The Necessity of Reforming the Church
(1543) by John
Calvin (Written in 1543
this short book covers the principal disputes of the first Reformation. Kevin
Reed summarizes the main points of this treatise as follows: "Calvin
declares the biblical doctrine of justification. The reformer also unfolds the
wider scope of the Reformation, as he states the need to restore biblical
doctrine and practice
regarding the proper means of worship, the correct administration of the
sacraments, and the government of the church. Calvin defends the reformers
against the charge of schism. He rebukes the spirit of ungodly toleration which
masquerades as 'moderation.' The Necessity of Reforming the Church is more than just an historic monument to
the Reformation. It is a spiritual manifesto, calling us to repentance in our
own era of religious corruption.") This book is also free in MP3 audio
beginning at http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?sermonid=1280211493.
Instrumental Music in Public Worship:
The Views of John Calvin
by John Calvin and John Girardeau
Calvin, Close Communion and the Coming
Reformation (a book review of Alexander and Rufus... by John Anderson [1862]) by Reg Barrow (Shows how Calvin practiced close
communion and how the biblical view of this ordinance is intended to purify the
individual, church and state. Refutes the Popish and paedocommunion heresies
(regarding this sacrament), as well as all views of open communion. Also argues
that Arminians, anti-paedobaptists, anti-regulativists, and all those who
openly violate the law of God [and are unrepentant] should be barred from the
Lord's table -- as a corrective measure ordained of God for their recovery.

Worship: The Views of John Calvin, the Westminster Assembly, Many English

Reformed Dutch Church (soon after the Reformation), Zwingle, Spurgeon, et al.
"Instruments were
first introduced into use (in public worship) by the Roman Catholic Church in
the thirteenth century. The Calvinistic Reformed Church ejected instrumental
music from its services as a element of Popery. The historical argument
combines with the scriptural and the confessional arguments to raise a solemn
and powerful protest against the employment of instruments in public worship by
the Presbyterian Church (or any other church seeking to remain faithful to
Scripture)" adapted from Instrumental Music in the Public Worship of the
Church by John L. Girardeau.
John Calvin
- The Unity of the Reformed Churches
With a
Pastor's heart, Calvin's concern for Church unity can be clearly seen in these
letters written to Farel, Melanchthon and Bullinger. Calvin's only letter to
Martin Luther is also included.John Calvin - The
True Method of Giving Peace to Christendom and of Reforming the Church (1548)
Reg Barrow -
Calvin, Close Communion, and the Coming
Reformation (a book review of Alexander and Rufus... by John Anderson [1862])
Shows
how Calvin practiced close communion and covenanting -- and how a biblical view
of these ordinances is intended to purify the individual, church, and state.
Refutes the Popish and paedocommunion heresies (regarding the Lord's Supper), as
well as all views of open communion. Also argues that Arminians,
anti-paedobaptists, anti-regulativists, and all those who openly violate the
law of God [and are unrepentant] should be barred from the Lord's table -- as a
corrective measure ordained of God for their recovery. This is Reformation
History Notes number two.

Greg Barrow
- The Covenanted Reformation Defended (1998)
An
unsurpassed work,
citing original source documents from the Westminster Divines (and the
Covenanted Reformation that gave us the Westminster Standards), Calvin's Geneva, and a broad range of other classic
Reformation sources, documenting what true biblical Reformation is -- as opposed
to the almost complete defection from biblical Reformation attainments among
modern Presbyterian and Reformed churches in our day. Originally written in the
context of a debate
with neopresbyterian Richard [Dick] Bacon. (http://www.swrb.com/newslett/FREEBOOK/GBarrow.htm). Must reading for
anyone who is serious about the truth of Scripture as formulated by some of the
most faithful Christians thus far in history.

James
Chyrstie - Terms of Church Union and Communion
After
having witnessed "Calvinists and avowed Arminians at the table of the Lord,
under the influence of a disposition to esteem their differences of no
importance," the author began to question his own loose views regarding
terms of admission to the Lord's supper. This eventually led to this book.
Promotes the necessity of agreement to faithful creeds and confessions, as
prerequisites to unity and for partaking at the Lord's table. Deals with: the
difference between essentials and non-essentials; which creeds are faithful;
Calvin's and Augustine's views; and the arguments from Holy Scripture.
Theodore
Beza - De Haereticis: A ciuili magistratu
puniendis libellus (1554)
For
Latin readers. Appeared in 1554 as a defense of Calvin's willingness, based on
biblical law, to execute seditious heretics like Servetus (for Calvin saw this
as the civil magistrate's God-given duty). In this work, Whether the Civil
Magistrate Ought to Punish Heretics, "Beza argued... [m]agistrates in
Christian states are representatives of God and are bound by the Word of God in
spiritual matters" (cited in Greaves, Theology and Revolution in the
Scottish Reformation
[Christian University Press, 1980, p. 153]).
War
Against the Idols: The Reformation of Worship from Erasmus to Calvin
Eire shows that as the Reformation progressed the primary focus of the
Reformers became upholding God's sovereign prerogative in worship -- what today
is called the regulative principle of worship. Eire's _War Against the Idols_
demonstrates the extent of the Reformers clear condemnation of Arminianism in
worship (i.e. will-worship [Col. 2:23]) in rejecting all elements of worship that did not have Scriptural
warrant. In fact, Calvin was so intent on highlighting this point, concerning
the centrality of worship (and the application of *Sola Scriptura* as exhibited
in the regulative principle of worship), that he placed worship ahead of
salvation in his list of the two most important elements of Biblical
Christianity.
Regarding Calvin's On the Necessity of Reforming the Church Eire notes,
Calvin speaks about the nature of worship
and about the seriousness of the sin of idolatry in his 1543 treatise, On
the Necessity of Reforming the Church,
where he concentrates on the significance of worship for the Christian
religion. Calvin's argument, as indicated by the title of the treatise, is that
the Church had reached such a corrupt state that its reform could wait no
longer. The most significant aspect of corruption singled out by Calvin is the
perversion of worship, and it is in explaining this issue that he set forth the
basis for his attack on idolatry.
Calvin begins by studying the place that worship holds in the Christian faith,
and he concludes that it is one of the two elements that define Christianity:
"If it be asked, then, by what things chiefly the Christian religion has a
standing amongst us, and maintains its truth, it will be found that the
following two not only occupy the principal place, but comprehend under them
all the other parts, and consequently the whole substance of Christianity,
viz., a knowledge first, of the right way to worship God; and secondly of the
source from which salvation is to be sought. When these are kept out of view,
though we may glory in the name of Christians, our profession is empty and
vain."
(War Against the Idols, p. 198 citing from Calvin's On the Necessity of Reforming the Church)
The scholarly translational work found in Eire's book also gives insights into
the worship question not found in any other English history books (concerning
Calvin, Knox, and a host of others) -- for it contains much from previously
untranslated (into English that is) Reformation documents.
A large portion of this book centers on Calvin, but its major thrust is to
reveal the single most burning issue confronting the Reformers: purity of
worship! Furthermore, this book's teaching regarding the Reformers (and their
view of the Scriptural law of worship) is as applicable today as it was in the
days of the first Reformation -- for it demonstrates the time tested Biblical
principles which guard against the errors, excesses, and idolatries of the
Roman harlot, Eastern Orthodoxy and all liturgical innovators on one hand and
the modern "evangelicals," Anabaptists and Charismatics on the other.
This is, without a doubt, one of the best Reformation history books available
-- stirring, scholarly, relevant and edifying!
As far as we know this book may be out of print in the near future, so those
interested would be advised to obtain a copy as soon as possible.

CALVIN,
JOHN
Come
Out From Among Them: The "Anti-Nicodemite" Writings of John Calvin
Much of Calvin's
best work still lays buried in languages other than English (as Eire's book War
Against The Idols: The Reformation of Worship from Erasmus to Calvin [http://www.swrb.com/catalog/E.htm] testifies). This will no
longer be the case with these fine sermons and writings, of which most are now
translated, for the first time ever, into English!
Calvin placed the central
emphasis of the Reformation not on the doctrine of salvation alone, but equally
upon the foundation of biblically-regulated worship. The works
contained in this newly compiled edition find Calvin at his
"ballistic" best as he refutes and rebukes all those who would
undermine the Reformation, by compromising the truth of Christ, in their
outward attendance among those who practice idolatrous acts of
"worship" (i.e. those referred to as the "Nicodemites").
Here we find
Calvin calling for separation from all churches which embrace idolatrous
worship. He takes the
bold and Biblical stand that only the most seriously committed Reformers ever
understood (like Knox), even proclaiming that it
is better to worship privately in your home than to engage in dissimulation by
participating in ordinances of worship which are known to be false.
For Calvin clearly taught,
When
the spiritual government doth degenerate, the consciences of the godly are at
liberty, and set free from obeying unjust authority;
especially if the wicked and profane enemies of holiness do falsely pretend the
title of priesthood (i.e. clergy--OC) to overthrow the doctrine of salvation
(as do Arminians, Neonomians, Antinomians, Dispensationalists, etc.--OC), and
challenge to themselves such authority, as that they will be thereby equal with
God (i.e. making the law of God void through human traditions; e.g. humanly
composed hymns, instrumental music, choirs, holy-days, etc.--OC)" (Calvin
as cited in The Original Covenanter and Contending Witness magazine).
As Calvin's words once again
thunder down the corridors of the centuries, in the common language of the
people, they will certainly ring true in the ears of those who hear the
Master's voice, providing a firm foundation for future Reformation(s). This
title also contains another excellent "Publishers Introduction" by
Kevin Reed, which we believe is worth the price of the book on its own.
Combined with Calvin's work (which is easily worth its weight in gold), this is
a must read for serious modern Reformers.
Come Out From
Among Them: The "Anti-Nicodemite" Writings of John Calvin is also now available for

CALVIN ON
SEPARATION FROM FALSE WORSHIP (i.e. worship not based
on the second commandment or what is now called the regulative
principle of worship) AND WORSHIPPING
PRIVATELY (IN YOUR HOME)
"Some one will therefore ask me what
counsel I would like to give to a believer who thus dwells in some Egypt or
Babylon where he may not worship God purely, but is forced by the common
practice to accommodate himself to bad things. The
first advice would be to leave [i.e. relocate--GB] if he could. . .
. If someone has no way to depart, I would counsel him to consider whether it
would be possible for him to abstain from all idolatry in order to preserve
himself pure and spotless toward God in both body and soul. ***Then let him worship God in private*** (in his
home--RB), praying him to restore his poor church to its right
estate (John Calvin, Come Out From Among Them, The Anti-Nicodemite Writings
of John Calvin,
Protestant Heritage Press, "A Short Teatise," pp. 93-94, emphases
added, on sale at http://www.swrb.com/catalog/c.htm . Come Out From
Among Them is also on the new PHP CD [ http://www.swrb.com/newslett/FREEBOOK/KReed.htm ]).
Calvin quote (above) cited in: Appendix G in The Covenanted Reformation Defended
by Greg Barrow (http://www.swrb.com/newslett/actualnls/append_g.htm), "A brief examination of Mr. Bacon's principles regarding
the visible church and the use of private judgment. Also, some
observations regarding his ignoble attack upon Kevin Reed in his book entitled The
Visible Church in the Outer Darkness."
Romans 16:17 is
also very clear on this point:
"Now I beseech you, brethren,
mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the (Apostolic--RB)
doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them."
