered the CLASSIC set in this field of study (due to
the detailed and exhaustive research of Mr. Wall), we have published all four
volumes -- including the last two which turned Wall's research into a stirring
debate.
Volume
1. An Impartial
Collection of All Such Passages in the Writers of the Four First Centuries as
do Make For or Against Infant Baptism
Volume
2. Several Things that
do Help to Illustrate the Said History
Volume
3. Reflections
(Reproaches--RB) on (Against--RB) Mr. Wall's History of Infant Baptism (by John Gale)
Volume
4. A Defence of the History
of Infant Baptism
Against the Reflections of Mr. Gale and Others with An Appendix Containing the
Additions and Alterations in the Third Edition... That Are Most Material.
For the first two volumes we
have used the 1889 (two volume) edition because they are far easier to read (as
they contain modern style fonts); volume three is the 1711 edition and volume
four the 1720 edition. This set provides English translation for a large amount
of intriguing material on baptism from the early church that is otherwise
unavailable to English-only readers. 1647 pages.

It is the most amazing collection of works I

In
my opinion, it far surpasses Ages Software and their collections.*
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)."

* 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

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!
I
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."
